Up-LOcnl Notes of Gem
eral Interest.

The Georgetown end Of the Metropolitan
railroad has lost some Of its prestige since
the Introduction CT the underground electric
system. The offices of the company, which
have for some years been located on
street near Rock creek. have been removed
to the new building Of the company, Just
back of Lincoln Park. The old houses Of
the company at this end of the line will
only be used as sheds. The build
ings are more than large enough for this.
and it has been stated that the company
will subdivide most of it's land and place
1t on the market in building lots, reserving
sufficient space for its own use
Some time ago the report was in circula-
.ioh mat the company had purchased sew
erdl lots near 36th street and Prospect ave-
nue., opposite the new union depot upon
the Site of which western terminal would
be erected 1t will be remembered that at
the time the union depot was projected
there were four lines, including the Metro
politan. which were supposed to enter the
building. For some reason the Metropolitan
refused to enter. the place, and. contem-
plating erecting q place of It's own bought
the land mentioned above Nothing has
been done since then.
Mckinley Banner.
There is a banner for Mckinley and Ho-
bart stretched across P street, between 26th
and 9th streets, which is occasfoning the
police a good deal of trouble. When the
banner was stretched In place and who put
1t up Is something that has not as yet been
ascertained, but this Is not so much the
question with the police. who want to find
out II the necessary permission has been
given by the Commissioners for the pur-
pose. The banner is a large white affair
and IS supposed to have been put UP by the
Lorin NJ. Saunders Republican Club. The
banner is tied from tree to tree, and was
probably put In place al night. If 1t Is
found that no permit was given the police
will take the banner down and confiscate it
most likely, at the same time endeavoring
to find out who put it in place.
