RAILROAD AFFAIRs.-Mr. Brown,
superintendent of the Pennsylvania
Railroad, in an interview recently in
regard to the operations and purposes
OF his company in this vicinity, is quot
ed as saying:
"Tne people in Washington want
new bridge across the Potomac, to
take the place of the Long bridge.
Well, the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
Fany does not intend TO put one there.
The present structure suits us, and we
VII continue to use it, unless the gov
ernment shall decide to build another
bridge for us. To replace the one now
there would cost at least $500 600, al d
as that would be q useless expend-
i.ure. and waste of that much money,
We intend TO get along in the future as
we haze done in the past. The Lol &
bridge can accommodate all the rail-
Ioais that want to get into Wishing
ton. We agreed at the time we &C.
CURED the bridge. years ago, that all
railroads then in being or that might at
any future time come into existence,
and that wanted TO get into Washing
ton over the bridge, might do so, pre-
yided each road so wishing should pay
lis proportion OF the expense ofrepairs,
and We intend to stand by our agree
ment. That is the reason the Chesa-
peake and Ohio, the Southern and all
tue ether rosds whose trains use the
Baltimore and Potomic station in
W ashiugton come over the bridge. The
Baltimore and Ohio and the Norfolk
and Western would have the same
privilege il they were around there,
and II would be freely accorded to
them. The Pennsylvania Railroad
lompauy does not Intend to spend q
collar more than is necessary to main
tam the efficiency of its system in
Washington or vicinity until we know
whether Senator McMillan's bill in
reference to the company is to pass or
not The company is we'll satisfied
with the tracks in Washington as they
are at present, and will make no
Change in their arrangement unless Con
ere>s DEGREES that it must be done. I
imagine some time will elapse before
there will be much for .he railroad
company to DO in the matter"
