METROPOLITAN EXTENSION.
Report of Commissioners on Bills
Before Congress.

In a letter to Representative Babcock,
chairman of the House District committee,
the District Commissioners have submitted
to provide for the extension of the Metro
poitan railroad along 11th street south
east as follows:
"A map, inclosed, shows the proposed
route of the extension asked for in the
bill. The object of the bill is as stated by
the officials of the company in question,
to provide connection for the Metropoli-
tan railroad with railroad reaching the sec
ton of the District beyond the Anacostia.
In view of the fact that the Capital hall
way Company and the AnacoStia and Poto-
mac River Railroad Company have passed
into the hands of parties, who, it is under
stood. contemplate remodeiing the systems,
and the further fact that there is a clause
in the charter of the Capital Railway Com
pany which permits the extension OF that
road up 1lth street to connect with the
Metropolitan railroad, the Commissioners
would recommend favorable action upon
the bill, with the following proviso added
Immediately after the enacung clause:
That in case the Capital Railway Com
pany fails to build the portion OF its line on
I1th street southeast in the time required
by the act of June 10, 1925
A similar letted has been addressed by
the Commissioners to Senator Mcmillan,
chairman of the Senate District committee,
on Senate bill 4SW, providing for the same
extension.
Attention is called by the Commissioners
to all error in the bill. Wherever the words
r street occur in the bill they should De-
they say, changed to read T. street as
there is no street in the southeast section
of the city known as F street, and 1t Is
known that L street is correct.
