ries Company.

decided TO allow the Washington and Get
tysburg Railway to be built by the COM
pany represented by George H Harries
Two companies claim the right TO build
the road. The second company is headed
by T. William Harris with Benton c. Bell
lear as vice-president. and Henry ". Will
liarns as secretary and treasurer. Both
companies recently made separate appli-
cations for permission 10 build the road
After T. William Harris made his appli-
cation George H. Harries sent a protest TO
the Commissioners, claiming that only the
company OF which he was president had
the right to build the road.
The question as the proper company TO
which TO grant the permit was considered
at board session held yesterday. The
Commissioners approved a recommenda-
tiou by Engineer Commissioner Beach to
the effect that Mr. Harries be informed
that the Commissioners were not able TO
enter into the legal questions involved as
to whether his organization or the other
is the Washington and Gettysburg Rail-
way II was decided TO issue the per-
miJ TO the company represented by George
II Harries. as that company had made the
frst depos.s and application for permit.
The Commissioners state that they do not
desire to delay the work of construction
and not considering IL their province to de-
ternined 10 end the matter by granting the
permit to the first applicant. Mr.. Harris
Will be so informed. and also advised
that il he has any objections his remedy
must be sought in the courts.

THE STREET CAR SERVICE.
Lines TO Suspend Operation During
jubilee Parudes.

Arrangements were completed yesterday
for the operation of the street car service
during the Peace Jubilee.
Early in the day a delegation of busi-
ness men. consisting of Messrs. A c.
Hawley. V. Baldwin johnson, Frank K.
Raymond, DR.. d. Percy Hickling. William
Dickson. and G.. C. Lancaster, called on
the District Commissioners. and asked that
the street car service on the Avenue, be-
tween the Peace monument and Eighteenth
Street; on F. between Seventh and Four
teenth Streets: on Fourteenth Street. be-
tween II and f Streets, and on Seventh
Street, between + Street and Pennsylvan-
Ia Avenue be discontinued on each after
noon of the three days of the Jubilee,
only while the professions were in pro-
gres5. The delegation asked that the mat
ter OF operating and disseminating the car
service be left TO the option OF the Chief
of Police, who might arrange to have them
resume operations as soon as the parades
are over. in order that there might be
no unnecessary delay in traffic.
At o'clock the Commissioners conferred
with President Dunlop. of the Capital
Traction Company, and Superintendent
Coleman, of the Metropolitan Railway
Company. and we're assured that the cars
Of their companies would be operated so
as not TO interfere with the Jubilee They
will be stopped just before the parade on
each day OF the celebration.
One serious phase of the matter was
found 10 be that mail cars are operated
on the street railway lines, and they would
also have TO be stopped. The postoffice
authorities were also communicated with
with the result that they expressed them
selves as being willing to permit their
cars to be stopped also. in common with
the other cars on the various lines cross
ing the route of the procession.
