The Railroad Nuisance.
To the Editor Of The Evening Star:

10 the Editor OF Ihe Evening Star:
1t was with much interest that read the
letter of T. A. Burns in your valuable pa
per relative to the nuisance created by. the
steam railroad in South Washington. This
corporation seems to be the best law-pro-
tected one in this city. Several years ago
they started to erect line Of telegraph
poles in the center of Maryland avenue
along their line of tracks, l wrote to the
District Commissioners inquiring whether
permit had been issued, and was an
swered that my letter had been referred to
the engineer department for investigation.
The matter then died out and the poles are
still standing there with a number of wires
stretched thereon. l then complained about
the parking of freight cars on the avenue
and was informed that the police regula-
tions could not reach the matter, but that
IL choose l could resort to civil suit for
redress. 1 then entered a complaint rela-
tive to the smoke and cfnders from the en-
gines. and was answered that the smoke
law only applied to stationary engines. The
condition of affairs is worse than represent
ed by Mr.. Burns. The tracks are blocked
with cars at all hours of the day and night
The "protective' fences are removed to
load and unload rural excursions at all
hours. Trains are constantly passing with
the engine bells ringing loudly and occa-
sionaly the whistles are blown to relieve
the monotony. Clothing, furniture and
health are ruined with the dense black
smoke and cinders, it Is almost an impossi-
bility to keep the windows hoisted in sum-
mer, no matter how warm the weather, as
the cinders sift through the finest window
screens. The banging caused by the shift
ing and shunting Of cars is almost unbear-
able. and Is Injurious to the nerves of
healthy people, not to mention invalids.
Congress granted them the right to use two
tracks along Maryland avenue, and they
now have five In constant use. This rail-
road seems to have the faculty and facility
of taking anything they desire. Several
years ago they wanted more room for their
freight In
six or seven feet of the public parking on
D street between 9th and 10th streets, plac-
ing the fence even with the pavement and
placing track on the ground so annexed.
