originated. As soon as the blaze was
noticed an alarm was sent IN. and the
fire department responded. The flames.

the dry kiln, with the shingles II con-
tanned. was consumed. Two cars on the
railroad track close by the kiln were also
destroyed. The cars were loaded with
shingles. and nothings could be done u
save the contents.
The shingle mill itself had a narrow es-
cape from destruction. as several times
the flying cinders ignited the roof The
main part OF the work OF the IRE Depart
ment was to save the min from the
flames. and several of the firemen put
themselves I'm great danger while extln-
gushing the flames. The firemen remain

OBJECTS TO THE REMEDY,
President of Railway Company Dis
cusses Precautionary Measure.

President of Railway Company Dis
cusses Precautionary Measure.
The District Commissioners are in receipt
of letter from Mr.. F. c. Stevens. presi-
dent of the Washington Traction and Eec-
trio Company. in which he states that after
considering the proposition made by the
Commissioners relative to precautionary
stops before crossing streets upon which
fire department apparatus is ordinarily run,
he is forced to the conclusion that the rem
edy suggested would not promote or con-
serve the public interest, but would, on the
contrary, work great and dangerous con-
fusion.
your list Of extraordinary stops Is so
large" says Mr.. Stevens, that it, in con-
junction with the stops now required by
law and by a due regard for human life
and property, amounts to a suggestion that
we stop all our cars on both sides Of a
great majority Of the intersecting streets.
Such a proposition in its entirety would
hardly be urged by any one because It's
practical effect. In operation. would be to
rerder impossible anything like such legal
rapid transit as Is continually demanded by
our patrons.
1T is. however entirely proper to use all
precautlon to prevent possible collision be-
tween street cars and fire department ap-
paratus, and this l am convinced be
accomplished by an amendment to the po-
ice regulations requiring all street cars TO
stop on the near side Of intersecting streets.
Such an amendment, 1 certain, would
be in the public interest.
THE chief Of the fire department has ex-
pressed himself very strongly in behalf Of
the near side stop, and his views have the
support of this community's experience.
incidentally l may say that prior to any
suggestion by yourselves, I ordered stops
on both sides of r street on 9th and near
the truck house on New York avenue, thus
rendering practically impossible any acci-
dents at those important points.
For many years we operated the near
side stop to the satisfaction Of a large ma
jority of the parties concerned and without
any accident for which the near side stop
could be held responsible The people had
no cause for criticism; the Commission
ers found no cause for complaint: the rail-
road companies suffered only a minimum of
casualties.
'SympathiZing most heartily with your
desire to protect the fire department l
nevertheless feel impelled to suggest that
the safety and comfort Of the balance of
our population should also be considered
There must be one rule as to stops unless
we plan to confuse and injure the public,
our employees and our equipment The only
rule that will give us the broadcast margin
of safety Is the near side rule"
