THE NEAR SIDE BEST.
The Views of Henry 5. Hall on Stop
ping street Cars.

The Commissioners yesterday received
a communication from Henry S. Hall. of
IS NJ Street northwest, in which he
strongly advocates the stopping Of the
street cars on the near side Of the street
I cannot imagine" he writes how your
honorable body could ever arrive at the
conclusion TO direct the stopping Of street
cars on the far side OF the street instead
Of the near side. The near side has every
consideration OF safety IN its favor. and
the far side arrangement has none You
should reverse your recent ruling FOR the
following reasons:
IF every car were TO stop on the near
side no crossing accidents would occur.
because IN the case Of intersecting tracks
two cars travelling at right angles would
not collide unless they both started to
cross the street at the same time-a Thing
not at all likely TO occur. In case or
collision Of cars and vehicles the danger
Of demolition would be small as the carS
would be going at a very low rate of
speed, in short Just starting up.
In Northern cities steam cars enter
ing and departing are required to stop
dead at intersecting highways. Carriages
and pedestrians could then cross streets
with iEpunity, as drivers and pedestrians
would know as an absolute fact that the
-s@4S "bAA4l Ngi4t 70 Il 5tCp On llle near
side. II steam trains were required to
stop on the far side the highway would
be blocked, and this applies in a great
measure to street cars whereas by stop
ping on the near side there Is never any
blocking.
stopping on the far side courts and in
vites danger and loss Of life, limb, and
property. Generally now cars stop on the
near and the far side Of intersucJing lines.
Some DO and some do not and some motor
men. as ! am told by street railway en-
plCyes. use their discretion in stopping or
not on the far side Of the iu,ersecting
tracks.
Issue an absolute rule that all cars
shall come to a stop at iHtersectiug tracks
whether passengers are to get on or Off
and that all cars shall stop on the near
side Of highways 10 take on or let off
passengers. DO this and you will have no
accidents; pursue the present system and
there is trouble ahead"
The letter OF Mr.. Hall has been noted
by the Commissioners and filed for refer
ence when railroad matters are taken up

This is the kind of weather that makes
one feel the need of & dip in the salt

Joy, within an hours ride OF the city. the
delights Of a bath in the brine, the fresh
salt laden breeges, ard the incidental
Gmusements which are provided so lavish
" at Chesapeake Beach. the resort is
also connected with the city of Baltimore
and excellent excursion steamers make the
trip between the two points several times
each day.
At the beach the long beard walk, a
mile in length. Is Gaily thronged with Wis
itOr5. The numerous amusement pavilion5
are constructed on the shore side OF the
promenade. Here is an immense scenic
railway. a geological carousal. a camera
, obscuTa, a fish pond, a german pavilion. a
dance pavilion. and many other places

EIGHTH DIVISION SCHOOL.
Rcns"ns for Locating the building.
ia TWinin;c City.

III lNiniHS city.
The Commissioners have received com
munication from II. / Weller. OF 6)2 f
Street northwest. in which he offers lots
for the site Of a schooihouse in Twining
City. and gives reasons why it should be
located there.
For number OF years" he says. this
thriving subdivision which took its name
from the late Engineer Commissioner,
Major William J. Twining. and which con-
tains within its limits and Immediate vi
entity ninety-six children attending school.
has been clanoIng for a building of brick
and well adapted to the purposes OF a
school. The present school building Is a
frame structure occupied in the lower floor
as feed store, and owing to the COM
bustible nature of the building the school
is but poorly attended the parents pre-
ferring TO send their children to the Ana
costa or the city schools
Il have the names OF the parents and the
number of children attending the various
grades as follows: First grade p, second
grade lG. third grade %. fourth grade II,
nth grade 10, and in the sixth. seventh,
eighth grades. and In the High School there
are children. The Board OF School Trus-
tees nave upon the petition OF the resi-
endorsed by the East Washington Citizens
Association, fOrcibly recommended the
erection Of a brick school house In Twning
City. This also received your approval in
1898 in the letter Of estimates submitted to
Congress and was renewed again by you
in 1899. which clearly indicates your de-
cisOn In the case.
THE House Committee on Appropriations
this year inserted an item in the District
bill OF 800 600 for this purpose and the bill
was passed. but in the Senate the words
'Twiuing City were stricken out and the
words eighth division inserted and in this
manner became a law. In view of all
these circumstances it must be admitted
that II was clearly the intention Of Con-
gress to place this building either in Twin
ing City or in its immediate neighbOrhood.
Il am informed that certain parties are
trying to influence your honorable Board
to have the school building for the Eighth
division erected on the hills in some re-
mote location east Of Twining City. /
therefore respectfully request that you
will kindly adhere to your original reso-
tuition and locate the building where IL
viii do the most good to the greatest num-
Der. that is in Twining city"
The Commissioners have noted the let
ter of Mr.. Weller and il will be duly con-
sidered when the question Of locating the
new school building in the Eighth division
is taken up.
