PLANS FOR THE NEW
RAILWAY STATION.
A LONG CONFERENCE YESTERDAY.
Commissioner Biddie Examines the
Drawings OF the Chief En-
sineer-Depot Approaches
and Street Grades.

An important conference between W.
H. Brown. chief engineer OF the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad; D. H. Burnham. Of the
Park Commission, and Col. John Biddle,
the Engineer Commissioner of the Dis
trict. was held in the office of the latter
yesterday. The conference lasted for sew
eral hours, and was devoted to the new
plans for the union station and terminal
facilities for Washington, the details OF
which were recently published in The
Times.
Colonel Biddle was made acquainted
with the plans. and their effect upon the
streets, especially in the vicinity Of Mas
sachusetts Avenue and North Capitol
Street, WIS gone over. Property holders
and residents in the northeast section are
somewhat s5ucitous about the closing OF
the streets IN that quarter, and the OBJ
ject of the Commissioner was to ascer-
tain exactly TO what extent, If eny. street
traffic would De interfered with.
Closing of street.
The closing Of Street or The closging
Of traffic thereon is thought to be a
thing specially to be avoided, as it is
practically the only clear highway free
from street car lines to the northeast. For
several years it has been inuch-traveled
thoroughfare and though the union sta
tion is a thing 10 be desired residents and
property holders are anxious that the
present facilities for street traffic should
be preserved intact.
The plans of the station, of its ap-
proaches, and the grades to be effected
were discussed at length, and Colonel Bid
die after the interview, expressed gcner-
al satisfaction with the plans, in the main.
1t remains to be seen whether they can
be worked without detriment to the
northeast section of the city. He ex-
pressed confidence in the utility of the
plan, both from the railroad standpoint
and that Of the city, and his opinion is
that in the legislation necessary to the
consummation of the plan the best in
terests Of the District will be fully pro-
tected.
Colonel Biddle with his assistants, viii
now examine the plans in detail, and sub
nit a report 10 the committees of Con-
gress.
Referred to the Attorney.
on motion of Commissioner Ross yes
terday the Board OF District Commission
ers referred to their attorney for an opin-
ion The application of W. w. Liebert for
the cancellation Of water main assess
meut against lots SO and 81 in square GA,
bounded by X l.. North Capitol and First
Streets. II appears that the assessment
referred to was recently made upon the
tapping OF an Old water main laid in X
Street several years ago. the exact date
OF which is not now obtainable.
Having in mind the laws of the time
| when the main was laid, which contained
| certain requirements relative to mains
| and water plugs, the Assessor in a report
| upon the matter stated his belief that
the assessment was erroneous, and recon-
| mended that 1t be cancelled.
Commissioner Ross doubts the pro-
| priety of such action, and therefore in
stigated the action indicat ed above.

| the boilers that are being installed in
The Washington times., 1901-12-07

the new manual training school building
on p Street has been something of bone
of contention between the contractor and
the District authorities. In the first place,
the contractor sought to introduce stoker
of a specified type. which was claimed to
meet all the requirements of the specifi-
cations. II was then decided that one
stoker of the Rooney pattern and another
of the Acme style should be used.
The contractor wrote to the Commits
sioners a few days ago to the effect that
the companies declined TO install single
stoker and asked that both might be OF
one type.
In view of this objection it has now
been decided that Acme stokers shall be
installed under both boilers.

On my way to the old familiar town
of Delhi the other day L called at the
County Farm and had very pleasant
time while there. talked with several
of the inmates and they seemed pleased
with the treatment they received. The
stock all looks fine, and crops were
mostly In. The house is very clean

no mistake when they employed Mr..

Delhi looks quite natural, and many
of its residents have known quite

county into prominence. The idea is
good one and worthy one and no time
should be lost in putting it into execu-
ton. Furthermore the proper place
for the erection of such memorial is
on the site Of the old creamery near
Manchester where was manufactured
the butter that took the gold medal at
the Centennial. The old creamery
itself was obliterated when it became
the property of the government for q
fish cultural station, but at the base of
the bluff where 1t stood there gushes
out one of the finest springs in the
west. The grounds about the historic
site have been greatly besutilied by the
government, but we have always
thought it was a shame to reduce the
old landmark which marked the be-
ginning of Iowa's great prosperity.
There could be no better place selected
for the erection of a memorial, and
there is scarce more beautiful OF
romantic spot.-Leader.

The large and increasing circulation
of The Iowa Homestead In this county
is q matter for congratulation to the
publishers and to good farming, for, of
all the papers of its class in the coun-
try, 1t is easily the best and most help
full. Its Special Farmers Institute
editions, issued with the regular edition
the first week in each month, have been
for years the admiration of all practi-
cal farmers. Written wholly by farm
ers, they are full of actual experience,
and smell of the soil. We have been
fortunate enough this season to secure
terms for The Homestead and its Spec
ial Farmers Institute Editions, together
with The Poultry Farmer and The
Farmers Mutual Insurance Journal,
four of the most valuable farm publ
cations in the country, that enable us to
offer the four in connection with our
own paper for $3.50 for the entire FIVE,
one year. This is emphatically good
thing, and no farmer in this county
should fail to take advantage of this
offer. For q large line of thoroughly
practical farm reading nothing has ever
been offered before that equals 1t. A
