Major SylyesteF's RecOmmendatiO
Regarding Alleged Violation of Law

Major Sy5yest&F,s RecOmme ndafiOn
Regarding Alleged Violation of Law.
Major Richard Sylvester. the superinten-
dent Of police. has recommended to the
District Commissioners that warrant be
issued for the arrest of ]. F. Herman, who
has advertised for hire a three-seated au-
tomobile, and whom, Major Sylvester de-
clares, has taken his place a public
hack stand without being licensed. Sew
eral days ago Major Sylvester informed
the hack inspector that he had been IN
structed by Commissioner Ross to permit
Mr.. Herman to obtain license Tor his
automobile by the payment of 80. and to
occupy a public stand upon the granting OF
the same and to be subject to the regnla-
lions pertaining to other vehicles. A. r..
Lamb the inspector, reported back to the
superintendent that Mr.. Herman declined
to pay a license tax until the necessity for
so doing has been judicially determined.
He also reported that Mr.. Pugh, the assist
ant attorney for the District, declined to
issue a warrant for Mr.. Herman on the
ground that an identical case Is now pend
ing against Mr.; Headley, general manager
of the Washington Electrical Vehicle
Transportation Company.
Upon receiving this report, Major Sylves-
ter recommended to the Commissioners,
that in view Of the fact that the assistant
attorney for the District refuses a warrant
in the case, he urges that the one now pend
ing against Mr.. Headley be followed to a
conclusion, and that the assistant attorney
be instructed to issue a warrant for Mr..
Herman's arrest, the latter having taken
his place on pubic mack STAND without
being licensed
There is no law at present in force spe-
cifcaIIy covering the licensing Of automo
biles. It Is stated, and there Is some ques-
may not temporarily apply until Congress
convene.

RECOMMENDS APPROVAL.
Commissioners Beach IndOrses AppI
cation Of Hallway COMPANY.

Commissioner Beach IndOrses AppIi-
cation of Railway Company.
Captain Lansing II. Beach, the Engineer
Commissioner, has recommended to his as
sociates Of the District board that a new
style of rail, submitted by the Washing
ton Traction and Electric Company for use
In relaying it's tracks and building extern
sions, be approved. The new type Of rail
is but modification of that at present
Ia use on the city streets. 1t is believed to
be an improvement over the old rail in
many ways, however. The slot in which
slightly wider than the present one, but
the arm which forms the slots extends
toward the inside of the tracks further. It
presents wider but Shallower slot, In
other words. 1t was believed that the pres
ent slot was narrow enough to prevent
any tire Of a vehicle from becoming caught
In 1t, but there have been several instances
where such a thing has occurred. Owing to
the broad angles of the slot in the new
rail the wheels of vehicles may run in and
slight deffectionyof their true course.
The new rail Will be an advantage to the
company infthat the slot being wider will
not become SO readily clogged with dust
yield to cleaning more readily. A broom
will clean the new slot, whereas the dirt In
the old slots often has to be pried out with
iron rods. In regard to the matter Capt.
Beach sayssT
AFTER investigation and examination OF
this matter tt is believed that the rail de-
sired to be fused will be as satisfactory to
pedestrian aud vehicle traffic as the present
rail. and 1t is believed to possess some ad-
vantages oyer the form now in use. The
form which It Is desired to use has been in
stalled In New York city for some time
past with excellent results.

TO EXTEND STREET RAILWAY
cesSEcrfCuTN AVENUE LINE TO Go
To MOUNT PLEASANT.
Decision Rescued by Washington
rracti,sn c.npa.y to Besi- rhi.
3 woss5k at Once.

1t was stated today at the offices OF the
Washington Traction Company that the
decision had beeh reached to begin at once
the construction, Of the proposed extension
of the Connecticut avenue line of that sys-
tenn. The company is authorized to extend
the tracks of that line from the present
terminus at Columbia road and 18th street
eastward on Columbia road to what Is
known as old 18th street. thence north to
the junction of the latter with Park avenue
in Mt Pleasant. While the distance Is
about one mile, 1t will add an important
section to that part of the street railroad
system. Double tracks, with the under
ground electric system, will be put down
exactly similar to the construction OF the
part OF the line already built.
It Is proposed to carry on this work while
the District government Is engaged In wild
enlng Columbia road to 100 feet. The
widening of 10Th street Is also incomplete.
but 1t Is probable when the roadway Is fin
ished that the railroad work will also be
done, so that the cars on the new line will
run directly from the Capitol to 18th street
and Park street
It is estimated that the cost of this new
piece of railroad building will be In the
neighborhood of $4,000. It is stated that
the company has made arrangements to
finance the undertaking, and that In the
course of a few days bids for the work will
be called for. There may be some delay
In getting the iron rails but 1t Is the pur-
pose to push the undertaking to compile
ton as rapidly as possible.
AS the new part of the line will pass
through section Of the suburbs which Is
beginning to be built up. it Is anticipated
that the movement of population In that
direction, which is already a feature OF
real estate conditions, will be favorably
effected. while the residents will get the
benefit of having near at hand the con.
venience of a rapid transit line.
