PROPOSED DEPOT CHANGE5.-Th
Commissioners of the District OF Column
bia have determined upon certain
changes in railroad terminals ana
depots 10 Washington and II is believed
that plans for railroad facilities 10
keepius with the dignity OF the nation
al espitsl have been arrived at. Plans
for a part of the great undertaking OF
constructing suitable terminal facilities
have been prepared and submitted to
the Commissioners, and approved. The
change Of relation between the Penn
sylvania and Baltimore and ONO Rail-
road Companies has brought APP
parently within reach still further i'm
provements. A union station, accomo-
dating all steam railroads entering the
CITY. together with the clearance OF
tracks and stations from the Mall, 10
addition to the abolition of the grade
crossings, seem to be within sight. O1e
Dlan is TO connect the Baltimore and
Ohio lines on Delaware avenue with
the Pennsylvania tracks on Virginia
avenue by means OF double'track tun-
mel from the ground just north OF y
street northeast, thence following the
line of First street east to b street
south; thence curving In Virginia
avenue near First street west.
This would permit the establishment
of a through station on the site OF the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad CompaDy's
terminal property at Delaware avenue
and c street northeast, and would con-
template the rebuilding of the Baltimore
and Potomac Railroad through Wash
ineton as already authorized by Cor
Rress, with the exception OF the branch
aud station on the Mail. A large union
station could thus be provided on 90
eligible site, with through station and
a sub-station-tle railway company
deeming the latter a necessary essential
in Neutrality-suspicious. the bulk ofthe
traffic from the North and also from the
South stops at Washington, but, OF
course, it would be necessary to have
through connection for the through
North aud South passenger trains, ss
otherwise il would mean long detour.
The Commissioners recommend that
the necessary legislation be enacted at
as early date as possible to secure
these improvements.
