Why Ii ThisH

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
notice that a bill has been introduced
to widen the Anacostia road. and to author
lie the extension Of the Columbia street
railroad along the road thus widened To
this no one will object, but the bill further
provides that the land condemned for
widening the road. together with 5000 to
pay for the expenses of the condemnation.
is required to be paid wholly from the reve-
nues of the District. AS this land Is to be
devoted to the use of the railroad company,
1t would seem but fair and just that the
company and not the taxpayers should
pay for it, especially as the company pays
nothing for its franchise At any rate. if
Congress insists that the land shall be paid
for by the public and not by the com
pany, then the United States government
should pay it's half, especially as it owns
considerably more than one-half of all the
property in the District, on which it does
not and never has paid any taxes.
FAIR PLAY.
