STREET RAILWAY PLANS.
East Washington Heights Citizens
Seeking Information.

Discussion of street railway plans has
been general for a number of weeks among
the residents of the several villages COM
prising the suburban section of East Wash
ington Heights. The real conditions are
known but to a few people 1t is stated, and
these few have not definitely determined
what course to pursue in the matter. The
amending at the late session of Congress of
the charter granted several years since to
the corporation known as the East Wash
ington Heights Railway Company has been
responsible for the reports current in con-
nection with the building of the street car
line in the section of the District referred
to. The original charter obtained by this
company provided for the construction Of
street railway between the bridge over
the Eastern branch at Twining City, and
the towns of Twinng City, Good Hope,
Garfield and the neighboring territory, con-
nection to be made with the cars of the
Capital Traction Company above the
bridge. The route was planned to be along
Pennsylvania avenue extended, along
Branch avenue and along Bowen road to
Good Hope and vicinity. Provision was
also made for branch lines to Anacosta.
Benning and the District line. The East
ern branch was to be crossed on a specially
built trestle.
The persons who have been identified with
the company have lately made known the
fact that at the last session of Congress
they succeeded in securing an extension of
this charter for another year, with the adj
ditional important concession of crossing
the Pennsylvania avenue bridge at Twning
City with line of single track State
ments that 1t is the intention of the com
pany to go ahead with the construction OF
the road led a number of citizens in the
section covered by the charter to make in
quiry regarding 1t, the story seeming to be
probable in view of certain real estate spec
ulations that have been occurring from
time to time in East Washington Heights
property.
1t is learned that a meeting of the per-
sons interested in the future of the com
pany was held several days ago, Informally,
at Congress Heights, when a thorough dis
cusson of the plans of the company was
had. 1t is stated that no conclusion as to
the immediate building of the line was
reached. The opinion prevailed at this
meeting, it is said, that those persons other
than the parties directly concerned in the
building of the line who would benefit by
having their property developed by the
road should come forward and with their
funds assist in the construction of the line.
While 1t is thought that the road will ulti-
mately be built it is believed it will not
terminate at the District line, but may be
continued through to Suitland, Md, or
farther.
