able and skillful engineers Of the railroad
companies, cannot devise plan to confine
the limits of the passenger terminal to the
area south of H street, even though it be
necessary to extend farther eastward and
westward than the bill proposes.
Though of comparatively small moment,
we call your attention to the fact that
bonus of 81 500 900 is proposed to be given
the Pennsylvania road for abandoning Its
tracks on the mall and that the $15OO.OOO
contribution to the Baltimore and Ohio
company under the present law Is not re-
pealed. This latter contribution Is an in
demnity to the Baltimore and Ohio COM
pany for removing all Of Its tracks north
erly from its present station and the build
ing of a viaduct mile or more IN length
We hope that the railroad companies Will
pardon us for suggesting that inasmuch as
under the present bill very short viaduct,
IL any, would be necessary, there Is no good
reason for making this contribution.
ITO be brief, We recommend that this as
ISOLATION use its influence in every direc-
ton to prevent the closing of any part of
II street. and that We call upon all the peo-
pie of the northeastern portion OF the Dis
trict and all of our friends elsewhere to
aid us in preventing even the consideration
of such a proposition.
The Matter Discussed.
How do they propose that we shall get
through H street?' was asked.
They propose that you shall not get
through at ALL Mr.. Frizzell answered.
THE bill closes every street from G to X
Streets" President Tucker remarked.
'1t seems to me-" said DR.. E. w. Kirby,
that the affair is intended as huge joke,
and is probably intended to enforce COM
promise
During the discussion which followed,
Mr.. Frizzell suggested that the citizens
of Northeast Washington should meet in
mass meeting to denounce the measure.
His chief objection was to that part Of the
bill which provides for the closing of H
street.
I'VE are absolutely in the power of the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company" stated
President Tucker during the discussion.
The influence of the company, he said, Is
very great. There are amendments to the
bill to be fought for and early action on
the measure on the part OF the association
is desirable.
The report Of the railroad committee was
adopted and referred to the committee on
proposed legislation.
The association commended Lieutenant
John c. DAILY OF the ninth police precinct
for the fine showing made by the members
Of his command at the recent annual drill
and parade.
