Opposed to the Massachusetts,
Avenue Site.
TIE RESULT MAY Be A DEADLOCK.
Possibility That Entire Pro-
ject Will Fall Through.
Senate Committee strongly in Favor
of This Site and Against the c
Street Project.

1t is limited by gentleman thoroughly
familiar with the union railway station
project that the Pennsylvania and Balti-
more and Ohio Railway people are not
in the least agreeable to the bill pre-
sented by Senator Mcmillan. chairman of
the Senate District Committee and pro-
viding for the station on and north OF
Massachusetts Avenue. 1t is feared by
some that the result of this may be the
failure of the entire project.
1t is said that the railways still wish
TO have the station on c Street, and that
they are likely to make a determined
fight for this site before they give it up.
The railway engineers continue to take
the position that the Massachusetts, Ave
nue. site presents very grave engineering
difficulties, almost insurmountable, and
OF such nature as. in their opinion, to
more than balance any of the advantages
Of this location.
Plans for c street Site.
1t is understood that surveys are still
being made. and plans developed by the
railway people for a C Street station,
hut these, of course. are entirely ten
tative and based simply on the hope
that turn may come in the situation in
their favor. AS far as can be learned.
the Senate District Committee still fayors
the Massachusetts Avenue site strongly.
1t is said by people in close touch with
the situation that the railways would un-
doubtedly be able to defeat any project
that they objected to strenuously, but
that on the other hand the Senate Dis
nnmlh
bill prepared by the railways if it were
not agreeable to the committee. If,
therefore, there is a positive difference
of opinion such as the one suggested, it
is feared by some that the result will be
q deadlock Others say that this is what
the railways really desire, but there is no
very good evidence of this.
