DISCUSSES UNION STATION.
Mr.. W. Mosby Williams Views Com
mented Upon by City Solicitor.

The District Commissioners recently re-
ceived, through Senator Mcmillan of the
Senate District committee a letter from Mr..
W. MOsby Williams the subject of the
bill providing for the establishment of a
union railway station. Mr.. Williams asked
that his suggestions of amendments, etc, be
was referred by the municipal authorities
to Mr.. A B. Duvall, the city solicitor, and
he has submitted an opinion in regard to it,
saying:
Mr.. Williams suggests amendments to
section five in two respects. The first
change suggested very materially enlarges
the liability Of the District of Columbia for
damages. The bill provides for damages to
adjacent property resulting from the
changes in the street grades; the amend
ment proposes to add liability for damages
resulting from, incidental to, connected
with the closing of the streets. The sec
ond change suggested in provision author
iZing two or more persons to join in one
action for damages, the cause of action
and the amount of damages claimed by
each to be set forth in the several counts
of the declaration.
In my judgment" says Mr.. Duvall
neither of these changes is desirable. The
first relates to a species of damage that is
mainly speculative. conjectural and remote.
The provision in the present bill upon the
subject of damages appears to be just and
sufficiently liberal. The second would un-
necessarily conpicate the proceedings in
the actions at law authorized by the bill, l
do net see that the proposed amendment
would be of any special advantage to
property owners, but l do see that it would
occasion unnecessary complications and
embarrassment to the public"
