EXTENSION OF RAILWAY.
Commissioners Report to Congress on
Capital Traction Bill.

Inc District Commissioners have for
warded report to Congress on House bill
1926, requiring the Capital Traction Com
pany to extend its lines by underground
electric system east on Florida avenue from
7th street west. The Commissioners recon-
this time, saying:
The bill proposes to revive provision
in the charter of the Rock Greek Railway
Company-a constituent company of the
Capital Traction Company-to extend it's
line on Florida avenue east to North Capt.
tol street. which expired by limita ton be-
fore the Rock Creek Railway Company be-
came a part of the Capital Traction Com
pany, and to further require the latter COM
pany to extend its line Florida avenue,
18th street east to Lincoln Park, to 18th
street to and on North Carolina avenue to
9th street east, and on Sth street east to
pennsylvania avenue, to connect with it's
present tracks at that point.
Inc president of the Capital Traction
company has stated that his company has
no desire or intention to extend it's route as
proposed in the bill 1t would also appear
from the Enclosed map that the proposed
extension would occupy territory now
served by the Washington Traction and
=! Eiectrlc company, and it would seem that
II further facilities needed it would be
better policy to have that company pro-
vide them.
Ihere has been considerable opposition
NPiSoSSu " TIE location part OF this
line, particularly on North Carolina avenue
ana Sth street east by citizens living on
these streets. On Sth street the proposed
extension would pass two public school
pulidlngs and one private school. The SUI
perlntendent of public schools has informed
the commissioners that in the opinion of
the board of education the construction of
a railroad on this street would seriously
menace the safety of the pupils, and that
several years ago street railway tracks
We're removed from in front of another
school building on account of the danger to
the pupils.
The great Importance of having street
railway line located to the best advantage
OF the public and the people living along
us route makes it desirable that considera-
PIE study be given to the matter, more than
i is possible for the Commissioners to give
TINS Dill In the time available, and they
would, therefore. recommend that the ex-
tension De not made at this time. and that
the present bill receive an unfayorable re-
port"

STREETS IN SUBDIVISIONS
commissioners Make Report on Senate
Bill 4515.

Inc District Commissioners have reported
TO Chairman Mcmillan on Senate bill 4515,
Tor the Encouragement of streets in certain
SUBDIVISIONS. They call attention to the fact
that one of the building regulations of the
District requires that land shall be subdi-
Vided so that there shall be a separate lot
Tor each house, which subdivision must be
MADE prior to the issue of a permit for the
erection of the building. A clause in the
highway act requires that no subdivision
shall be allowed for record unless made in
conformity with the permanent system of
highway plans. These provisions are in
conflict and occasion considerable trouble
to persons wishing TO build within the lines
of proposed streets. In addition to this, the
highway act expressly allows man to
bulld within the line of proposed street
until condemnation proceedings are begun
looking to the opening of a highway Con-
unuing. the Commissioners say:
FolloWing ruling of the city solicitor
it is now necessary to grant permits for
building in proposed streets without the
usual requirements to subdivision. 1t
is believed that the regulation for subdivi-
sion is proper one, as 1t greatly facilitates
the record of the property for purposes of
assessment and taxation.
For the foregoing reasons it is believed
that legislation should be provided under
which the highway plans will be preserved
and at the same time will permit subdivi-
SioliS sucl dS are PROVIDED LOT III the Dill
under consideration. The bill as drawn is
Objectionable in that it cancels a portion of
the highway plans, is local in character and
does not place all of the four sections of
the highway plans on the same footing. An
amendment is submitted herewith which it
it believed will accomplish these objects,
and thus amended the Commissioners
recommend that favorable action be taken
on the bill.
THE amendment is to strike out lines 3
to s, inclusive, and in lieu thereof insert
the following:
That where any proposed street Of the
permanent system of highways affects any
lot or block of a subdivision recorded in the
office of the surveyor of the District of Co.
lumbia, the Commissioners of the District
of Columbia may, in their discretion, allow
the resubdivision until such time con-
domination proceedings are begun for the
opening of the proposed street affecting the
land to be subdiVided.' "
