For Station South Of the Maui.
Irwin B. Linton of the North Capitol and
EckinEton Citizens Association proposed
a plan whereby the union station would
be placed south OF the mall, at the inter-
section Of Maryland and Virginia avenues.
Mr. Linton had read a communication
printed in The Evening Star under the
name civil Engineer" explaining this
propostion. There was, he said, use
in devoting one-half of the city to railways
when the one-quarter now used by these
roads was sufficient for all purposes, and par
ticularly as this one-quarter was now in
use and was not to be relinquished under
the terms of this bill. Besides, he said, this
plan would save the District and govern
ment great amounts of money.

Sentiment in East Washington.

Sentiment in East Washington.
M. l. Weller of the East Washington
Citizens Association approved the bill. 1t
was the great desire Of the citizens Of East
Washington that grade crossings be done
away with speedily as possible. Mr..
Weller said there were sixty-fve death
traps In the city in the shape Of grade
crossings. which ought to be done away
with. Mr.. Weller also protested against
the South Washington Citizens Associa-
TONS plans for the Water street route.
Evan H. Tucker, president Of the North
east Washington Citizens Association, also
favored the bill and urged its passage as
speedily as possible.
Mr.. Tucker suggested that much more
direct and satisfactory way to arrive at
conclusions regarding the assessment OF
benefits would be through a commission.
This, he said, would prevent much expense
to each individual property owner. and If
the owner was not satisfied with the
award of such commission he could go into
court.
Representative Morrell suggested that %
per cent of the owners would probably
adopt the latter course
Mr.. Tucker also uggested that the pro-
posed new street on the west side of the
station should be made eighty feet wide
instead of forty feet, as now proposed He
also called attention to the necessity of Il
street on the east side of the station to
lead into F street.

road committee of the Northeast Washing
ton Citizens Association. favored the BILL
but thought the amount to be paid by the
District by the terms of the bill was too
great.

was read by Josiah Willard, who stated
that he had been elected spokesman on
this subject for the East End Suburban
Association. The BILL he said, notwith-
standing the Senate amendment on the
subject excluded all other roads from the
District than those now entering it.
If the bill could be submitted to a vote
of the people of the District, Mr. Willard
declared. it would be defeated.
This bill gives nearly $1,000, 600 to these
