improvements on Southern Railway

As heretofore stated, extensive I'M
provements are planned by the Southern
Railway for the improvement OF Its
Washington division. Eighty seven
miles of new track are TO be constructed
between Washington and Orange, and
large number of men have commenced
the preparatory work. The proposed
improvement will cost 81, 700, 900, and a
stipulation has been made to the con-
tractors that the work must be completed
as far as Manassas by July l. The
Southern tracks between Alexandria and
Orange are to be doubled. This move is
necessary because of the congested
freight and passenger traffic. The neces-
sity of double track between Orange,
Alexandria and Washington was i'm
pressed upon the management as within
the past two years its business more than
doubled. Its track facilities north OF
Orange proved so inadequate for de-
mands made upon it that freight was
necessarily sidetracked to put passenger
trains through on time. Even that ar
rangement proved of'little avail, and the
double-track system was decided upon.
Contracts for the first section from
Washington to Manassas have been let,
and work on the improvements began on
Monday. Two thousand men are work
ing in sections between this city and
Manassas. Surveying parties are at work
on other sections of the road. The
wards at this place are to be enlarged,
and Accommodations for more rolling stock
made in the roundhouses here. This
will cost $500, 600 more.

Committee Meeting.

The committee on light met last night
and transacted routine business. A
communication from the Mayor was re-
ceived in which he stated that numer-
Gus complaints are made about the arc
lights in the southern part of the city.
The lights, it is said, after burning a
short while, are extinguished every
night, and the residents of that portion
of the city are naturally indignant with
this state OF affairs. On Saturday night
the lights all over the city were extin-
guished shortly after ten O'Clock and
this occasioned much inquiry and criti-
cism. The clerk was instructed to in
vestigate the matter and report to the
committee.

Condition of Streets.

1t is earnestly hoped that the streets
of the city will be put in much better
condition before the proposed parade on
the 23d inst, as strangers visiting here
would get an extremely bad impression
of Alexandria from the present state OF
affairs. King street is dirty from one
end to the other, and good cleaning
would vastly improve the appearance OF
the new paving. Portions of south
Washington street are in bad con-
dition, the recent rains having con-
verted that roadway into mud puddles in
many places, and there is much COM
plant from persons who have to use the
streets in the southwestern section OF the
CITY.
