BIG STORAGE BARNS
g. RI, ,r,,,,,o Da
FOR BENNING ROAD
Washington Electric and
A.4 Traction Co. to Build.
STRUCTURES ARE TOO SMALL
New Cars to Be Placed in Service on
r. the Columbia Line $4,000
to Be Spent.

To facilitate the handling of increased
traffic. and also to supply the need for
storage room on the Columbia Railway
branch of it's lines. the Washington
Electric and Traction Company has
planned the expenditure of about S25,-
600 in the enlarging of. and making ex-
tensive improvements to its car barns
at Sixteenth Street and Benning Road
northeast.
The present car barn. 200 feet by 125
feet. is inadequate.
The addition planned is SO feet in
length and 125-feet wide. giving the com
pleted structure total length of $50
feet. This improved barn will satisfy
present needs of the company only, and
! it is thought If the present rate of in
crease continues it will become neces-
ssary for the company TO construct storage
barns further out on the present line.
The company contemplates putting
into service on the Columbia branch
vof its road the large and improved
type of double truck cars to make more
satisfactory the travel TO the Chesa-
peake Beach Railway
The present type in Use is OF the
smaller variety. The new cars re-
ceived are of the double truck variety.
and with winter equipment.
The proposed structure is simply for
storage and is not to be used until
3 winter.
4 The present car barn of the Columbia
Road faces on Benning Road. The
eighty feet addition will be made to the
rear, and To make access easier it is
probable an increased number OF tracks
will be added. The engineering work on
Z. The new structure is being done by the
I w. B. Upton Company, Samuel J. Pres

An effort will be made to have the new
!. addition finished by early summer so
e that it may be put into immediate use
: with the Increase of summer traffic.
