NEW ELECTRIC ROAD
BIDS SOLICITED BoR GRADING
PORTION OF ROUTE.
The Change Required in Aqueduct
Bridge-Extension Of Line to
New Union Depot.

Bids have been solicited for the grading
of a portion, of the roadway Of the pro-
posed electric railroad from the Aqueduct
bridge to Great Falls. At the same time
the work OF changing the Aqueduct bridge
so as to provide room for laying car tracks
is to be begun under the direction of the
District Commissioners, but with money
provided by the company. It Is likely that
both phases Of the new enterprise will be
well under way in the course Of a few
weeks.
The general understanding Is that there
is no lack Of money. Senator Elkins of
West Virginia and John r. Mclean of this
city, who are said to hold the control of
the company. are generally credited with
backing the undertaking financially. 1t is
also understood that the bill which the Dis
trict Commissioners some months ago. in
accordance with law, were notified would
be introduced in Congress to give author
ity to continue the new line across the city
to the proposed union depot is to be pressed
at the coming regular session of Congress.
1t is expected that both Of the two COM
panies now operating the street railroads of
the District will have legislation pending
before Congress on account Of the changes
which are desired in the present routes be-
cause of the location of the union depot
Naturally they will oppose the entrance of
a third company into the field which they
now occupy, and it Is concluded that the
chances of a contest Of a lively character
are promising.
Future Of the New Company.
The phase Of the situation which is just
now claiming attention is the extent to
which the new company will be able to
become factor in local street railway af-
fairs.
1t also opens up an attractive range of
speculative thought as to what will be the
outcome If the new company should be able
to gain a footing here. Among the posi-
bil1ties Is, of course, consolidation of one
kind or another, perhaps a combine of the
two systems with the Elkins-McLean in
f1uence in the ascendancy There are all
sorts of speculations INDUCED in which
mainly arise from the belief that Messrs.
Elkins and Mclean have not gone into the
new company merely for the purpose of
building a road to Great Falls. The theory
held by some that the purpose was to Secure
for steam railroad an entrance into George
town is no longer generally entertained.
Now the opinion is advanced that the local
street railroad situation and it's possibilities
is the mark which is attracting the aim of
these men who are used to the handling of
large enterprises.
