sired to participate in the ceremonies in

Streets southwest and Ninth and c

The railroad committee of the South

resented by its chairman, r. Harrison
Johnson, presented a protest tC the
Commissioners today. and a hearing will
undoubtedly be granted.
The railroad company has already Sc
cured the consent of the War Depart
ment to use Reservation I1S. but the
use Of the streets must be granted by
the District.
A Point of Danger.
The citizens point out that at Seventh
Street and Maryland and Virginia Ave
nues two OF the most dangerous street
! crossings In the entire city are located,
with FIVE sets Of tracks. On Reserva-
ton 1I3 there are twelve switches, and
accidents, collisions, and derailing OF
| cars are common occurrences
On Ninth Street there are already four
sets of tracks. and two more grade
crossings are proposed. The plans show
that il will be necessary to cross the
sidewalks with the tracks. according to
the citizens. placing the rails almost in
the front doors OF houses on Maryland
Avenue east of Ninth Street
The freight station Of the PcrnSyl-
Yania Railroad near Ninth Street and
