CITIZENS ENTER PROTEST.
Five Petitions of Property Owners
Against Railway on M Street.

The Commissioners today received from
former Assistant Secretary of the Navy
Frank w. Hackett, counsel for property
holders on NJ street northwest, five petit
tons signed by property owners and resi-
dents on NJ street protesting against the
use of that thoroughfare by the Old Domln-
ion and Great Falls Railroad Company.
which proposes to lay tracks along NJ
street in extending it's lines into the DIS
trict.
The petitions contain the names of many
hundreds of persons residing on M street
between 18th and Sd streets northwest.
The five protests are headed respectively,
by the following names: A. B. Duvall, as
president of the Methodist Home; Mary
Classify, trustee; Samuel Maddox, Edward
Derrick and Miss Anna E. Davis.
In the petition headed by Miss Davis the
signers represent that their signatures
were obtained to a former petition favor
ing the building of street railroad through
NJ street. "These signatures, the petition
sets forth, were subscribed without a full
knowledge Of what was meant Upon re-
Election and learning all the facts we desire
that our names be withdrawn from that
former petition, and we unite with other
residents of M street in protesting against
the location of the railroad on that street."
This petition confessing to a change of
mind with regard to the laying of tracks
along M street is signed by thirty-fve resi-
dents of the street between 18th and Sd
streets
In addition to these petitions the Com
missioners have recently received num-
Der of letters from private individuals pro-
testing against the operation Of railroad

railroad referred to in the District was
held at the District building, when repre-
sentatives of citizens associations, private
property owners and representatives of the

The desirablity of a cross-town road did
not seem to be questioned, but there was
decided opposition from the residents of NJ
street to the operation of the railroad along
that thoroughfare.
The Commissioners have not taken up the
matter for final disposition as yet, but 1t
is expected that they will do so within
about ten days at most
