B. AND o. DECLINES.
Objects to Construction of Bridge at
Its Own Expense.

The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad COM
pany, In letter written to the Commits
sioners by Mr. George E. Hamilton Its
division counsel, has practically refused to
carry out the stipulations Of one OF the
clauses OF an appropriation act of the
Fifty-eighth Congress. which required the
company to build a sixty-four-foot bridge
over the Bunker Hill road crossing. Tho
Commissioners several times notified the
company to build the bridge, but the Off.
Gals answered all the commands in one
brief sentence when Mr.. Hamilton said:
Il am Instructed to say that the position
of the company Is that Congress could not,
under existing contracts. conditions and
eglslation-certainly not until 19l0-compel.
as 1t attempted to do in an appropriations
act, the construction of this bridge by the
company, the cost thereof TO be borne en-.
t!rely by the company"
In the remainder of Mr.. Hamiifon's letter
the other phases OF the Bunker Hill road
crossing are interestingly discussed in the
following language: The company desires
also to call your attention to the fact that
while you call for the construction of a
bridge of slxty-four feet. the width OF
Bunker Hill read at the point indicated is
only thirty-three feet. This road has been
widened TO sixty-three feet, except at tho
intersection thereof with the companys
right of way, over which the District has
not acquired any rights.
In view of pending construction, and
legislation regarding the same, the com.
pany regrets that II this improvement was
desired at Bunker Hill road 1t was not In
Guided in the general scheme of legislation
covered by the acts of 1901 and 1908. II
recognizes the necessity OF some treatment
at this point, and would be very glad to
consider a scheme for the betterment OF
equitably proportional between the com.
pany and the District of Columbia
