Association.

The directors of the Business Mems AS
ISOLATION unanimously elected Mr.. William
F. GUIDE secretary of that organization 10
succeed Mr.. Barry Buckley, who resigned
because he recently decided to go on the

mously elected Mr.. GUIDE to succeed MIN.
During the time he was secretary Mr.. BULK

MIR. GUIDE has declined the salary and Will
serve without compensation. He was au-
thorized, however, to employ clerk, VINO
will be paid out of the funds of the asso-

James F. Oyster. the new president of the
association, presided. Mr.. Conrad H. Syme

chosen as associate counsel. The following
members of the executive committee were
chosen: Wilton J. Lambert, V. Baldwin

Protect the Motormen.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
If those who are again agitating the
proposition and demanding 3-cent car fare
and unlimited transfers would agttate and
propose vestibuled cars for the protection
of the employees 1T would demonstrate to
all the people they had motives other than
selfish ones or feelings other than hatred
against the monopolies, as our street car
companies are generally classed. A day
like Wednesday arouses heartfelt feelings
and sympathy for the street car employees,
and l for one would rather see the COM
panies increase the mems salary, as they
did a month ago, and otherwise take pre-
cautions to make their lot as happy and
as agreeable as possible, than to reduce the
fare, or in fact give the public more than
they now do. From personal experience, 1
believe we get more for our money from
the street companies of Washington.

PERMIT GRANTED.
Railway Company Authorized to Lay
Temporary Tracks.

Engineer Commissioner Biddle has ap-
proved the application of the Philadelphia
Baltimore and Washington Railroad Com
pany for a permit to lay temporary tracks
on Maryland avenue and across 9th street
southwest and across reservation 199 ac-
cording to the companys modified plan, so
as to permit the company to unload on
reservation No. 113 material to be used in
the construction of government buildings
In Southwest Washington. Colonel Biddle
states that the general public interests de-
mand the issuance of the permit
The Southwest Washington Citizens As
soclatlon ana other objectorS who protested
against permitting the laying of tracks
along Maryland avenue and across 9th
street southwest. will be informed of this
decision of the Commissioners in accord
ance with the following statement of Col
Biddle:
The Commissioners have given careful
consideration to the petition of the cti-
zens, but they find it impracticable for the
rallroad companies to use the space on
Maryland avenue between 18th and 14th
streets, as suggested by the citizens for
unloading the stone for the new govern
ment buildings in contempla ton for the
reasons that the change of grades along
these points, which will be undertaken
early next spring, will interfere with the
use of this land for these purposes to such
an extent as to make it impra ctica ble
The Commissioners have further consid-
cred the request of the petitioners as to the
restricted use of reservation 113. The use
Of this reservation has been granted by the
War Department, exclusively, for the I'M
loading of stone for public buildings. and
will have to be restricted to that use The
plan for the connecting tracks has been
modified since the first permit was request
ed and the railroad companies have taken
steps to minimize the inconvenience at the
9th street crossing. The permit also forbids
the crossing of the sidewalks c street
and arranges to obviate much as pos
sible any drayage along c street. c street.
however, is a public street and the use of
it by wagons of all kinds cannot be pre-
vented.
THE permit further requires that if 1t is
considered necessary by the Commissioners
fence shall be constructed and in general
careful protection shall be afforded the in
terests of the public.
"In view of these conditions the Commits
sionerS believe that the general public in
terestS demand the issuance of this permit
1t must be remembered that the whole line
of the railroad through Southwest Wash
lngton will have to be torn up during the
coming year in order to eliminate the grade
crossings. At 9th street there will be little,
| If any, change of grade, which makes it one
of the few points which can be used for
sidings.

ENTIRELY WITHOUT FUNDS.
Effort Of Authorities for Snow and Ice
Appropriation Fails.


When the snow storm struck Washington
Tuesday night 1t found the District Com
missioners without a single dollar in the
public treasury with which to pay for the
removal of snow and ice from the crossings
and cutters of the national capital It is
stated, however, that the lack of funds was
Commissioners to advise Congress of the
necessity for the appropriation.
Upon the recommendation of Commission
err West letter was transmitted to the
chairmen of the Senate and House commit
tees on appropriations the 18th of last De-
cember, calling attention to the fact that an
appropriation Of $4,000 for this purpose
ought to be Immediately provided. AS no
action was taken by Congress upon the res
Olution, Commissioner West framed a letter
to Chairmen Allison and Hemenway the 9Th
of January which was transmitted by the
Commissioners notifying Congress that the
appropriation was exhausted and that the
condition of the streets demanded imme-
date attention.
Further failure on the part of Congress to
provide the money led Commissioner West
on the 18th of January, when the weather
bureau predicted snow, to ask his colleagues
to again call the attention of Congress to
the fact that there We're no funds available
for the removal of snow and ice from the
streets, crosswalks and cutters, and, acting
upon this recommendation, Chairmen Hem
enway and Allison were informed for the
third time of the necessity for the appro-
priation.
Commissioner West again asked the Com
missoners yesterday to transmit letter to
the committees on appropriations urging the
Importance of providing the necessary funds
for the removal of snow and ice as soon as
the storm abated.
When the storm began Tuesday night
Commissioner West and Superintendent
Stdham talked the matter over, with the
view of improving the conditions as soon as
Congress provided the money. 1t was known
to be impossible, under the ruling of the
Treasury Department. to use the funds pro-
vided for street-sweeping purposes in the
removal of snow and ice.
