week
A committee from the North Capitol
and lexington Association appeared be
fore the Commissioners last Wednes-
day morning to demonstrate the need
of having a crossing policeman station
ed at the intersection Of New YORK
avenue and North Capitol street. On
behalf of the association A. r. SerVen
spoke OF the great increase in volume
Of traffic passing the crossing as re-
suit of the establishment OF the Balti-
more and Ohio railroad freight station.
Just one block east OF the intersection
OF the thoroughfares. and Dr. r. ID.
Thomson gave a strong argument 10
the same end by stating that he had
counted ninety-one street cars, 6S' wag-
ons and IL Oe9 pedestrians passing the
corner within two and one-half hours
on Tuesday. Gen. George II. Harries
representing the Washington Railway
ana Electric Company. did not dispute
the need OF a policeman at the cross
inP but he argued that the necessity
did not grow so much out OF an m
crease in st@eet-car traffic as from the
great number OF other vehicles going
through the streets. He submitted a
statement to the effect that there had
been only eighteen accidents al the cor
ner during 1865 and that not one Of
these resulted seriously. or could have
been prevented bysa special offlcer at
the crossing. He declared that IN view
of the large sum which the railroad
is at present paying out for special
crossing policemen II should not be
compelled 20 pay for the services OF this
additional officer.
After consideration OF the matter. the
Commissioners decided not 10 rescind
the order of recent date. which was 10
have a crossing policeman stationed at
the corner at the expense OF the rail-
way company.
