TO RUN A LINE OF BUSES
FOR TRANSPORTATION OF PAS
sENGERs TO UNION STATION.
Temporary Plan Adopted by the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company.

| The problem Of transporting the outgoing
and incoming passengers to and from the
| new union railroad station temporarily
! until Congress grants permission to the
street railway companies to extend their
tracks has been solved by the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad Company, 1t Is said. II
| is proposed by the company to install a
| line of two large four horse omnibuses to
run between the station and the corner
OF Delaware avenue and c street north
| east, where the passengers can transfer to
| three lines of cars-the Capital Traction
and the Washington Railway and Electric
cars, street and 18th and D street
northeast lines, the latter running also to
18th and G streets. No fare will be
charged travellers for their ride on the
buses, and 1t was said today that each
of the vehicles Will have a capacity for
thirtysix persons.
The omnibus system will be continued
until the street railway lines lay their
tracks and have their cars in operation to
the station.
1t was learned that the B. G. O. COM
pany did not relish the idea of having to
move into the union station In advance of
its rival company the Pennsylvania. be-
cause of the advantage it would give the
latter in the matter of the Baltimore and
nearby traffic. The officers of the 3. and

the announcement that the Pennsylvania
company will move into the new station
two weeks from tonight
Time Limit for Work.
The explanation was made that the B.
and o. was compelled to move earlier than
the other line because the contractors for
the station work and that of it's ap-
proaches have a time limit in which to
complete their operations and that in
order to avoid being penalized they will
have to begin the work of tearing down
the old B. and o. depot as soon as it Is
vacated in order that the low ground 1t
occupies can be filled, in the process of
grading the plaza approach to the sta
tion.
1t was also explained that the delay of
the Pennsylvania railroad in getting into
the union station at the same time with
the B. and o. was due to necessity of
filing "nll'' on the line near Magruder
station. 1t Is the expectation that this
work will be completed in time to allow
the occupancy of the union station by the
Pennsylvania in two weeks.
There has been comment concerning the
fact that the B. and O. company Is go
ing to move its o.d furniture from the
present quarters into the new structure.
But officials Of the company explain that
the furniture is only about one year old,
and is, therefore, in good condition.
