trict Commissioners TO the measure pro-
viding rights OF way for the street car

have access TO The new Union Station.
Already the Commissioners are con-
sidering what will be the best form for
the bill. At the last session OF Con
gross il was defeated in the Senate Dis
trict Committee, because 1t had attached

street cars will be able to run to the
station. Even under the most favorable
circumstances. IL the bill IS introduced
the first days OF the Congressional ses-
sion. It will not be enacted into law un-
I'll after Christmas.
When the street railway companies
were asked last session how long it
would take them to complete the extern
sions that would lead them to the sta
ton, they estimated that eighteen
months would be required for the JOB.
Since tren, It has been said the work
can be done in twelve months.
