SIXTH STREET DEPOT
STATION TO BE ABANDONED &C.
ToBER Is NEXT.

According to Joseph Crawford, general
agent of the Philadelphia, Baltimore and
Washington Railroad Company, the old
railroad station at 9th and B streets, COM
monty known as the 9th street depot, will
be abandoned for railroad purposes on or
about October Is next When that action
is taken all the trains of the Pennsylvan' a
Seaboard Air Line, Southern, Atlantic Coast
Line, Chesapeake and Ohio and Richmond,
Fredericksburg and Potomac railways,
which now run into the depot, will go to
the new union station.
The old station is one of the historical
landmarks of the National capital. When
it was constructed in 1873 1t was regarded
as q great building and was considered one
of the largest and most modern passenger
railway stations in the country. Poss bly,
the chief reason for its distinction a hrs
toric landmark and for which it Is known
the world over is the fact that 1t was the
scene of the shooting OF President Garfield.
The spot where the crime was committed
has been an attraction for visitors to Wash-
ington
Filing of Complaints.
The information regarding the date of
abandonment of the 9Th street depot was
contained in communication from Mr..
crawford to the Commissioners today, re-
garding number of complaints filed with
the Commissioners against the noise of
passenger and freight trains in the south
west section of the city particularly where
they ascend the elev ated tracks in that sec
ton. Joseph B. Bailey Of Alb 9th street
southwest stated that the trains are
nuisance and an injury to his property.
In his reply Mr.. Crawford says that the
situation is about the same as it has been
since last July II, 1906, on which date the
trains were put on the elevated tracks be-
tween AZ and South Capitol streets. He
ADDS it would be impracticable to run the
freight trains via Shepherds route. The
freights are the principal cause for the
complaints, although considerable nose is
made by the passenger trains ascending
the grade OF the elevated tracks. Mr.. Craw-
ford concludes by saying that nothing can
be done to eliminate the noises until the
9th street depot is abandoned.
