Criticism OF the Commissioners for

The second railway station is contained
in a letter received BY Mr.. mcfarland
today from William B. King. of the Re
publican state executive committee of
Virginia. Mr.. King lives in northern
Virginia, and has a law office in Wash
ington. He uses the train which will
stop at the sUbstatiOn. His letter shows
he has gone into every side of the prop
osition.
In his letter Mr.. King charges the
Commissioners with exceeding their au-
thorlty in approving the site OF the
station. which was Government prop
erty. He requests that Corporation
Counsel Thomas be asked for an opinion
as to the legality Of the Commissioners
action. Mr.. Kings letter follows:
