Most Of the improvement in tle death

among the black race almost equals the

SINGLE-FARE LEGISLATION.
Commissioner West seeks Relief for
Mount Vernon Rond Pnssengers.

Commissioner West has suggested TO
the board Of Commissioners that Congress
be requested to pass some sort of legis-
lation whereby passengers on the Mount
Vernon Railroad VIII be enabled to reach
various sections Of the city without pay
ing more than one fare
Under present conditions the Mount
Vernon Railroad will be the only means
Of communicating with the substation that
VIII be established at the foot of Four
teenth street near the Long bridge 10 ac-
.commodate passengers from neighboring
towns in Virginia who desire 10 reach
the center of the city without going TO
the Union Station
Persons desiring TO reach different de-
partments of the government will have
to walk to or from the terminus of the
railroad or else pay an additional fare.
unless some Congressional legislation is
enacted whereby this condition Of affairs
is remedied.
1t is possible that in the future the
main trolley lines of the city will he
extended TO the substation. The Commits
sicners viii doubtless recommend that
such extension be authorized.
In The meantime, however. Commission
er West is of the opinion that the. lack
of complete facilities can be in some
measure overcome by a single fare propo-
sition.
