COMMUTERS TAKE EMBRACE
OBJECT TO RAILROAD SUBSTA'
TON ON WATER STREET.
Residents Of Southwest Section Of
City Join in Organised Fight
Against Change.

Citizens of Alexandria and persons re-
siding in other section Of Virginia who
have business in this city which causes
them to make daily or weekly trips, as
we'll as a number of residents in South
west Washington, are up in arms against
the action Of the Commissioners suspend
ing the order requiring the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company to select site be-
tween AZ and 7th streets southwest for
the $50 600 substation for the convenience
Of southern travellers.
The Virginia commuters have organized
and propose to fight the plan Of the rail.
road company to build the station on the
site proposed at 18th and Water streets
southwest. They have enlisted Senator
Martin and Representative Carlin in their
cause and from now on they VIII be ac-
lively engaged to defeat the plan. They
are being aided by citizens living in the
mittec consisting Of Scott Nesbit and Mr..
Richards representing the Virginia COM
m,,ters yesterday afternoon visited Com
missioner West and made known Their
views. They also furnished arguments
why the station should not he placed at
l4th and Water streets. and why 1t
should be erected between AZ and 9TH
streets.
The principal objection to the former
site is lack of street car facilities.
At the proposed site near Az street or
7th street things are different they claim.
There are cars within a short distance
and the site itself is far more preferable
in every respect. The commuters argue
that inasmuch as Congress included the
item providing the station solely for the
benefit of the southern travellers. they
should be the ones to be satisfied and that
their feelings in the matter should be
considered first by the Commissioners In
providing the site.
