One citizen wanted the Washington
Railway and Electric Company to extend
its tracks from their present terminus on
Park road at 18th street down Park
road. thence on down klingle road, across
klingle Ford bridge, with a terminal loop
on the far side of the bridge, to give
closer access to Rock Creek Park and en-
able passengers to alight where the Zoo
and the Rock Creek Park join, instead of
climbing uphill with a quarter of a mile
walk to the present terminus.
The citizen was informed that the com

One complainant declared that the slot
between the rails of the G street line be-

that 1t is dangerous. He says a boy was
given a severe fall recently because the
