MAKES COMPLAINT
ABOUT CROSSINGS
Complaint Lodged With
Commissioners About Loose
Rails at Ninth and @.

Gaps between rails and loose condf-
tons generally at the street railway
crossing at Ninth and G streets. north
west are made the basis of a COM
plant which the District Railway
Commission received today. The com
plainant declares that the consequent
noise is so great that he has been
Obliged TO move his Offices elsewhere.
and that a number OF business houses
are seriously Inconvenience. The
complaint will be investigated by
Secretary Eddy in its proper order.
It reads:
The Complaint
The condition is such as would not
be tolerated in a town Of 1000 or
:. 1000 inhabitants. The noise conse-
quent upon the gaps between the
rails, the broken insets at the noints
of crossing, the worn out rail treads.
and the general loose condition of the
entire structure Of the crossing are
simply intolera bic.
4 have been compelled to vacate TIC
Offices which I occupied in the building
at 200 Ninth street because OF the i'm
possibility Of debating TO a steRogra-
pier. with any reasonable satisfaction.
even when making special effort 70
speak loudly At the rear end of the
building 70 feet In depth, the trouble
IS still serious. An inspection of the
crossing itself by even a Iayman -viH
show that its condition is scandaIous.
This. coupled with the poorly kept cars
with their loose bolts. braces, and TT
tings. begets 2 din that is beyond belief
by one who has not given attention TO
the subject. 1t is impossible to make
cne's self heard or understood in the
stores ana Offices on the four corners.
including the rooms Of the Patent Of
fee building I am advised that the
cars pass the crossing al the rate OF
two per minute; hence the seriousness
OF the trouble must be manifest"
Names Withheld.
The District Electric Railway Com
mission has decided TO withhold in the
future the manner OF those who submit
10 it complaints and suggestions. The
complaint referred to was from a prom
inent attorney. A suggestion received
today was as follows:
The recent heavy rains dem nstrated
most conclusively that the Tagging
should be laid in the parking in Penn
sylvania avenue southeast, where the
cars now stop on the near side. There
is such tagging on the other side, where
the cars formerly stopped This would
eliminate the muddy condition caused
by The bad weather"
