CARL|N TO COMMISSIONERS
SOUTH WASHINGTON STATION
SITE AGAIN DISCUSSED.
He. Denies That the "Matter Is Up
to Congress" Suggests
Mandamus Proceedings.

Representative Carlin OF Virginia.
whose recent criticism OF the District
Commissioners for their faiiur. to force
the erection. Il suitable site. OF the
South Washington substation provided
for by the Union station act. was replied
10 by Commissioner Macfarland with the
statement that the matter was up to
Congress" replies to the Commissioner.
After referring to the requirements of
the Union station act Mr.. Carlin quotes a
letter from the Commissioners to the
House District committee disappearing of
bill Introduced by Mr.. Carlin requiring
completion of the substation in six
months. Mr. CarIin continues:
IF. as Mr. Ma 'farland says the mat
ter is ~ To Congress. then why did he
say in his letter thai the railroad conf
pany had prosecuted work IN the con-
structton Of II supstation with much
diligence as can be eNpected?' And why
did he say it is possible that this sub
station may be- completed within the time
mentioned in the bill under consideration.
even If the bill should become a law in
the near future?'
It is plain to be seen from the above
statement of facts that the Commission
erS not only had the power to require the
erection of a substatiOn. but that 1t was
their duty to have done so. and there is
no escape from the fact THAT the delay in
the construction Of the Substation is due
to the selection of the government prop
erty at 18th street as the site for the sta
ton.
Let us see how the public will be af-
fected if the station is built on the site
referred to. Every person going TO and
coming from the station. unless he de-
sires TO walk. will have to travel over the
Mount Vernon Railway Company's car
lines. which sends cars only at intervals
of twenty minutes and charges an add-
tonal fare of cents. no transfer being
allowed. while if the eth street site were
selected passengers could be carried TO
and from the station at intervals of from
two to three minutes and transferred to
any part of the city of Washington
IF the Commissioners wish to ties. their
powers let them issue an order directing
the railroad company to- erect station
on the It'll street site upon property owned
by them. and If the railroad company re-
fuses to do so, then mandamus could be
sued out against it. and l have no hest
fancy in saying l believe it would be com
PEELED TO forthwith begin the construction

Mr. Macfarland's Reioinder.

When Commissioner MacfarlanI was
asked today whether he had anything
further to say regarding the substation
he replied:
Our conferences with the Senate COM
mittee on appropriations on the District
budget. which is our most important mat
ter with Congress, absorb our time now
so that cannot prepare an elaborate
statement about the substation question
but it really ought not to be necessary
to do so. for / have already stated tho
facts. which are so simple that there is
really no room for controversy. Con-
gress provided that there should be
substation. naming the locality as north
Of the Long bridge and placed upon the
Commissioners simply the duty of ap-
proving the site. not of directing the con-
STRUGGLING of the suhstation. The sub
station was to be completed on the LIST Of
February. 1905. More than year ago
the Commissioners approved the site in
the locality indicated by Congress- north
Of the Long bridge The site was partly
on the railroad right of way and partly
on unused public land, which might other
wise have been part of an embankment
along the railroad right of way. The
public land required was only 100 square
feet. valued at dollar foot, and the
Commissioners recommended that the
railroad pay the full value of the land
or an equivalent rental simply for the
use of it. the land of course remaining
the property of the United States. The.
!ailroad company begin work on It's por-
ton of the site and prepared part of the
foundation II was at this stage that
the Commissioners reported 10 Congress
that progress had been made. Then the
raj road, on the advice of its counsel not
content with the action of its Commits
sioners. went to Congress for authority to
use the public land required for the other
part OF it's substation.
Now Up to Congress.
Congress now has the whole matter
II can pass Mr.. Carl!n's bill, requiring
the substation to DE built at once. 1t
can give the railroad the use of the site
approved by the Commissioners on the
same terms recommended or any other
terms. II can disapprove that site and
direct that another be provided, and in
some other locality then north of the
Long bridge Ii il desires. 1t is the su-
preme authority, and can today do any
thing that II pleaseS about the matter.
OF course the Commissioners approved
the nth street site because it seemed
to them to meet the viii. oI Congress, as
expressed In the act OF 1863 in q CON
venent place north of the Long bridge
AS to the street railway transportation.
the solution il very simple, as ] nave
already suggested. Congress can author
iZe the local street railway lines to ex-
tend the few blocks to the 14th street
s'lbstation. 1T require transfers
to be given passengers by the Alexandria
and Mount Vernon line TO the other sys-
tens
