TRACKS TO THE PLAZA.
Subject Again Considered by House
District Committee.

After a tWo-hour session this morning
the House District committee got together
again at $50 o'clock this afternoon to
continue consideration of the Union sta
tion trackage bill and the universal trans
fer proposition. The principal business of
the morning meeting was a statement
from Architect Burnham. who told the
committee that the passing to and fro Of
street cars in front of the station would
not spoil the looks of that imposing struc-
ture. He indicated that in his opinion
it would be rather more of help than a
hindrance so far as the appearance to
the eye of the great railroad terminal was
concerned, intimating that lots OF action
and movement looked all right except in
a cemetery.
Gen. Harries made order talk. de-
scribing the proposed four-track plan and
stating that 1t had been approved by
eminent engineers.
At both meetings there was considera-
BILE discussion of the universal transfer
proposition--that is. the plan of having
universal transfer issued upon the pay
ment Of q five-cent cash fare and at the
same time continuing the sale of ticAets
but no agreement was reached. There
was also a good deal of talk about zen.
Harries proposition. made to the COM
mittee at yesterdays session. that the
local traction companies be permitted to
charge fiat five-cent fare. The dinerence
between the receipts from tickets and
what would have been the receipts of the
Washington Railway and Electric Com
pany last year on five-cent basis amounts
to about $3.50 Gen. Harries promised
for his company that If the five-cent fare
was instituted the Washington Railway
and Electric Company would buy seventy
more cars for town use, and twenty for
use on the suburban lines.
The committee was still in session when
the Stars report closed.
