few days after the District heads have
put their o. X. on the. specifications.
The change in the location of the sub
station from 14th and Water streets
southwest to 9TH and c streets southwest
was authorized by bilr passed at the
last session of Congress. 1t requires that
the new structure must be completed
within four months after the approval of
the bill by the President. Consequently,
the work will be rushed in the next few
weeks.
The station, with baggage room. ticket

Will be located On the cas-. side of 9TH
street and adjoining the railway tracks
on the north. The train platform will
De between the two center tracks that
run past that point and will be reached
by an underground. passage from the
waiting room. This peculiar construction
is made necessary because the outside
tracks are used for trains which will not
stop at that station.
The filing of the plans for the substa-
.ion duuS another chapter IN the history
of the vast railroad improvements in the
southwest section of the city in the past
few years and recalls the dispute regard
ing the location of the substation. A for
mer act of Congress, which provided for
the substation, among other things prac-
tfcally fixed its location at 18th and Wat
err streets After deciding on that site
the Commissioners desired to change to
a site near the one finally chosen. Mai
j. j. Morrow. then Engineer Commission
er opposed this change, holding that the
commissioners, having once approved of
the l4th street site. could not shift to an
other. The court upheld the view of the
Engineer Commissioner. and the act pass
ed at the last session of Congress re-
suited.
