at the Potomac freight yards. located In
Alexandria County. about two miles north
Of the city. These yards are regarded as
the finest gravity yards In the South.
Costing more than $4,000 900. they contain
forty-hve miles OF tracks and have ca
pacity OF 80 900 cars and employ approx
mately 800 persons.
The following Is a list OF the railroads
which diverge here: Southern. Washing
ton-Southern, Pennsylvania, Baltimore
and Ohio. Chesapeake and Ohio, Atlantic
Coast Line, and Seaboard Air Line
In addition. the Washington, Alexandria
and Mount Vernon Railway Company
operates a trolley line between Washing
ton. Alexandria, and Mount Vernon Be
tween Washington and Alexandria it
operates trains every fifteen minutes durX
ing the day, giving splendid service with
it's fine double track. Hundreds Of Alex
andria commuters travel over the line
together with many Washington COM
muters. In addition thousands OF strangers
are within the citys gates almost daily
who, after visiting washington's tomb
come here to see the points OF historic
interest.
The work Of improving the city's streets
and building sewers is being pushed with
considerable vigor. More than one-half
OF the city is already severed, the most
Of this work being accomplished within
the past few years large appropriations
being made annually for the work by the
city council. with a continuance OF the
work now in progress it will be a ques-
ton Of only a few years before the entire
city IS thoroughly severed. This work
has, no doubt, greatly added to the
healthfulness of the city. as, with its
sanitary drainage during the past year,
the city had a total OF but 322 deaths.
Keeping pace with the sewer work Is
the building of good roads and modern
streets, which is closely following the
frst-named work. The old cobble streets,
which Tor many years have proved an
eyesore as well as a drawback TO the
city, are rapidly Disappearing being sup
planted by modern vitrided brick streets
ana handsome macadam roadways, the
bricks being used principally on the
business streets and the macadam thus
far on residential streets. That the street
Improvement work is on the increase is
evident and it is predicted that within
the next few years the city Will have as
fine streets as is to be found in any
city Of its size in the country
With sewers and good streets, progress
is naturally following This is evil

the growth of the city is had from the
new State assessment, only recently COM

tions OF considerably more than million
dollars over the assessment taken five
years ago. A good portion Of this was
from an increase in valuations. and there
