WASHINGTON TIMES BUREAU,
ANACOSTIA, ID, c., MARCH &c

Suit is about to be filed before the
Interstate Commerce Commission on
behalf of the Anacostia Citizens As
ISOLATION by Frank S. Bright, its at
torney, charging the steam railroads
entering the District, the three express
companies, engaged in business in the
city, and a baggage transfer company
with discrimination in failing to make
deliveries OF freight, express. and bag
gage TO Anacostia householders.
The plan of action was determined
upon by the executive committee of
the association at a meeting held last
night in the residence of Charles r.
Burr, the president, 1417 Valley place.
In long bill of particulars, formu-
lated by Albert L. Beck, secretary of
the association, It is set forth that the
discrimination charged by the citizens
of Anacostia against >the companies Is
held to be in violation of the act to
regulate commerce. The bill explains
that the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company maintains a freight station in
Anacostia. where 1t lands all freghts
intended for residents of the town, who
are put TO expense and annoyance to
have 1t hauled away. while the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company deposits
freight in its station in Four-and-a-
half street southwest, where II has to
be called for as we'll. The bill con-
tends that these companies maintain a
door delivery in Washington. and that
a similar delivery should be provided
for in this section.
In the cases of trunks and small bag
gage, It Is stated under no conditions
will the transfer company that hauls
such articles in Washington send for
or deliver them to AnaCOStia,
Attorney Bright, Secretary Beck, and
President Burr told the members that
informal appeal to the railroads had
brought forth only objections. Mr..
Burr pointed out that the baggage COM
pany will go a much greater distance

from the Union Station into the
farthest sections of Northwest Wash
ington to do business, but refuses to
visit Anacostia, which is only rela-
lively short distance from the COM
panys headquarters
The executive committee discussed the
several plans that have been preached
concerning the assessment of property
owners for the Improvement of the
Anacostia flats, and strong sentiment
was developed that the citizens of
Anacostia should oppose any bill that
seeks to place all the burden OF the
proposed Improvement upon them in the
form OF taxation.
The contractors who are at work
with dredges in the Anacostia river ex-
tending the Chicago street seweg have
been asked to endeavor to get their
Norii finished by the early part OF May.
There nre many piles to sink, AMI the
reason they have been requested to
hurry the work Is that It is intended 70
start the pumping Of material at this
point in retaining the Anacostia flats
by July.
