Street COMMITTEE
on GRADE CROSSING
Asopts Resolution Calling for Plans
For Depression ~ Tracks or
Tunnelling.

After hearing from representatives
Of the Richmond, Fredericksburg and
Potomac Railroad, City Attorney Poi
lard. City Engineer Boiling. Commits
sipners Beck and Whfttet and several
members of the committee. the Street
Committee yesterday afternoon adopted
resolution offered by Alderman Pull
Ter and adjourned to November 20 in
special session to consider the Belt
Line grade crossing.
The railroad representatives, Presi-
dent White and Attorney Eppa Hunton.
said they were ready and willing to
meet the city in a cordial manner con-
corning the proposition. and stood pre-
pared to go into conference with rep
resentatives Of the city at any time.
They declared, however. that they
would not agree TO a crossing at grade.
and they stated that a tunnel would
be prohibitive. on account of drainage,
mainly. as well as cost.
Commissions Beck said the Admins
tratfve Board had not fully considered
plans before II concerning the most
acceptable crossing for the streets to
extend beyond Belt Line, although the
city engineer had gone into the matter 70
some extent. regarding both q depress-
ed street and an elevated track.
While there was general feeling that
the two sides at issue might get to-
gether. IL was the impression that the
railroad people would insist upon the
elimination of tunnel fror, the pro-
position.
The Fuller resolution provides ''that
1t 10 the sense Of the committee that
the tracks of the railroad company be
depressed or tunnelled. SO that all
streets may cross at grade OF the
property line following the surface OF
streets as far a. practicable
To this was added a paragraph sug-
gested by City Attorney Pollard that
the railroad company prepare plans
and be ready to report az to willingness
to meet the city. and that the Ad-
ministrative Board be instructed tc
prepare a plan to be submitted the
committee"
The resolution was adopted with Mr.
Sullivan the only dissenter and thu
committee adjourned. to take the mat
ter UP again on the afternoon of No
vember 81. A month was given the
Administrative Board and the engineers
to prepare the proposed plan.
