with Wilson and McAdoo.

A Congressional delegation composed
of six Senators and four Representa-
tives had long conferences yesterday
with President Wilson and Director
General McAdoo to help speed up the
program Of co-ordinating the water
ways and railways.
The general scheme was gone over
and suggestions made by the MEM
bers, each of whom practically repre-
sented a large waterways locality. No
definite plan was evolved. but 1t is
understood that part Of the $500, 900, 900
revolving fund provided in the rail-
roads bill will be utilized in co-ordi-
mating the various water and rail sys-
TENS.
Those in the delegation were Sena-

How Big Is Our Railroad Plant?

Just how big the American railroad
plant really is one may learn from
the following statistics given in the
current issue OF The Scientific
American"
Not many people are aware that
the railroads of the United States
have a total length approximately
equal to those Of Europe and Asia
combined. As a matter Of fact, the
railroad tracks, II strung out in A
continuous line. would be SUFFICIENT to
run a girdle of steel eleven times
around this earth at the Equator.
III we take the average length of a
locomotive as being rs feet, we find
that the 5000 locomotives which are
possessed by all the railroads. il they
were placed end to end, would fill four
railroad tracks each 3S5 miles in
length.
THE freight car statistics give US
some remarkable figures. If the
cars ON all our railroads were placed
end to end, they would stretch con-
tinuously for 5000 miles, which means
that there are sufficient cars in the
United States today. If strung out, to
make complete circle of the earth
along the latitude of Philadelphia.
The amount of freight that is car
ried every year is stupendous The
tonnage last year was 1.SO2, III tons
That is a big total. For a meas
ure. we will take Madison SQUARE,
New York City. which extends SO feet
by 80 feet from building to building.
Assuming that the average contents
for each ton of freight is fifty cubic
feet, we find that on the ba sis Of near
Iy 2'oooOOo,OOo tons Of freight per year
we would have to fill Madison Square
every twelve hours of the year to a
depth or Ns feet."-Scientifc Ameri-
can.

stated that the new wooden addition
to Walter Reed Hospital was an
added danger and that the horses
now used by the fire department
could not make the steep grades of
Brightwood quickly enough to
make it safe for the community.
A committee was appointed to get
the Commissioners "on record" that
they would widen Georgia avenue
from Military road to Walter Reed
Hospital and put down sidewalks. c.
c. Lancaster, who introduced the
resolution, said that although the
Commissioners had promised to have
this work done before any other
was taken care of, that for ten
years citizens of that community had
had such oily" promises from the
Commissioners and nothing had
come of 1t.
The association also decided to offer
the Commissioners their cooperation
in the soldiers parade planned for
May 6, and indorsed higher pay for
government clerks, provided, however,
that the clerks must work eight
hours per day.
The following new members were
added: Charles E. Riordan, W, w.
Klein and Robert L. Haycock.

DISCUSS PLANS FOR
GARBAGE DISPOSAL
District Committee Will Present Bill
for Refuse Destroyal.

Chairman Ben Johnson. of the Dis
trict House Committee, will present
his bill providing for establishment Of
a government-ownedg garbage-disposal
system for this city as soon as prac-
ticable today. Representative Johnson
had planned to introduce the bill be-
fore the close of yesterdays session,
but at the last moment he decided
to wait until today.
Commissioner Louis Brownlow was
present Mt the executive session Of
the House District Committee meet
ing yesterday and aided in choosing
the final wording of the bill. The
other Commissioners and the corpora
ton counsel were also present.
The bill vests the Commissioners
with authority to use their own dis
cretion in disposing OF the Districts
garbage in the event they are un-
able to secure a contract for it's re-
moval, as has been the case in for
mer years.
1t authorizes an appropriation not
exceeding $4,000 and a legislative
condemnation OF the present plant.
Through its terms the Attorney Cen
eral will name a board of appraisers
to value the property to be taken
over.
