permanent harbor lines Congress was
besought to provide for . suitahle water

permanent harbor lines Congress was
besought to provide for . suitahle water
terminal. Tentative plans. we're drawn,
but the project languished, and to this
day Washington's water froat has never
received any attention proportionate to
the needs of the city.
1t would be most helpful If such . ter
minal were developed in conjunction
with the canal Improvement. But there
is reason to doubt the advisability of q
belt line of railroad to connect that ter
minal with the railroads serving the city.
Washington wants no railroad construc-
tion that invadss the urban area. There
is already a railroad line along the water
edge in Georgetown which would serve
as means of communication in case the
water terminal we're developed. No
track should ever run eastward from
the canal terminal at grade. II tunnels
could be constructed sueh railway con-
nections might be feasible.
Now is the time to work out the
project of suitable water terminal,
with view not merely of framing plans
and letting them accumulate dust in
pigeonholes, but to the end of actual
construction in the near future. Wash
ington is now a big city and will grow
rapidly. 1t will never 60 back to its old
