Congress was passed abandoning E
street, Thirteenth and Thirteen-and-
a-half streets through this prop
erty. The present plans call for an
archway over Thirteenth street at
Water with second-story offices for
brokers in perishable products. Model
produce warehouse construction would
improve the north side of Water
street with attractive architecture ana
community facilities. The acquisition
of the land and tracks represents an
investment of a million dollars, 1nde-
pendent of the building operations
which are soon to be commenced
The water frontage on Washington
Channel which it is proposed to bulk
head for a farmers market is all
Government owned. the land adjacent
to the railroad bridge at Fourteenth
street having beeh acquired some
years ago for a municipal power sta
ton, but later abandoned. A large
lumber yard occupies the largest
tract in the proposed Waterfront
strip under lease from the District
government, which may be terminated
by act Of Congress.
Convenient Freight Center.
One of the most important argu-
mentS advanced in favor of the per
ishable freight terminal between
Water street, Maryland avenue and
Twelfth street Is that all the produce
brought TO the Potomac freight yards
in Virginia by the Seaboard Air Line,
the Atlantic Coast Line, the CheSa-
peake and Ohio and other roads is
hauled into Washington by the Penn
sylvania and Baltimore and ONO
Railroads. 1t passes right by the pro
posed freight terminal. If this terml-
nal is not used and a wholesale
center is established In lexington.
which is the only other track side
area available, the Baltimore ana
Ohio Railroad would have to haul
this freight around by Benning and
Hyattsville by a circuitous route and
back into the north side of the Capital.
Produce dealers say that the farm
ers market can meet only a fractional
part Of the perishable food require
ments. These shipments from the
South, coming into the Potomac
Freight Yards. demand prompt nan
ding. They say that while the BaItl-
more and Ohio Railroad would have
| to haul the produce to the wholesal lie
! market without extra cost in what
! ever section it may be located, the
icing cost on the refrigerator cars
would be an added expense. besides
the economic waste through deteri-
grafton, which Is rapid after the
break down point is reached. They
/ argue that the extra haul for about
| % miles would delay handling this
produce to the consumer by u hours
! or more.
Report of Col. Brown.
In support of this line of argu-
mentation, Col. Wrisley Brown, presi'
dent Of the Potomac Freights Terml-
nails Co.. has prepared a report for
Mai. Cary II. Brown. L. $. A. eng1.
neer Of the National Capital Park and
planning Commission, based on bul.
letin of the Bureau of Agricultural
Economics Of the Department of Agr1'
culture: a report Of the superintendent
of the Potomac Freight Yard in Vir
! ginia and a report of the freight agent
Of the Pennsylvania Railroad. 1T
reads. in part, as follows:
/ There was a volume of 1884 cars
of perishable freight. exclusive of less
than carlot shipments, unloaded at
the Pennsylvania Railroad Yards in
Evening star., 1926-09-01

Southwest Washington during the
year 1925.
According to the present geo
graphical layout Of the trunk lines
efficient and economic delivery Of per-
ishable freight from the South At
lantic Seaboard can be made only at
the PENNSYLVANIA Railroad Yards In
Southwest Washington.
yet an organized effort Is being
made to swing this whole movement
of perishable freight from the South
Washington terminals to the ter-
minals Of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad by the proposed relocation or
the wholesale market district In
Northeast Washington.
Means camille Haul.
"If this were accomplished it would
mean that over 1000 carlots Of per
ishable freight annually moving
through Potomac Yard and now un-
loaded in Southwest Washington, at
a hauling distance Of about miles
and within two hours after movement
out of Potomac Yard. must needs be
hauled directly past the Water street
terminal at the end of Long Bridge,
through South Washington and across
Eastern Branch to Benning Junction,
thence t" Hyattsville. and back to the
Baltimore and Ohio terminal yards at
Eckington-a distance OF ABOUT 20
miles.
This circuitous routing would In
volve probably an average Of II hours
or more from Potomac Yard. More
over. the long haul would in addition
require approximately 100000 ton
miles of transportation in the course
of a year-with no compensating ad-
vantage to the public or to the ship
pers or to the carriers.
THE establishment Of the whole
sale market district in Northeast
Washington would soon create
highly unsatisfactory traffic condition,
and the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion would have to adjust the relief to
the occasion. This would eventually
bring into being the projected belt
line around the city on the north.
which public opinion has condemned
as a menace to the civic and economic
welfare of Washington"

Condemnation Of Land
The necessary space for such a re-
tail market could be acquired by con
demnation of land carrying inexpen
sive improvements in the same orderly
manner that 1t is proposed to acquire
property in the present wholesale dis
trict for the erection OF new public
buildings and the development OF
parks pursuant to the plan of the
Fine Arts Commission. The location
of q large retail market in the section
adjacent to the water front would en-
able the public to do its general shop
ping and banking in the principa
commercial district without detour on
the way to and from the market.
1t is even more important that the
so-called farmers market should be 10
Gated on or near the water front. The
ample strip Of land on the south side
Of Water street between Fourteenth
street and the Municipal Fish Market
would present an ideal location for
this farmers market. Such location
would be readily accessible to the pub
lie. closely co-ordinated with all the
other market functions. and easily
reached by all the farmers from the
trucking sections of nearby Maryland
and Virginia.
