now stop at Fourteenth street, are ex-
street. Then, under plan one, the
Mount Pleasant cars would come east
on H street to Fifteenth street, south
on Fifteenth street to F street and
east on r street. The cars coming
south ON Fourteenth street would fol-
low three routeS-one straight down
to the Bureau of Engraving, one east
on Pennsylvania avenue to Eighth
and F streets northeast and one east
on Pennsylvania avenue to AnacoStia.
Plan Independent Loop.
The Eleventh street line would be
operated independently, terminating
in new loop around Eleventh, z,
Tenth and D streets.
The Chevy Chase Circle line would
come south on Eleventh Cinstead Of
Fourteenth) and terminate In the
Eleventh street loop.
The Georgia avenue service would
continue south on Seventh street, In
stead of on Ninth, as at present.
Other lines would remain practical
ly the same as at present, with the
necessary deviations caused by the
track changes near the Treasury.
Under plan 3, the Chevy Chase
circle line would operate south on
Connecticut avenue and along H
street to Fifteenth street, south on
Fifteenth street to Pennsylvania ave-
nue., and thence east on Pennsylvania
avenue to the new loop at Sixth street
and Pennsylvania avenue.
The Eleventh street line, instead
of terminating 4. ne Eleventh street
loop, would proceed to Anacostia,
turning east on Pennsylvania avenue
at Eleventh street over q new line
of track in Eleventh street from Z
street to Pennsylvania avenue.
Different Plan Proposed.
In plan two there is treatment Of
the tracks near the Treasury radically
different from that in plans one and
three Under this plan the tracks in
H street, which now go only as. far
as Fourteenth street, are extended one
block east to Thirteenth street. and
thence on Thirteenth street two blocks
south to F street, where they hook in
with the presehs F street trackage in
an easterly direction only. In this
plan also the G street tracks, which
now end In a stub near Fifteenth
street, are connected with the Fiji
| teenth street tracks. Then the Ross
lyn cars, coming east, would turn east
on G street from Fifteenth street and
a. Ia1A IJNyaf
etc. The Chevy Chase line, instead
of operating down Eleventh street as
in plan one, would be routed via
Connecticut avenue, Fourteenth street
and Pennsylvania avenue to Seven
teenth street and Pennsylvania
avenue southeast.
Mount Pleasant service would come
east on H street as far as Thirteenth
street, thence south to F street and
east on ? street.

to replace and supplement street car

vide local service between Chevy

South Of Chevy Chase Circle it is to
offer express service, with few stops
