Recommendations That the Commis

The Road-Deela to be Sunk Twelve
Feet Below the Ground,
Tbo District Commissioners have
prepared their report on the steam and
street railway question, and It will bo
submitted to the special commttlco of
the Senate when tho members of tho
commltteo arrive In the city, which will
be In a day or two.
Tho report Is an exhaustive one, and
based on careful coDsIderatlou of all tho
fiuislIoc-stnYoUed. Tho Commissioners
slate that In coming to their Dual do
termination In tho mitter they took
Into consideration tlio desirability of
removing as far ns possible tho tracks
from tho streets and avenues, cauallr
log tho facilities of both tho 11. an 1 V,
and tho II and O. roads and the con
enlcncc of the traellng public,
CIIAMIIMl Tim II M) n
They recommend tho greatest thango

continuing to conjunction with that
road, upon such Hues as shall bo
determined.
Tho Kleenth street tuanel would bo
about one and a-half miles In length.
Thev say that ample opportunity Is
offered for tho construction of freight
nnd passenger stations just outside of
Ilotindary upon the grounds lying cist
ward of tho Columbia Institution, and
the removal of the present 11. and O.
tracks from Delaware avenue, Tlrst
nnd I streets, would admit of the lay
ing out of an extension of L-ouMana
acuue, from the Intersection of North
Capitol street and Massachusetts ave

Mcnrns made a pretty argument in favor
of the percentage plan, but tho delegates
say that John I. Hogcrs completely
