Talk With Clerk Moore of the
Senate Committee.
SENATOR MCMILLAN'S VIEWS
Immediate Action to Increosje tho
Water supply Is F.ivored r.eslla
tlon to Aluke I'osslble Desired
Street KxtenslotiH Step for u II.
&. O. Terminal Approved.
AUlLugli Senator McMillan, chairman of
the Senate Committee on the District of
Cohnnblit, has been absent from the city
during much of the summer, he has kept in
tiuic'i with what lias been going on and
has btn fully advised as to the necessities'
of the Dl-trlct and the questions that will
at once arl-e upon the reassembling of
Congress. Mr. Ct.irles Moore, clerk of the
committee, returned from Michigan last
night, where he had a long talk with the
Senator about District affairs.
"The Senator," said Mr. -Moore, "will
return to Washington about tlu 1st of
December. Although he lias been very
bus- vvit'i his own business affairs, he
his Irfsi-i: able to keep himself Informed
al-out the District. He is highly pleased
with tlieprogressreadebj the Commissi Jr.ers
In the natter of I he Baltimore and Ohio
terminal, and hopes that they will keep
at work until some definite result has
lie-n accimpiislied. This Dalllmore and
Ohio question has long been one of ixiii
siderable vexation to the comnitlee, ami
while there is no very strong faith, a;i
pareniiy. that the matter may le disposed
of at this session, an enctgetlc effort In
that direct Ion will lie made."
Mr. Mi-oru says that Senator McMillan
spoke with much pleasure aliout the fact
that the Board ol Trade and the Commis
sioners were working In thorough ham ony
on the various plans of legislation thought
lo be necessary for the welfare of the
District, and the Senator promises his
hearty co-operation and assistance in o
far !s the concurrence of Congress may
lie required U? carry out the plans that have
been suggested.
There was one matter touched upon In
the annual report of President Wrodvwird,
or the Hoard of Trade, that contained what
was doubtless an unintentional reflection,
in dealing tvith the subject of street ex
tensions Mr. Woodward observed that
the city was very desirous of having such
street cxtenisonli'gi slat ion .is would extend
the srcet". The unintentional reflection
Is not cpon Cougiess, which passed the
law, but upon the attorney of the Bsird
of Trade who drew up the law. This Stat
utc. which has been the cause of bitter
snuggles in the courts, was prepared by
Judga WutMneton, who was retained by
the Boird c.C Trade for that purpose. All
legislation on this subject originated with
the itlzens of Washington and the matter
was largel engineered by the Hoard of
tnli whole subject the Senator thinks
Moore said if there had been a failure
of the Kw it, was not the fault of Congress
which had enacted it, but of those who
had prepared Its text and advocated lis
passage es desired by the citizens ol Wash
ington It was impossible, Senator Mc
Millan has said, to foresee the objections
lliat had been raised by the courts. If It
was found ne-esarv to enact additional
legislation to make the statute more ef
fective Senator McMi'Iuu has said that
lie would lend hi aid cbeerlully in that
direclon, for he. as well as ever other
member of the Senate was in favor of a
proper street extension.
In this whole subject the Senntor thinks
Congress Is interested as much a. the
people of tht city, and there will U; he
is quite suie. no jarring when the subjeet
again comes before the committees of the
two houses.
One or the matters that ought. Senator
McMillan thinks, to be immediately hi ted
upon, is the water supply of the city
That it Is inadequate cannot be denied.
The Senator helievs that the liest and
most practicable thing to do is to make
the Ldecker tunnel available for the
purpose for whieh it was originally co'i
strucied This can be done for a i: oderite
o'Ulay.
Uy this means the tunnel can be male
usefel and the increase or water, so essen
tial to the city, provided. The Sena'e has
twl"e provided for this work by an aj,p.-i-prkilion,
but it lias been stricken out in
the House. Mr. Grout, of ih- House Com
mittee, opposes this plan, and has rur some
months been pleading the necessity for
more time in which to Investigate the char
acter or the tunnel and the possibility or
Its lieing mpde available The Imperuive
need o speedy action Is hoped, on the Sen
ate side or the building, to be a potent
fector in urging tie. House to agree to the
Senate plan.
