' Totally Iiuuleqiiiite and "Wholly Un- Mit factory .for Furninhlns Ildilwny Facilitien. Chaiiman McSlUlan has a letter from Mr. Donald McPlier.on in regard to tin; proposed oMonhlon or the Metropolitan street car line from the Boundary ' Out Columbia road i Eighteenth street. He is the rust to object to the project as set out in the bill, and liN objection is that not nearly enough improvement is pro Mded for. He :Hys: I wrote for the purpose of showing th.it it is totally inadequate and wholly un satisfactory for furnishing railway fa cilities Tor a very large community and territory, and which should be included in this bill and at this time unninifllon ably. The bill, far as it goes if Merid ian Hill is to le disregarded and neglected may be all right in furnishing facilltes for ""Washington Heights Hut the charter should be much more extensive. "Beginning at the road's intersection at Columbia road or Connecticut avenue with' riorida avenue the line should go due north ward on Columbia road to Eighteenth street to be extended as shown by the new map of the Commissioners; thence due northward on Eighteenth street to noward avenue In Mount Pleasant, and thence in the di rection and to the extent that may be agreed upon by the Commissioners, pro vided it i- deemed aliable to go beyond Howard avenue at this time, to terminal facilities. "ThN extension is decidedly important in furnishing proper and needed facilities to all Lanier Heights, a 1 arge part or Met id ian Hill, the "Walbridge subdivision or Ingl -side, Brown's subdivision of Ingleside and Mount Pleasant; and also the Denison and Leighton subdivision of-Eslire. This will cover properly t,he -whole locality be tween the Park and Fourteenth street not adequately supplied by the Fourteenth street line without encroaching on Its Tair or legitimate domain. "Second, This extension would give direct and easy access to the Zoological Park at Kcncsaw avenue intersection for all the patrons of the whole Metropolitan linos one "or the great arguments for an extended charter. The distance of said intersection or Eighteenth street with Ken csaw aenue from the park is only about 1100 feet. Tins would be as accessible as any railroad entrance can be made without a disagreeable and expensive loop. Tor tho present it would answer every pur pose. "All persoiis go by Connecticut ave nue afoot, of course, on leaving tlie car. Heretofore no railway fhaiter has been been consideied extending 110rthwnnr-th.it failed to reach the park and Mount rie.is ant. "The whole right of way excepn 350 or .T75 feet is already opened, or will be dedicated, and to obtain so valuable a charter of about a mile and a, halt ought to require tlie company to condemn so .small an ajnouiit. otherwise, the clamor urging the 6ale of such j all way stocks becomes invalid. "Besides tills requirement wllU contrib ute to the carrying out of the plan of street extension. This street should be projected regardless of the condition or fate of tlie street extension law. It needs to go through in order to open up direct and impoitant north und south communication to all northern territory. "" "If proper facilities for this locality were furnished as valuable an extension and extensiveimprovements would be made here as in Columbia or Washington Ileiglits. A railway charter in Eighteenth sireet ex tended to Mount Pleasantshould be granted to the Metropolitan or the Traction Com pany. One should be required to extend at once." ,-, Remains. Sent to Philadelphia. The remains of "William Hawkins, col ored, who came here last week from Philadelrfliia and died of blood poisoning at tlie Emergency Hospital on Saturday, have been sent to that city for burial.
