Its cars are old, small; ah'd inconvenient, and its general equipment Senator JIicnwAS. is poor. A. road handling the kind of trafflc that supports this" company should be pro vldecT'wIth cars!)! the' latest and' most ap proved pattern, which should at "all limes be kept fresh and clean. Congress should make, as n" condition of any further legislation in behalf of this company, the condition that the equipment shall be changed at the earliest possible moment. " Again, the" road Is in a condi'ion financially to place upon all t8" lined nsystem of rapid transit, and should be required to do so. On the Ninth street Tine a cable is practicable. Oh the oast and west lines I believe it if the testimony of experts that the curves are too many to allow tho successful operation of the cable, but'an underground" electrical "system probably could be successfully operated. I ay probably, because there is as yet in this country" no underground system for electri cally propelling horse-cars that has been sub-'A.-ted to" the"" lest "of a long" 'dlstancdand a heavy trafjlc. I beliovo that the company should have the power given to It to make such a test of tEe S'lnlh street lines, where tho conditions are highly favorable to success, and if tho new system shall meet the require ments wTflf any degre'e"qf"satlsjaclidn to'the (icoplo tfio" east and wesyiinesshduldat once be equipped with such a system. The remaining question with regard to the road is as to lhe payment of a cerf aln judg ment for cost o$ paving. This question should be settled as 'speedily as possible, in order thai the" road may hd placed bn a solid financial basis, so thatf "the money needed for tho rapid transit improvements may be ob tained. Until tho question is settled "there will always Ije a'n element "of more of Iess'un certalnty in the value of tbo com'pahy's"prop crty. I would prefer to see Congress fli the amount wliieli'thO company shall pay' rather lnan"leavehe inatfer to tlie'courts. Whose jurisdiction at the" present time is doubtful Cud whose findings are" problematical. Tending tlie'settlemenf "of "tho Metropolitan railroad niatters It" would'seem to ine that no further cxtensforis. of horse-car lfncs'Tn tlie city of Washington shjuld be allowed. If the Metropolitan company shall be able to solvo the problem of obtaining a practicable and moderately expensive system of underground. electrjeal motive power, all the other street railroads In the city q Washington should bo compelled to adopt such a system at the earliest possib'o "moment.
