I therefore offer my substitute calilng on ‘the committee to ascertain all the tacts required by section 22 of the charter to be furnished by the company In addition to that which is specified In the latter Part ehmy revolution about rats, On that sub- ject I find in section 3 of this charter the re- quirement that the railroad shall be con- structed “in the most approved manner adapted for street railways, with rails of the most approved pattern, to be determined by the Secretary of the Interior, laid upon an even Suriace with the pavement of che streets.” am advised, as I staied to the Sen- that there is a better han chose now tn use, and one whieh could be used in such a way as not to ob- struct the streets at all, and that, the rails now in use on at least one of these railroads in the District ot Columbia were laid down without the approval of the Sderetary of the Interior.
