THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON. D.c.. WEDNESDAY, et THE RAILROAD PROBLEM. =? A PLAN £0 SOLVING IT. A Report Made to the Citizens’ Repre- sentative Committee, ‘TWO ROUTES SUGGESTED FOR BRINGING THE BR. & 0. 3. & P. ROADS TOGETHER—nOW IT Is PRO- POSED TO RELIEVE SOUTH WASHINGTON STREETS— THE LOCATION OF TOE UNION DEPOT AND FREIGHT DEPOTS—PROCKEDINGS OF THE COMMITTER (OF ONE HUNDKED Last EVENING. ‘The Citizers’ Representative Committee met last evening at Grand Army Hail, the president, Mr. Fendail, in the chair. The report of tue commit. tee on barbors and wharves made at the last mect- ing, and printed in Tae Star, was taken up, and the committre was instructed to prepare resolu- ons embracing the recommendations of the re- port. The report of the committee on roadsand bridges was next taken up for action. Mr. Jno. T. Mitenell sali that 1a dehalf of the citizens of Georgetown he ovjected toa portion of the report. ‘This evoked some discussion, members of the committee end others maintaining that the pur- pose was to protest against the action of the Government requiring the District to pay half the cost of the bridge, contrary to the general prac. tice, while rot denying that the bridge was ot some benefit to the District. Mr. Mitcbell’s mo- on was lost by a vote of 27 to 4. The paragraph in the report stating that “it is a weil estabushed fact that notwithstanding the large amounis ex- pended on the roads since July 1, 1878, they are in ho better condition now thaa then” also brougnt forth objections from mebers, who thougat .4e statement not justified, and fnaliy it was decided to postpone further consideration of the report ua- Ui the next meeting. THE MANAGEMENT OF PUBLIC SCHOOLS. Dr. Rey burn, the chairman of the committee on schools, then submitted a report, which was read ‘and ordered to be printed for consideration at the ext meoting. The report which Tax Si ‘Will prin® in fuil to-morrow, gives a resu Public s¢"00l legislation in’ the District from the earliest years, suowing that Congress had always ‘vested the pewer of controlling tue schools in a Doard of trustees, and takes issue On legal grounds and grounds of policy with the action of tue Com- missioners in assuming to theiserves tie chief PoWersof the school trustees. The report cou- | ‘eiudes: That the exclusive executive control of ‘our schools, and ot (he instrumentailties incid to the conduct thereof, should be lodged in of trustees drawn fou) the pody of the people, and that such bourd should be suffictentiy numerous to insure such detailed performance ot tnszectlua and other duties as wili practically and not \weo- Tetically cover the entire District. Any supervis- Ang authority to be exercised by the District Com- missioners should be through their power of ap- polntment and removai of the several trustees; ‘ANd $0 as not to disturb the general <ystem of mon- eyed accountability provided by Congress tor the District, the custody and moneys should be left in tueir exciusive control. But the executive inanagement of the scuools Should be d.sesociaied from political authority and lis Recessarliy compromising Lncideuts, and be entrusted to the people, who share the expenses thereof with the General Government, and whose ehiiaren are to be educated therein. A bill to be Introduced tu Congress accompanies the report, and With some silat miluor chan.es is the suimé Dill that was Defore Congress at thy last session. Mr. C. B.

VARIOUS PLANS PROPOSED. ‘Your committee hus very carefully considered a number of propositions bearing upon such change, among them these (a.) The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Co., tht ts olfictals, has exprsssed to your committee its desire to make such change by bringing its Wash- ington and Metropolitan ‘branches together at a point north of the boundary of the city in such a Tanner that the two lines WIll enter the city a Ohe route on 2d street, DeLween M and I succus northeast, and from that point follow southerly the line of 2d street east, mostly in tunnel, to the intersection of 2d street'and North Carolina ave. nue southeast; thence westwardly to the proposed union rallroad passenger depot, on Reservation 17. By this plan only two str ets’ in the northeast section of the city they say need be crossed at grade: viz., F and G streets northeast—the tracks ssing intoa tunnel al E street northeast and em from it at North Carolina avenue south- east. The profile plan herewith shows the street grade on 2d street east, from Boundary to K street south, together with the railroad grade involved in tats tion. ds) The Baltimore and Ohio Company seemingly suggested to your committee as an alternative proposition @ iine through 3d street east which taat company might adops, having almost pre- cusly the sam ‘to ‘treet grades as other ition (a).

THE ALEXANDRIA AND WASHINGTON. Grants to the Alexandria and Washington Rall- road Company—This company was incorporated under an act of the legislature of Virginia, passed 1854, By the third section of the act provided “inat the said Li not permit the sald road to pass elusive jon of any corporation hout Ube limits of the Commonwealth of Vir By the act of Congress of March 3, 1863 (12th Stuis,, p. 805), this company was authorized to lay Single track up Maryland avenue to the Capitol | rounds; thence weross Pennsylvania avenue along ist street and Indiana avenue, and thence to the Baitimore and Onto depot, on New Jersey avenue and C street nortawest. It was to be subject to such resirictions in regard to the use and construc- ness centers, a tedious and dificult undertaking. Your committee fs clearly of the opinion that no one of the several enabling acts autuorizes the use ofa street or avenue asa freight yard or for the storage of cars and other property. A grant to construct and operate a ratiroad froin ‘one city to another, and upon of through a given strert, does not confer such aright. ‘The language employed in making the grants adults the existence of the “streot,” and this carries on its face its own Te- striction; and the act, by its terms, limits the use that may be made of the grant. By the grant the use fs litnited to the business of travel and. trans- portation, on the same prineiple that one, having .e right of Way over a public or private road, may ot for that reason make {this workshop or place of amusement, or devote it to purposes other than vel, to the detriment or detention of others hav- g occasion to use It. Upon this principle an un- ditional right to lay tracks given to a railroad confers no Ticiit to use the street as a freigat yard or piace for storage. It gives no authority or It- cense to abuse that right by a misuse of the street, to the destruction of the ordinary and usual uses of sitch street as a channel ior intercommunication, and general business purposes, In these views your coinmittee 1s sustained by the decisions of the Supreme Court of the District. The first case brousht Lo the attention of the court, in later Years, Was that of Mr, Knight, who lived ’on the south’ side of Maryland avenue, be- { tween 11th and 12th sireets southwest, After a caretul hearing, the Court in General Term passed an order perpetually enjoining the Baltimore and Potomse Railroad Company from ustag Maryland avenue, between 11th and 12h streets, for “load- | 1ogand unloading freight cars, or for’ other pur- | poses, as a depot yard or freight yard.” ‘The'company thereupon moved one square far- ther we t “and continued to use the avenue be- tween 12th and 13ih streets asa treight yard.

Your committee, deeming 1t unnecessary in this connection to discuss questions of wrongrul in tent, has confined its inquiries to the su.

No mentibn isinade in any operative act of Congress about the right of this company to estabilsh its depots tn this ety.

By that company It was, fora ume, teased to the Oranze raliroad, which perated the road for Six months, or a lite more, as uadle in this lease of square 280, altuough 1 Was, and is Still, used by the railroad Company as a sort of squatter possesston, Tue lease, not proving satstactory, was an- hulled, and ‘the road and {ts franchis!s were re- stored’ to the Alexandria and Washington Com- pany.
