President Roberts, of the Pennsyivania Central, was first heard. At the he gave a history of the Baltimore and Potomac road, He said it Was commenced in 1871 and finished in 1873, The Pennsyivania was denied by the then existing route roug! Andit was deterinfucd to bald e nets socieergen Washington. The citizens of W: n prom. ised to give $300,000 toward the new road. ‘That romiee ras not kept, but. in lew of it the site of he passenger di hen a pond, was given, Fallroad company thoug .t it had a good title; pers aps it had wou.” Mang inducements were offered to build a new road to Washington. The cost of the Baltimore and Potomac read up to the resent has been about $11,000,000. The road irom Balthnore here and a short lige to Popes Creek had cost that. The building of the Pope's Creek line was inaisted upon, but it is valueless, and would be given away. The only payil erty from the {nvestment is the ine between Bale timore and Washington, The money was raised by the Peunsylvania and Northern Central Rail- roads. For nine years the road Gid not pay any interest. Up to the present it has never the interest on its income bonds or any dividend. The property south of the Long bridge has never paid more than running expenses, ‘The pro] of the Long bridg® had not pala anybody but the lawyers. ‘hey nad reaped a harvest out of it. WANTS THINGS 70 Stat AS THRY akB. ‘Mr. Roberts then gave the earnings of the Balti- more and Potomac to show that the only people who had ever received any benefit from the invest- ment is the traveling pubilc. It had fot paid the investors, At the present Ume the road Is just be- lay to Dey ittie return on the investment. it has now a Goudie track, and 16 well equipped. That has been doue at enormous expense, and if let alone the property will probably yield all return to those wi fad riskea their Capital ‘The bridge had ve cost of te Long. reat, and the denents hid gone to otuers thag Ghose’ wh paid for it, ‘The company had to put it in Tepult, and keep it open as a public highWay. If Jet_aioue the property will pay; Mf the changes asked for are made it would throw the property into bankruptcy, and must, if maintained, be kept Up at the expense or the shareholder OBJECTIONS “TO SINKING THR TRACKS IN SOUTH ‘WASHINGTON. ‘Mr. Roberts spread out a large map, which he had prepared to show the effect of the Commis- sioners’ recommendations. He explained by the map that the schene to sink the raliroad tracks of | tue Baltimore and Potowae in South Washington | Would ve nearly impracticuble. He sid the prev- ent tracks of the road are now about 2 feet velow the highest water tnat has been seen in Washing- ton. To follow the plan of the Commissioners Would require that tne tracks be sunk from 2d street southwest out to the Long bridge trom 2% feet to 13 and 14 feet and ‘the;streets filled to a height averaging trom 2 feet to12ori4. He sald were are bulldings all along these streets, some of them valuable, The changes of grade’ proposed Would cost heavily, Whether borne bythe property owners, raliro Or the Government. At the Long DHdge an along the river the grade of the streets Would be b feet above the Wharf. He sald the plan in most part might be practicable, but the cost would be $0 enormous that no Tallroad would undertake 1, Had such @ condition been orl Inally imposed the B. and P. would have asked’ anotuer route or Would have abandoned the project of building altogether. MR. ROBERTS’ FNUMERATION OF GRIRVANCES. ‘Mr. Roberts went on to explain the investments mage by the company for ground and improve- mente. The railroad has no right of eminent do- main here, and can only purchase property by agreement’ with owners, and in every case when itis learned that the company wants ground the price is ratsed. ‘The company had bought ground for freight purposes, but were hot per- initted to run tracks into the square, It cannot handle its freight business here, except in the streets, and for that it had been fined about fifteen Umes, aud there are about sixty-five suits pending. It is held that the company can only lay tracks on the sireets defined for fis ralis, and must not ex- teud tracks to auy squares, even when the prop- erty belonged to the company. ‘The company Was denied the right to get toits oth property. BETWEEN B—L AND THE IRON WORKS. Senator Chace sald that was a most. extraord!- nary decision. The company was, to use an old saying, “between the devil and the deep sea.” Mr. Riddieberger—That_has been, changed to ‘between ell and the ron works." (La 3 Mr. Roberts, continuing, sald that authority to reach its oWn ground the company ‘Will soou relleve all the streets. It had deterwined to relteve the streets anyhow, but unless permitted to reach its ground sei apart'for treight tue plan must be one that wiil be very inconvenient to the pubile in their shipping business. MR. ROBERTS WANTS HIS PASSENGER DEPOT WHERE IT NOW 13. Mr. Roberts next took up the question of the passenger depot, tusisting that the depot should remain where {t now 1s, The railroad company had believed that 1t had good ttle to the site of the depot. ‘It 1s central, and to change it to the place pothted out by the Commissioners wotlld Inake a difference in tim - between Baltimore and Washington of seven or eight miles; to locate it where the citizens would make a difference of 16 miles, “He meaut in polot of time; that the time constimed in getting from the depots thus located would be equivalent to an Increuse of dis- tance a3 named, He would propose, if the committee Wanted a practical demonstration, that the company be authorized . to build a smnall depot cosiing eight or ten thousand dol- Jars; then stop running passenger trains to the Present depot and run them all into the new and smaller depot. He believed that such a how! would go up from the people in a month &s to show clearly Wuat the public want af to the de. pot. He felt sure of public opinion without guch atest. 48 TO THE TRACES ON SIXTH STREET, it might be better to have them on one side of the street than in the middle. Or the company was willing to take the tracks off 6th street and reach tts r station h the mall. It would Cuclose te tracks with & high. wall oa endl ede ‘and thus ve them and shut them out from publie oeie, He bgp roe that, The com- Pany would ratner me, AS any change costs money; Dut it is willing to do ‘thing Its power to relieve the public, Mr. "Roberts PROTESTED AGAINST A UNION PASSENGER STATION. He said there would be @ constant sonfiies of ‘signals, confusion with two sets of employes, and each road would have to pass ite trains over the tracks of the other. The present Baltimore and Potomac depot is,in faea union station,but under ‘the same set of si;nals, @e, He did not see how the entrance of another railroad with tracks paraliel with the present ones in South We " golug to relieve the people of the annoyances tom complain of. | Another raliroud line cot surely double the annoyances, But ‘not seat any plan convemplated for the Iti- more 8nd Ohio road so that It shall not permit ‘Unat road to use any ef the tracks CFs rty of ‘much \umore and ‘the Baltimore and hia us much right to use Potomac.
