One of the horses of herdic No. 87, of the yellow line, fell at 18th and F streets and again at 18th and G streots shortly after 5 o'clock, and at the lat- ter point the horves of No. 84 were stalled and wisely refused to attempt to pull with abso- lutely no foothold. If the herdic company will not or cannot have their horses shod on such days as Christmas day turned out to be they should be compelled to stop running their tues at such times. There is no aecommoda- tion to the public in such service as can be rendered under circumstances like those of Christmas day, but this is a trifling considera- tion compared to the sufferings of the horses, urged by the driver's lash, while struggling in terror to keep their feet under them. ‘PASsExGER.

To tho Editor of The Evening Star: Three somewhat extensive suburban improve- ments, important as to the general interests of the city and to the taxpayers, are now under consideration before the District committees of the Senate and the Honse—the extension of Pennsylvania avenue to the southeast, New York avenue to the northeast and Massachu- etts avenue to the northwes:. ‘The two first are usked not only in behalf of the interests of the immediate sections of the District they would bring into more direct con- nection with the city, but also as creating new avenues for trafic from the outlying country for miles beyond, and each asks for an appro- Priation of some $50,000. ‘There is nothing di‘ticult nor expensive in the way of opening either of these avenues, and they both reach portions of the District upon which nothing {0 speak of has been ex- pended since the government has undertaken to make imaprovernents in the city and District. Itis probably safe to say that these sections within ‘the past twenty-five years paid in tuxes for the benefit of other portions of the District and city several times over the sums now asked for these single improvements. At the most it would be but asmali modicum of justice to the eastern sections. lerstand, it is not claimed that his extension of Masrachusetts avenue is called for asa business opening to any now unaccom- modated territory beyond, nor that the north- west portion of the District has not now suiti- ciently numerous and convenient me of ne cess to the city, nor that it has not in the past received its due share of the public funds for improvements. these are not the grounds upon which Massachusetts avenue bases its request and are the precise grounds upon which Pennsylvania und New York avenues rest theirs, there would seem to be neituer justice nor propriety in at- tempting to make these extensions a joint roject. P*Pennsylvania and ‘Nov York avenues stand in their own right and on their own merits and ask consideration on the grounds of public convenience and even-handed justice. If Massachusetts avenue can show to the Commis- sioners, or the people of the District, satisfac tory reasons for the expenditure of $175,000 we shall enter no protest, but we do most emphati- cally protent ‘against harnessing two much- needed public improvements ton costly ex- penditure of no immediate pressing public ———. aes fhese three proposed extensions are in no sense parts of a whole: they have no relation ‘one to another, near or remote: with no propriety be made cont upon the o Pennsylvania avenue south- sufficient reason in public convenience, justice tnd equality for asking extensions at a2 some 50,000 each, with what sense or justice are they to be asked to wait upon an expendi- ture of $175,000 to extend miles above George- town?zIf their claims are just and the improve- ments desirable, let them be granted.
