IT 18 READ AT 4 MEETING OF THE BOARD OF TRADE LAST NIGHT—THE OLD STRUCTURE ‘MUST BE REPLACED BY ONE OF MODERN MakR— THE RAILROAD TRACKS. ‘There was a special meeting of the board of trade last night in the ball of the builders’ ex- change. “To hear a report from the committee on bridges” was the stated object of the as- sembiage, and when that had been done ad- | journment epeedily followed, for there was ab- | solute unanimity of sentiment as to the con- clusions reached by the committee. It was nearly 8 o'clock when Secretary Alex. D.Ander- | son called the board to order and asked that a | chairman be chosen to fill the place of the ab- sent president. Mr.W. S. Thompson was nomi- nated and elected. The presiding officer at once cehed for the report and it was read by Mr. Theodore W. Noyes, chairman of the com- mittee. Upon the conclusion of the reading, on motion of Mr. Harrison Johnson, the re- port was received and adopted; there was no dissent. REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE. The report is as follows: On all sides except the north Washington is surrounded by water- ways which separate the city from its District suburbs, and from historic Arlington and the suburban settlements of the Virginia shore of the Potomac. The steady and marvelous growth of the city is causing settlement to p these intervening waterways, to swell the population of the semi-rural annexes of Washington, and to give importance to the of supplying adequate bridges to bind the outlying to the main city. Rock Anacostia river and the Potomac all de- ation, the claims of the iast named for consideration being at this time most urgent. Tifa LONG DAM MISSAMED LOXG BRIDOE.

WHAT TRE LATEST FLOOD DID. Great losses were incurred by the city from this cause in 1877. Again in 1881, when the freshet iteelf was not so high, but an ice gorge formed at the bridge, resulting in the destruc- tion of three of its spans and the deluging of Washington. The even more serious visitation of Jane, 1889, is still fresh in recollection. The waters of the Potomac rose higher than ever known before by the oldest inhabitant, fully three feet above the 1377 tlood mark, clear to the stringers of the Long bridge, and con- tinued for hours ;to flow so high that noth- ing of any size floating on the river could pass er the bridge. The structure served, as! usual, to collect the drift and debris from the | suriace of the swollen Potomac. The Analos- tan Loat house was swept from its foundations | and carried down the torrent with ali ite con- | tents, going finally to ruin against the bridge. | Against it canal boats, barges and mud scows | were also piled by ‘the swift current. A schooner was torn fronr its anchorage in the Georgetown channel and its wreckage was heaped against the causeway and draw. A bridge about sxty feet long floated down the river in fairly good condition, until it came to grief against Long bridge. Small articles of accumulated drift wero numerous. The bridge itself, thus rudely as- sulted and presenting every’ hour a greater surface of obstruction to the freshet, was in great danger. All night before the worst of the flood the bridge watchers paced _restleusly up and down its north end, expecting every minute tosee it give way. Directions were given to load the bridge with all the cars avail- able and a Jong train of loaded freight cars backed on it, The old causeway ws pletely submerged and the fence which divided the driveway from the railroad tracks was swept away. A canal boxt atruck the draw on the Virginia side, completely disabling it. The tushing waters obstructed by the impromptn dam were driven in destructive cross currents over and against the reciaimed flats, doing much damage, and were turned in upon the Potomac, misnamed Long bridge, is a danger signal to the public, inviting all beholders to a crusade of destruction against it in the public interest. y Camsavar.

In balancing the accounts between the public and the railroad it is to be remembered that tho latter secures from the former in connec- ‘tion with this legislation: (1) Release of claim for rental for the admittedly illegal use and oc- cupation of strects and certain reservations for lo these-many years. An act of the last Con- gress legalized the oceupation and use of six small reservations which had for yoars been used without legal authority. The road has oc- cupied und still occupies the large reservation at the intersection of Maryland and Virginia avennes. which Mr. A. G. Riddie, when attorney for the Distriét, reported to be ‘held only b; virtue of “squatter sovereignty.” It has pait nothing for it long illegal use of the streets and reservations as storage depots and shifting yards: (2) Legalizing the alleged illegai tracks along Maryland avenue between 9th and Gth sireets if a route along this avenue is agreed upon. (8) An increase of the number of its legal tracks and the space occupied by them on public property between Virginia ave- nue and the 6th street station; also along th whole route on both Maryiand aud Virgin’ avenues and across the reclaimed flate. This means the donation of a valuable strip of pub- lic property, a large addition to the railroad’s land grant, representing a heavy expenditure if payment were exacted at the market price. (45 Most important of all, the removal of the grounds of public hostility founded on the Present condition of Long bridge, and the no thoroughiare belt of surface tracks along Mary- land and Virginia avenues and 6th street, and the conciliation of the public by the erection here, aa victaally promised, ef the Snest sta- tion'to be found on the Pennsylvania's whole system, will in effect cause the temporary grant of right of way from Virginia avenue to the free station site on the mail to become perma- nent. it will then be impossible to loosen the railroad’s grip upon the park. The value of this benefit to the railroxd is almost incalcula- ble. Some time ago Senator Ingails estimated tho value of the mall privileges, for which the railroad would have to pay elsewhere, at least half a million dollars. ‘They are worth more now. ‘This estimate indicates only the pecuni- ary value of the acquisition and allows nothing for the injury and practical destruction of the continuous park from the Capitol to the White House, which our forefathers planned and which’ is necessary as.an in-the-city breathing THE LONG BRIDGE MOUNTAINS. ‘The specific measure affecting the Long bridge, which has come before your committee to be acted upon. is Senate bill No. 1142 and HL. RB. bill No. ). This measure proposes to separate the public highway and the railroad tracks in the causeway portion of Long bridge crossing the reclaimed flats and to give to the railroad for its uses the present highway on condition that it construct another, fifty feet Westward, at 4 cost not to exceed $25,000. ‘The law by which the government in 1870 gave to the Laltimore and Potomac railroad the use of Long bridge requires the railroad to maintain the bridge in good condition for ordinary travel, and provides for forfeiture of tue right to use if this requirement is disre- garded. ‘he bridge is not now in good condition for ordinary travel. In the preamble of the bill under consideration, introduced as the propo- sition of the ratlroud, it is recited and admit- ted that through the ‘increase of railway traffic over the tracks in close proximity to the high- way “said bridge” iy rendered ‘unsafe for ordinary travel.’ Nor can a shaky, rickety old structure which is prevented from sweep- ing down the river only by mountains of stone, piled about its piers at the bottom of the river and obstructing the channel, be pronounced in good repair for ordinary travel, even if the dangers from proximity of tracks be entirely disregarded. A separation of the highway from the tracks in crossing the reclaimed flate and a radical reconstruction of Long bridge are necessary not only to the public welfare, but on the rail revent a forfeiture of its otomac by bridge at this road's account, to right to cross the point, OBJECTIONS TO THE RAILROAD'S PENDING PROPO- SITION. The broad objections to the railroad’s propo- sition in the present bill a (1) It ignores the most serious evils in the condition of Long bridge and fails to remedy the worst features of the particular evil wich it undertakes to cure, (2) It fails to separate the grades of tracks and highway, icaving horses upon the latter to be frightened by trains upon an in- creased number of tracks in close proximity, and tends tostrengthen the hold,of the railroad | upon the suriace of the reclaimed flats, the park that isto be. (3) It tixes the cost limit upon the proposed improvement at only one- | third of the amount which Col. Peter C. Hains reported would be necessary to construct a/ suitable new highway of the kind proposed. (A) It demands au exorbitant price in the shape of the grant to it of the present highway for imperfectly meeting a danger which it admits to be of its own creation, and which, 1t says, renders unsafe for ordinary travel @ structure which it is under legal obligation tomaintain at itsown expeuse in good condition for such ordi- nary travel LONG BRIDGE MUST GO. ‘The public verdict is that Long bridge must go, and the community reasonably demands a comprehensive plan of removing the whole nuisance and obstruction of the present struc- ture at a single legislative stroke. ‘The raiiroad’s project of acquiring the Long bridge causeway was presented to the last Con- gress, was relerred to the Secretary of War tor an opinion and elicited valuable report | irom Col. Peter C. Hains, then in charge of river front improvements, which so fully meets the ideas of your commitiee that it is ‘made a part of this report and attached to it as an appendix. it may be added that the conclusions of Col. Hains concerning the Long bridge problem | have also been heartily indorsed and recom- | mended to Congress for adoption by the Com- | missioners of the District in a recent report | upon the present bid forwarded to the Senate | District committee. COMPREMENSIVE PLAN OF COL. HATXS. Col. Hains opposed a piecemeal treatment of | the problem ‘The causeway portion of the | ridge cuts in two the 650 acres of new-made ground which at the expense of over 1,000,000 | has created out of pestilential | to convert into | | of supreme importance that the railroad be re- | moved from the grade of this park, and that | the tracks be carried over it onan elevated | structure whieh would allow free communica- | tion beneath them. He proposed that the marshes and which it propos public highway, separatea from the tracks, should cross the park ou grade. ‘The present low lying structure, about ten feet clear of Lighand thirteen feet clear of low tide, that | dams the main ebannel of the river was to be re- | placed by a much higher bridge with few piers and so Constructed as to offer the lexst ob- struction to the rushing waters in times of freshet. THE NUISANCE AND MENACE OF LO! BRIDGE.

Both the city of Washington | he: | the Baltimore and Potomac railroad in view of | stores were partly ander water, causing heavy losses. The Baltimore and Potomac station is described as presenting a novel sight. ‘The water completely filled the waiting rooms. Boats floated through the entrances of the depot. Personsliving on Missouri avenue were unable to leave their homes except by means of boats, as the water there was very deep. The flood came before many of the residents had been provided with eatables tor the day and had it not been for outside assistance many of them would probably have gone hungry. All the streets leading south from the avenue be- tween the Botanical Gardens and the treasury were canals. The basements and lower floors of houses were under water. The market house stood in the center of a great Jake. Rafts and boats appeared in numbers on the street. WHAT THE NEXT FLOOD MAY po. Whenever one of the series of great freshets which from time to time ‘partly destroy the Long bridge and flood the city shall occur when the river is full of ice from the breaking up in the upper Potomac after heavy winter rains, an ice gorge will be formed at Long bridge which ‘will send x broad. deep stream through Washington by way of Pennsylvania will probably end by ‘sweeping away Long bridge altogether, destroying the railroad and southern connections supplied by Unless no other less heroic | method of causing Long bridge to go is possi ble the city would prefer to retove thin public | nuisance in some way that does not contem- plate Washington's temporary conversion into half Johnstown, threaten loss ‘of life and involve a damage to its business intereste measured by millions. FLATS LIPROVEMENT INCLUDES LONG BRIDGE RECONSTRUCTION The great project of Potomac harbor improve- ment contemplated that the reclamation of the flats should be accompanied at an ectly stage by @ reconstruction of Long bridge sub- stantially in the manner now proposed and the further protection of the ne’ le park, when | completed, by a sea wall. ‘This noble work | should be pushed to completion. The govern- ment’s expenditure of €1,000,000 on the improvement ought tobe rendered effective by | the comparatively smail additional outlay | nd the arbor improvement, flood threatened, implore Congress for speedy action in the matter.

COMMITTEE URGES COMPREKENSIVE, NOT PIECE- * MEAL, ACTION Reporting specitically upon the bill before | it, your committee disapprovesiton tie ground | that it asiss too much for the railroad and offers | too little to the public in the particulars al- | ready specified: thai it threatens railroad oceu- | pation of the surface of the new park, furnish- | ing additional evidence of the mysterious af- | finity existing between railroad tracks and | public parks in the city of Washington; that it | is hostile to Col. Hains’ admirabie and compre- © pian of solving the Long bridge prob- Jem, and that it tends to postpone indefinitely | the much-needed reconstruction of the Long | bridge. We therefore recommend the substi- | tution for this measure ot a bill for rebuilding Long bridge on the general lines laid down by | Col. Hains, repiacing it with a structure which shall neither threatou the city nor obstruct navigation to the harbor of Georgetown, and urge with all the emphasis possible the impor- | tance and necessity of immediate and ene getic action by Congress in the direction ind: cated. THE RAILROAD READY TO IMPROVE. ITS TERMINALS. It is stated on apparently good authority that | the opposition to its project concerning the | Long bridge, which developed in the Senate | District committee, in the Commissioners of the District and in the public press, has ex- pressed 4 willingness to reconstruct the bridge substantially in the manner desired as part of & general improvement of its Washington ter- minal facilities, and that Senator McMillan, chairman of the Senate District committee, on the basis of the road's agreement with him, is framing a measure which will rebuild Long ! bridge, remove grade ‘crossings in the city and elevate or depress the tracks in crossing the mall. ‘THE RATLROAD'S BILL AGAINST THE PUBLIC. If this legislation is through Senator McMil- lan’s skiliful negotiations and management and the progressiveness of the railroad, accom- plished, the railroad will have, it is esti ‘ 2 Dill against the United States and possibly the District on account of the construction of Place for those who have neither the meat nor the time for a suburban outing. If the magnificent original plan is to be per- manently altered and disfigured for the rail- road’e benefit let the latter pay handsomely for this desecration, as well as for its land grants. Ii the aesthetic, sentimental and sa: tary considerations which plead for the u terrupted mall of L’Enfant’s plan are to be buried beyond hope of resurrection, and the issue is reduced to the business-like.question of dollars and cents, let the dollars and cents of compensation also be exacted on strictly busi- ness principles. If a part of the city’s birth- Fight is to be disposed of for a mess of pottage let those who are responsible for the transfer at least see to it that the municipal stomach en- joys every particle of pottage justly due. The railroad’s direct gain, when the temporary loan of ite mail privileges becomes a permanent gilt, will be so vast that without the aid of the other items enumerated it will be sufficient to outweigh any claim against the District, how- ever exaggerated, on account of the abolition of grade crossings and the reconstruction of Long bridge. LONG BRIDGE PROBLEM VIEWED SEPARATELY. It, however, the Long bridge is treaed sepa- rately from the local railroad question the gov- ernment, which met the full cost of the struc- ture of which it granted the use in 1870 to the railroad, can well afford in protection of and 96 part of the harbor improvement to meet a Part of the expense of reconstructing the ridge. Neighboring Virginia will be even more directly interested in the new structure asa bridge than Washington, which is more especially concerned about the removal of the | | dam, the prompt abatement of the dangerous nuisance of the proseat. than the acquirement of additional bridge facilities at this point. ‘he gain of the capital city will, however, be great on one ecore and considerable on the other, and this fuct will be reauily admitted by it whatever turn the discussion concerning the provision of ways and means for the project may take. ELEVAT! RATHER THAN DEPRESS THE TRACKS. Your commitiee ventures to express the hope that the problem of bridges across railroad tracks will not arise in connection with the Baltimore and Potomac tracks leading to the Long bridge. Last year the railroad opposed the ground that this procedure would not bring the tracks to Long bridge in proper relation to an elevated structure. If the railroad. adher- ing to its beliet of net year, should favor the eLolition of its grade crossings by the building of an arched masonry vinduct of the Berlin type there would be nodisturbance of the grade of streets or street car lines, no damage to prop- erty owners Irom long ugly approacues to high bridges at certain streets and there would bo convenient pansoge way for the public under the elevated structure at numerous pointe. MODERN DKIDGE BUILDIXG. In the construction of the new Long bridge, of the much desired and much necded bridge to Arlington, of the required additional struc- tures and reconstructed existing bridges across the Anacostia river and Rock creek and of any bridges across steain railroad tracks to avoid grade crossings which may be necessary, your committee recommends the building of broad, substantial structures, as far as possible con tinuations of the streets in grade, in width and in surface. ‘The bridge sign, “Waik your horses,” is as unmistakable at indication of delayed municipal development and old fogy conditions as the eppeurunce of s bridge toll collector. ‘he modern bridge ought also to be so con- structed as to afford rapid transit faciliti without interfering with the comfort and safety of pedestrians and persons in private vehicles. Kapid transit covuections perform asimilar fanetion to the bridges which they utilize in binding suburban settlements to the city ond in enabling the latter to absorb and assimilate them. When the District's needs in respect to bridges and rapid transit ure fully met, Wash- ington will not only extend a symmetrical plan of streets to the boundaries of the Maty- land portion of the ten miles square, but will practicully annex the Virginia retroceded frac- tion. Whether or not judicial annuiment of tue retrocession or second cession shall le- gully restore to the District its origiual dimen- sions, Washington will in fact extend its boundaries across the Potomac and add Arling- ton to its system of parks. In the future Washington, which the pré posed iegislation promises to aid in develop- ing, the Potomac river will be ntilized to its tuil capacity for the benefit of the trade, health and pleasure of the city. The present impedi- ment to easy access to the river front, the im- passable barrier of @ belt of surface railroad | Dorsey, st., Mr. and Mra. William G. Dorse: the depression and bridging of these tracks on | tacks, illegally occupied by standing care,» will be sent to join the obstacles of the past, a tiferous caual, a criminal-intested mall and th bluffs which needed to be pierced. A local rapid transit system will bring the Poto- tnac within easy reach. The fine harbors from Georgetown to the Anacostia to be obtained when the flats are filled will meet the demands of the city's growing commerce. Without its malarious marshes the quickened river will cut large slices from the District's death rate.

The prisoners were Nathan Arnold and Charles Whitley, residents of the northern section of the city. The police- man gave evidence of having found the boys in & stooping position and he thought they were playing “crap,” although he saw no “bones.” In addition to that information the officer aaid that the boys were noisy.

Hearing of the CUTICURA REMEDIES. I resolved to give them a trial. I fol- lowed the directions carefully, and it affords me much Pleasure to say that before using two boxes of the CUTICURA, four cakes of CUTICURA SOAP and one Dottie of CUTICURA RESOLVENT, 1 was entirely cured. Tn addition to my own case, my baby boy.then about five months old, was suffering with what I sap- Posed to be the same disease as mine, to such an ex- tent that his head was coated over with » solid scab, from which there was a coustant flow of pus which was sickening to look upon. besides two lange tutor-like Kernels onthe back of his bead. Thanks to your enderfal CUTICURA REMEDIES his scalp is per- fectly well and the Kernels have been scattered 80 {hat there {s only one little place by his left ear,and that is healing nicely. Instead of a coating of scabs he basa fine coat of hair. much better than that which wras destroyed by the disease. I would that the whole World of sufferers from skin and blood diseases knew the value of your CUTICURA REMEDIES asI do. They are worth ten times the price at which they are sold Ihave never used any othes toilet soap in iny house since I bought the firstcake of your CULICUKA SOAP.
