Md u2l-3u COBBLE OR ASPHALT The Attorney for the District Holds That : the Commissioners Can Decide. The Railroad Companies Not the Sole Power to Select the Character of the Paving Material. The fight against cobble stone paving between railroad tracks has been a long and bitter one. When the Washington and Georgetown Ratlroad Company changed its motive pow- er and constructed the cable road the Com- missioners unanimously decided against the use of cobble stones for paving between the | tracks. Their argument was that it would | destroy the beauty of the avenue, in fact, would detract from the appearance of any street paved with asphalt. And so an order be issued to any street railroad to pave between its tracks with cobble stone. But the making and enforcement of an or- der are two different things, and it was rot railroad to pave between certain portions of its track with cobble. Other permits have since been granted, but no one ob- ney for the ‘Biewiet appealed to for a legal opinion on — The questions sub- mitted to him for opinion were: Does para- tion 5 of an act providing a permanent form-of government for the Dis- trict of Columbia give street railway com- ae aed to ving coges stones cr for pa’ spaces speci- fied in said i spaces have been paved with it or other improved pavement, have such companies the right to replace such pavement with cobble stones or Belgian blocks, in case a renewal of the pavement | £004. is permitted or required.” The Attorney's Opinion. The opinion of the attorney for the ,Dis- trict upon these important quescions was | submitted today, and is as follows: “Much litigation has arisen out of the efforts made by municipal cornorations to enforce. the liability, real or assumed, of railway companies to pave, repave and re- pair streets: The existence of the obliga- tion generally depends upon the interpre- tation which may fairly be given to the | avenues .as they occupy is imposed by statute: Section 5 of the act of Congress approved. June 11, 1874, provided, among other that ‘when any street or ave- nue through which a street railway com- pany runs shall be paved, such railway company shail bear all the expense for that | portion of the work lying between the ex- terior rails of the tracks of such road, and for a distance of two feet from the ex- terior of the track or tracks on each side thereof, and of keeping the same in repair; but the said rhilway companies having con- formed to grades established by the Com- miesioners, may use stich cobble stones Eee Dene paving their tracks the © ers may direct, * * © and if any street railroad company shall neglect or re to perforin the work re- by this act sald pavement shall be laid between the tracks and exterior there- to of such railway by the District.’ “The duty of railway companies to repair is generally confined to the portion of the readway of the sireet occupied by their =. or ae space between parallel lines short distance beyond the outer rails ‘hereof. and is fulfilled by re- storing that portion of the street to the condition in which it was when the tracks were laid, when rendered necessary by wear or accident or other causes not at- tributable to the municipal authorities or those acting under their direction. And this usually means that the work of re- pairing shall be ‘be done with the same kind of material the general pavement of the street is of. Why Cobble Stone Was Permitted. + _“The answer to your questions must therefore depend somewhat on the true meaning of the language, ‘But said railway companies having conformed to the grades established by the Commissioners may use such cobble stones or Belgian blocks for paving their tracks as the Commissioners may direct,’ contained in the fifth seciion of the act of June 11, 1878. It is more than Nkety that when this feature of the act cf 1878 was being considered by Congress it was urged by street railway officials that it was impracticable to operate street cars by horse power where the space between the tracks was paved with asphaltum, and hence it was that railway companies using horse power, in doing the paving required to be done by them were permitted to use ‘such cobble stones or Belgian blocks as the Commissioners may direct.’ The phrase ‘such cobble stone or Belgian blocks,” re- ferring to the size or quality of the cobble stone or Belgian blocks as the Commission- ers might determine upon. “For these reesons I have the honor to state in a to your first question, that section 5 of the act of Congress of June 31, 1878, gives street railway companies uper- ating by horse power the right to use ecb- ble stones or Belgian blocks for paving the space between their tracks and for two feet outside thereof, but that this provision of the statute does not apply where the rail- way is operated by cable or electric power. “In answer to your second cuestion, I have the honor to advise you that in cases ‘of streets paved with asphaltum, or aod improved pavement, which are occupied railway companies, such companies mene not the right to replace the pavement be- tween their tracks, etc., with cobble stones or Belgian blocks, unless the railway is operated by horse power. The Commissioners to Decide. “The discretion as to what kind of material shall be used in paving the tracks of a rail- way company, and for two feet outside the exterior rails thereof, is with the Commis- sicners, and not with the railway compa- nies. If a street has been paved with phailtum, and a railway company not operat- py its cars by horse power, for the purpose of readjusting its tracks, disturbs the pave- ment between ‘its rails, and for two feet exterior thereto, it is bound to replace and repair such pavement La the satisfaction of the? Commissioners, wjth the kind of ma- terial of which the o! 1 pavement was constructed, unless the Commissioners, un- der the circumstances of a particular case, see fit - Sane to be dene with cobble stone or blocks. In the cases of ie same yo seg ep eeviget gy re- or may be done wi ‘such Rouble stone or Belgian blocks’ as the Com- missioners \y direct.” +—— __ ‘Pacific Mail Contracts. wrew “Pacific Mail Steamship Com- pany” ‘will carry out the terms of its con- fact with the government for carrying mails between New York and Colon is a matter of considerable doubt among Post Office Department officials. The contract ‘was made two years ago, and provided for a change in the service on February 1 of this year from sending a steamer every tenth day to weekly trips. The Postmaster General has received a communication from Secretary W. H. Jane Company, stating that it is questionable whether the company can meet the requirements. No action on the communication has been taken by the de- partment. If the contract is not carried out the Postmaster General has power to impose a heavy fine. A like condition of affairs exists in the mail service between San ncisco and Hong Kong, for which the Pacific Company | also kas the contract. The change in that | service fixed for February 1 is from thir- teen to twenty-six trips a year. petals heen) ~<a ‘Transfers of Real Estate. | Deeds in fee have been filed as follows: G. E.
