Action in Pursunnce of a Settled Policy to Rid the City of Surface Tracks and Grade Crossings. At a recent meeting of the Washington board of trade resolutions were unanimous- ly adopted protesting against the passage of H. R. 5289, entitled, “‘a bill to incorporate the Washington and Georgetown Terminal Railroad Company.” The resolution cited that since its organization the board of trade had uniformly opposed the further extension at grade of steam railroads over and along the streets and avenues of the city of Washington and had recommended that all steam rallroads coming in the city should enter above or below grade and that tll existing surface tracks should be sunk or raised where practicable. The resolu- tions also showed that the passage of such a bill would allow the construction of a road that would incumber at grade more than one mile of city streets, about twenty- four crossings, and would seriously inter- tere with and impede ail traffic by way of the Potomac river. After showing how greatly detrimental the passage of the bill would be to the best interests of Washing- ton and how it would further aggravate the evils arising from the maintenance within the city of steam railroads at grade, it was resolved that the board would in all proper ways and upon all suitable occasions pro- test against, oppose and resist favorable tion upon the bill, both in the congression- al committees and the two houses of Con- gress. What the Committee Said. In submitting these resolutions to the board the committee on railroads reported that in its opposition to the location of steam railroad tracks at grade the board of trade reflected a very decided sentiment of the community. “This opposition,” said the report, “has found frequent and vehement expression in public meetings and through the columns of the daily press, and has been directed not alone to projected and immatured en- terprises, but to existing and old establish- ed lines of railways within the District of Columbia. With the annually augmenting Nst of casualties resulting from the oper- ation of steam railroads at grade, this sen- tment has steadily increased in volume and in force until it will now be satisfied with little less than the immediate reloca- tion of existing steam lines at such eleva- tion above or at such depression below the grade of streets as shall insure absolute safety to the lives and limbs of citizens. The project now under consideration is peculiarly obnoxious to this sentiment. The section of Water street which it is pro- posed to occupy is lined by the principal wharves, warehouses and business estab- Ushments of the city. It is here that we find the most available part of the city’s limited water front. The uninterrupted use of the street throughout the length propos- ed to be appropriated for these tracks is absolutely essential to the proper conduct of the business to which it is now devoted. The presence of rapidly moving or of standing and shifting trains of freight cars of the length usually demanded for the purpose of through transportation could not fail to prove a serious impediment to the transaction of business as well as a constant menace to the lives and limbs of employes, and to teams engaged in the necessary work of hauling merchandise over and across the street. The objection to the occupation of K street at grade is hardly less grave. Business might be less obstructed than on Water street, but the menace to citizens’ lives and limbs is no less. “At the time when the Baltimore and Obio Railroad Company, syielding to pr: sure of an enlightened public opinion on this point, stands pledged to the elevation of its tracks, and is teking the initial step in that direction, it seems to your com- mittee that to permit the introduction of further steam railroads at grade within the District of Columbia without protest, and the opposition of every legitimate effort at self-protection, would be not only to abdicate, but to betray the trust which has been confided to its members by their fellow citizens of the board of trade. A Welcome to Railroads. “It would seem to be needless to add to this report the assurance that this com- mittee heartily favors the introduction of railway facilities within the District of Columbia. Municipal progress and indi- vidual welfare are alike promoted by the judicious enlargement of such facilities. Their construction, however, must be mad to consist with the integrity of private property and the protection of individual life and limb. This requirement has led, in recent times, to the enforced elevation above the road grade, or depression below it, of steam rail- road tracks in the large cities on the east- ern seaboard, and imposes a particular obligation in this direction upon the guard- fans of the nation’s capital. Here, even more than elsewhere, it is incumbent upon the municipal authorities to exercise a prescient and thoroughly enlightened judg- ment. Whatsoever is wrought here is of national importance, and may be said to be extra territorial In effect for weal for woe. The objection which raises a steam track above grade, or depresses it below grade, in Baltimore, Philadelphia or New York obtains with tenfold force where re- gard must be had to the conservation of aesthetic features, no less than the busi- ness interests, «nm behalf of the millions yet unborn of our countzy's population. It cannot be urged with justice that the re- quirement is peculiarly onerous, and to that extent proscriptive. “The additional expenditure which ts in- volved will be amply compensated by the resulting immunity from accidents, and consequent claims for damages. Besides, it is a first cost only, and must, in the nature of things, be speedily reimbursed from the profits of the road. The opposition, there- fore, of your committee to the measure in question is based altogether upon the Proposed construction of the tracks at grade. If its projectors will modify their proposal and elevate the tracks upon Water and K streets so as not to interfere with surface traffic, the objection urged by your committee will be conciliated.” The Policy of the Board. The board of trade, representing the citi- zens of Washington, has, from the start, taken a firm and unmistakable position in opposition to surface tracks and grade crossings, favoring legislation that would remove the grade crossing evils already existing,and opposing all propositions look- ing to a multiplication of such evils. Mr. Myron M. Parker, as president of the board, in his first annual report, made in November, 1890, declared the general policy of the board, in relation to this mat- ter, and subsequent action has been con- sistent with the principles then enunciated. “The first formal action of the board,” says this report by President Parker, re- ferring to controversies raised during the year, “consisted in the adoption of a reso- lution declaring it to be the board’s policy to urge the requirement that steam rail- roads, hereafter, coming into the city, should enter above or below grade, and that all existing surface tracks should be sunk below, or raised above, the grade wherever practicable.” At a subsequent meeting, Mr. Parker said, a report was made condemning the Atkinson Pennsyl- vania railroad bill, and declaring that “whatever else might fail to be accomplish- ed, the obstruction and danger of the belt of surface tracks should be removed.” Con- cluding his remarks on this subject, Mr. Parker said: “Public support of the principles advocat- ed by the board of trade in dealing with the railroads is indicated by the signing of a petition to Congress, substantially setting forth these principles, by 13,000 representa- tive people of the District. It ts hoped that the city may secure in the near future an enlargement within the specified limits of the inadequate freight facilities of the city, and at the same time obtain some measure of decrease in the disfigurement of the pub- Me reservations by surface tracks, and some relief for the people of the two sections of the city from the inconvenience, pecuniary damage and physical danger of grade cross- ings, putting the capital upon the level in this respect with European cities.” —— The Salem Lyceum Meeting.

Beside these, selections will be played from quar- tets by Beethoven, Clementi and Grieg, and there wil! be violin and ‘cello solos by Mr. Kneisel and Mr. Schroeder.

A Sacred Concert Given at Albaugh’s Last Ni It was a great and brilliant throng which attended the sacred concert given last night at Albaugh’s for the benefit of the: orphan children of St. Vincent Asylum for Little Girls. Although the theater was crowded to the foyer, it is safe to assume that many of the tickets sold were not turned over to Doorkeeper Buckingham. The audience was as flattering and the applause as generous as any artist could Gesize. The work of the musicians de- veloped many points of excellence, but even though this were not so, the worthiness of the charity would disarm criticism. The concert was given by the United Catholic Choirs of Washington, assisted by other eminent talent. Encores were frequently demanded and granted. The program was Tableau representation of ‘Angelus, Miss Jeannette Jack- son, Mr. John S.
