THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. MONDAY...............--Mareh 11, 1893. Editor. —— S. NOYES. THE EVENING STAR has a regular ee permanent circulation much more than the combined circnlation of the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. In order to avoid delays, on ac- count of perso absence, letters to THE STAR should not ,be addressed to any individual connected with the office, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorinl or Business Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpose. Attention should be paid by the higher authorities without any delay to the state- ment made by Major Davis of the engineer corps in his latest monthly report sum- marized in Saturday's Star, relative to the condition of the roadway of Long Bridge. Major Davis says that the road is in very bad shape, and this greatly impedes the travel that flows back and forth across the structure. The act of June 21, 1870, he says, requires the Baltimore & Potomac R. R. Co. to keep the roadway in good con- dition; nevertheless, the company has per- sistently neglected to do anything to repair this part of the bridge, although the chief vf engineers of the company has been re- peatedly notified by Major Davis that re- @airs were necessary and incumbent upon the corporation. This act contains the fol- lowing paragraph: ‘ “Provided that the said Baltimore & Po- tomac R. R. C6. will maintain in good con- dition the said bridge for railway and or- dinary travel; and the bridge shall at all times be and remain a free bridge for pub- lic _use for ordinary travel. That if the said Baltimore & Potomac R. R. Co. neglect to keep said bridge in good repair and free for public use for ordinary travel, the gov- ernment of the United States may enter into possession of the said bridge.” Thus it will be seen that the penalty for non-compliance with the provisions of the law, both as regards repairs and tolls, is the forfeiture of the right to use the bridge for railroad traffic. Unless the recommen- dations and orders of the army engineers shall be complied with without further de- lay, it would be quite incumbent upon the Proper officers of the government to take possession of the bridge under the provis- ions of this act, and stop the use of it as @ structure for railroad traftic. This is no strained construction of the law, and in view of the indifference and neglect of the railroad company, the penalty is by no Means severe. As long as this railroad company is permitted to occupy the streets of South Washington without compensating the city, there is great danger and detri- ment to life and property in that region. If it is elso to maintain a flimsy, danger- ous structure across the river, ‘t is the least that could be expected that the public read should be maintained in fair condi- tion. The penalty of the act should be in- flicted upon the railroad company for its failure to comply with the law, although at present the majority of the traffic across the bridge is composed of frequenters of the plague spot at the south end, called Jackson City. Two reforms are immedi- ately and urgently needed. One of. these is to clean out the gambling hells on the Vir- ginia shore, and the other is to force the Pennsylvania R. R. Co. to replace the pres- ent menacing structure with a modtrn, tafe, convenient bridge. 2 Chicago bicyclers are hereafter to be taxed. two dollars each year, the fee to be the cost of a license. The measure is primarily one for raising revenue, and in a city of the size of Chicago, which claims to possess upward of one hundred thousand wheel- men, it means the collection of a large sum for municipal support. There is a similar proposition pending in the Wisconsin leg- islature. There can be no question that the riders of bicycles together with users of other vehicles should be taxed if the state is to go extensively into good road building, and that the money so raised should be used to this end. Otherwise it is difficult to un- derstand the logic of the law unless the bicyclist is to be taxed because he owns a valuable piece of property. The average cost of a’ wheel is now about eighty dollars, so that the annual fee of two dollars would be a taxation rate of $2.50 per 100. The rate of taxation upon real and personal es- tate here is $1.50, and thus the Chicago wheel rate would here be excessive if re- garded as a personal tax upon the users of bicycles. It may be that the tax is levied as a means of checking the evil of reckless riding in large cities, and on this basis there may be some good in the new law. ‘There was another accident here Sunday in which a careless rider figured. Unfortu- nately for him, but happlly for the com- munity, the man with whom he collided was a policeman, who promptly arrested him. A license revokable after conviction of carelessness might tend to reduce the amount of “scorching” in the streets, though it would be difficult to restrain peo- ple from riding without licenses unless the police force were greatly increased. It would be an interesting problem to provide distinctive tags or marks for wheelmen who had paid their fees. Some ingenious chap might set to work to devise a net wherein to capture delinquent cyclists. A corps of constables to overtake tax-dodg- ing wheelers could be mounted on racing machines and, perhaps, do great damage themselves. This Chicago ideg is not up to the usual standard. om —___~ ++ *+___ The announcement that the Chesapeake and Ohio canal is soon to be reopened for the season will be good news to the people who have been waiting at this end of the long ditch for many months for business to be resumed. There is quite a com- munity here dependent upon the canal for support and there has been much suffer- ing this severe winter among the canal inen and their families. —__+ e+ ____ It is reported that Garza has been Killed in a fight.

According to all accounts the lad was en- gaged in stealing a ride in the most dan- gerous position possible, ciinging on the narrow ledge which runs immediately un- der the windows of the car. His fall under the wheels was necessarily followed by his terrible mutilation, though it would ap- pear that no blame can possibly attach to the driver of the car. The region where the accident occurred is one that is noted for the reckless behavior of the small boys, and mutilation and fatalities are shock- ingly frequent, owing to the children play- ing most recklessly in the streets. This is unquestionably the cause of many of the street car accidents in the large cities and must be taken into consideration in calculating the speed at which the cars, especially those propelled by other than horse power, can be safely run. There is no doubt that the killing of pedestrians by the electric and cable cars is due in a large measure to the high rate of speed at which they are run. In Philadelphia yes- terday there were four accidents, one re- sulting in the death of a child, one_in the death of a valuable horse, and two in the severe injury of children. It will be seen that the ratio of aceidents increases greatly as the speed of the cars goes beyond ten miies an hour. Recent observations were made in Brooklyn of the speed of trolley cars by officers of the city, and it was shown that the cars in crowded sections averaged about fifteen miles an hour, while many of them ran up to twenty and some to twenty-five miles. This shows that lit- tle regard is paid in the City of Churches to the unavoidable fact that children are always of neccssity found in the streets and the only remedy at hand seems to be to impose severe fines upon companies running cars that cause the death of hu- man beings, increasing with each offense. The case in point merely shows that acci- dents to children are natural and inevi- table, and this increases the obligation on the part of the company to exercise the greatest diligence and care. & Poor, corperation-ridden Philadelphia is now groaning under the prospect that soon there ‘may be another set of dangerous electric wires strung along Chestnut street, one of the busiest thoroughfares of the country. For thirteen years the right- minded citizens of the municipality have been struggling to get the law enforced that requires all wires to be put under ground, but not only have certain of the corporations practically defied the law, but now the common council is proposing to grant to an electric lighting com- pany the right to string thelr fatal cur- rents along on the tops of the trolley poles, thus’ greatly increasing the danger of crosses and indueed currents and obstruc- tions in case of fire. The merchants are now thoroughly aroused and declare that there will be a merry time before they sub- mit to the enforcement of the proposed ordinance. There is now no need whatever for overhead wires at all. Electrical sci- ence progressed to the point many years ago where the underground transmission of currents of all potentialities and for all uses can be economically and safely ac- complished. There is no use for a single wire to be seen overhead, for telephones, the telegraph, for lighting or for the pro- pulsion of street cars. A city with poles is a city of no progression. Wires in the air are signs of civic stagnation. When a great city like Philadelphia is_ menaced with these relics of the days of cheapness there must be" something radically wrong. Put all the wires under ground. Bury them deep enough tv keep them out of the way of the metal pipes. Cover them securely, but above all, get them out of sight and out of danger. ———~ + ___ The Reverend Dr. Talmage gave thanks because Congress has departed.
