The Commissioners have had under con- sideration the matter of requiring street railroad companies to combine in main- taining union stations and ridding the streets of unnecessary trackage at points Where different lines meet or cross. One point where the multiplicity of cars and tracks has caused considerable complaint on the part of the public is at 7th and Florida avenue. ‘The ccngestion of street car travel at this point, the terminus of four street railway lines, has drawn atten- tion to the advisability of the con- struction there of some sort of union station. A civil cngireer, who has given thought to the matter, has drawn a pian for a union station, which, in his opinion, will rid the streets of the nuisance of com- plicated tracks. This plan is shown in the accomparying cut. Explaining this plan, the engincer said to a Star reporter: “There is urgent present necessity for the corstruction of a cnicn station for the city and suburban railways centering at Florida avenue and 7th street northwest. Aside from. these railways, this is an ex- ceedingly busy peint, for just here one of the greatest trcrovghfares in the District enters the city—the 7th street road 1s practicaliy the crly highway for the whole of the fertile Rock creek basin and for much of the rich farming country beyond. Not less than 0 per cent of the immense travel over this rcad cresses Florida ave- nue at this point, and here four rapid transit reiiways terminate. Important lines of the two great city rcads and the two largest suburlan roads form their junction in the Imrsediate vicinity of this intersec- tion. The number of people transferred at this point can hardly be estimated, but some idea may be obtaired from the fact that one of the suburban roads alone car- ried abcut a million and a quarter passen- gers last year, nearly the entire number arriving oc departing from this junction. “Compared with other Washington streets, both Florida avenue and 7th street are very narrow, the eighty-five feet from building line to build- ing line, and the former only eighty feet. And yet in this narrow space the trai of three rapid transit railw: are up and dispatched, while preparations are being made to add a fourth by the con- struction of the Metropolitan r to this point. The congestion of tracks sand switches here has no equal in any other part of the city railway em, and that there will be only an increase of this men- acing nuisance is shown by the fact that the Capital ‘Traction Company has during the past week been laying additional tracks and switches between 7th strect and Flor- ida avenue. The noise and confusion at times remind one mere of a great railroad yerd than anything else. Not infrequent- ly a dozen cars will be crowded around this intersection, with trains being made up and dispatched in three directions at once. ‘The necessary switching of cars back and forth LIGHT INFANTRY won. A Shake-Up in the Infield Resulted in Better Work. ‘The Light Infantry infield took a shake- up yesterday, and with Wisner at short, Smith at second, Hager at third and Chamberlin on first, defeated the Treas- ury team by 17 to 3. The Treasury team did not put up an excellent article of ball, while the Infantry team was in the swim at all times with quick, snappy playing. Gleeson and Nichols did the pitching, the former having a little the better of it on account of better support. Hager and Chamberlin were the only men who man- aged to find Nichols more than once, while Barrows was the only man among the cashiers who could count out Gleeson's deceptive curves. TREASURY.

The pa- pers in the case were withheld from pub- lication. latter being but | is constantly going on, and there 1s scarce- ty a minute during the day when the cross- ing Is not obstructed by at least two trains. With the rapidly increasing traffic and corresponding decrease in heedway be- tween trains the difficulty is even now in wn acute stage. Before long the problem must be solved. It is certain that the so- lution will be a simplification of tracks, with all switching of cars done off the pub- lic street, with abundant accommodation for standing trains and reasonable shelter and protection for waiting passengers, so as to permit their transfer with rapidity and safety. “The map I have prepared shows the present tracks and a suggested plan for a union station. A glance shows how com- pletely the present crowded and dangerous condition can be remedied. The station would occupy ground on both sides of 8th street, reaching to 9th and to 7th street each ‘way. Eighth street at this point is crly fifty feet in width, and terminating a short distance north of Florida avenue, is but little traveled, consequently the two lines of double track crossing cannot be seriously objectionable. By this plan both the 9th street and Chevy Chase cars will erter and leave from the 9th street front, while the 7th street cable and the Bright- wood trolley cars enter and leave from the 7th street front. Thus all tracks in Florida avenue and both intersections at 7th and Oth streets would be abandoned, while each line would be enabled to have its own separate tracks for making up and for waiting trains, in close proximity for con- venience of transfer to each of the others. “The station has been considered in its simplest form, as merely a car shed with platforms on level with car steps between each track. Any additions, such as office or wuaititg rooms, have rot been consid- ered. Regarding the probable cost, it can only be estimated approximately, but as compared with the cost of the union sta- tion now leing constructed in Georgetown it must be very small. The cost of the necessary ground back of the busine: frontage on Florida averce, now occupied Ly small awellirgs and stores, would cer- tainly not be grcater, and there are no en- gineering difficulties, such as the rock cavation and cestly retaining walls called for in the West End. As probably not more than forty-five thcusand square ft of ground would be required—that is, strip one hundred feet in width runn through the two blogks—th 3 pense, including all ck. ok: could be safely estimated within one hun- dred and fifty th station of permit the Metropoli and the brse ball pa stze indicated would nite reach 7th street K, giving both of the main city lines ample (tack room. Allow- ance has been made for passenger plat- forms fifteen feet in width between the dif- ferent tracks and twelve feet in width on the sides, or considerably wider than the average city sidewalk. — This jon of Congress is probably too far advanced to get any action this year, but the necessi- tles of the case are too urgent to brook long delay, and it would be well for the railroads concerned tg get together on some such plan as is here. presented befor Being cor.pelled to so Go by legislative ac- one ‘ ARLY TRIALS, Police Prisoners Relieved by a River Excursion. Judge Kimball wanted to go down the river today, ard so the aers were giv- en an early hearing, and were not kept bunched In the cells so late in the day. They wished there was an excursion every day this summer, for then they would get away from court before the heat of the day.
