Correction of Statement That the Metropolitan Company Declines a Proposed Route of Extension. In a report made to Congress ty the Dis- trict Commissioners last week upon the subject of street railway facilities for Co- lumbia Heights and Mount Pleasant, they stated that a proposed route for the ex- tension of the tracks from 18th street and Columbia road, along Lanier avenue ex- tended into Mount Pleasant, had been of- fered to and declined by the Metropolitan Railroad Company, and subsequently offer- ed to and accepted oy the Capital Traction Company. The olficiais of the Metropolitan company claim now that the company was Rot correctly understocd in the matter, and today the Commissioners received a letter from President Weaver of the company, in which he says the statements made by the Commissioners in their report to Congress not only did him great Injustice, but are also misleading. in respect of the position of his company. The Commissioners reported as follows in reference to the inatter to Congress: “The president of the Metropolitan road inform- ed the Commissioners that his company would not be willing to construct the slightest extension of the trolley system, nor would it, unless compelled by Congress, lay the underground system through any recently opened streets, and that his com- pany would accept no other route than the one through Columbia road and 16th street extended. Referring to this statemest of the Com- missioners, Mr. Weaver wrote today that the interview, which was had with Com- missioners Wight and Black, was of an en- tirely informal character. President Weaver's Explanation. “I had called,” continues Mr.Weaver, “‘on Capt. Black to make inquiry concerning a permit for work on Florida avenue that was being done. The subject of the north- ern extensions of the company’s lines was irtroduced by Capt. Black, who was dis- tinctly informed that the company could rot express any opinion or take any further action in respect of the extensions until the views of the Commissioners were made known to them, as they had in various ways, orally and in print, set forth their wishes and purposes. I did say that the cempeny did not desire to use the over- head system, but did desire that they should make their report to the District commit- tee; but I was not authorized, nor did I undertake to say, what the company in- tended or would be willing to do in the matter. It was certainly not my intention to make any statement that could be used with or witrout the knowledge of the Cap- ital Traction Company as a basis for a declaration that this company had refused to construct lines which the traction com- pany was willing to undertake. Mr. Weaver, after calling attention to a resolution adcpted by the board of dire¢- tors of his company, says: “I beg you will understand that if your recommendations were based upon the sup- position that the directors of this company had determired to reject the suggestions or recommendations contained in Capt.Beach’s report, that supposition is entirely errone- ous, as they have never seen it, nor known its contents until today.” ‘The resoluticn of the board of directors of the company referred to by Mr. Weaver directed him to inform the Commissioners that the directors read the report of the Cemmissioners with great surprise; that they have never considered, or had an op- portunity to consider, the recommendations made by the Commissioners; that they have never determined that the road would ac- cept no other routes than those referred to in the report, and that the directors have taken Capt. Beach’s report under im- mediate consideration and will at once in- form the Commissioners of their views thereon. Hardly Justified Conclusions. Weaver, accompanied by Mr. Na- thaniel Wiison, the attorney of the com- pany, called upon the Commissioners soon Mr. % * % % e Spring “Openi - Pp netics g : Dp : 3TJOMORROW’S practical Souvenirs of - the occasion include a special 10 per ; cent discount in the Suit and Wrap - Departments.

As the result of today’s conference, the Commissioners addressed a letter to Chair- man Babcock of the House District com- mittee, explaining that they have been in- formed by the president and attorney of the Metropolitan company that the impres- sion received by the Commissioners in the interview expression of the company, but simply a statement by one of the company’s officers, with Mr. Weaver was not the speaking individually. Also, that they con- according to Mr. Weaver's recollection, his statement hardly justified the conclusions arrived at by the Commis. siot.ers. The Commissioners explained to Repre- semtative Babcock that they made today’s report in order that no injustice might be done the company. They forwarded a copy of Mr. Weaver's letter to them, and also a copy of the resolution adopted by the board of directors In the matter, concluding their communication as follows: ‘In all other respects the report of March 18, above re- ferred to, will stand as submitted, and the Commissioners see no objection to grant- ing permission to either of the roads which Congress shall decid® upon to occupy the route named and in the manner suggested.’ + Spring and Summer Finery.

The occa- sion was the opening of the new millinery department and of the new stocks of spring and summer goods.
