Beeler for Belt Line to Serve 42000 Washington Workers
The Beeler plan proposes an Army and Navy Belt Line circling central Washington on a single fare with transfers to Capital Traction and Washington Railway routes. Government construction at Potomac Park and Sixth and B streets would cost about 650000 with potential government operation or joint company control to ensure one fare across the city. The belt would connect key government plants, pass near White House areas, and serve 71 400 residents within two blocks, plus twelve major department stores.
