Plan Toll for New Depot At Washington Convention
Rail passenger and traffic agents in Washington discuss adding 20 to 35 cents to ticket prices for trips through the city to fund the new Union Station. The plan, to be revisited by the entering railroads, would apply except for fares under three dollars, with about a 2 to 9 percent rise for short passes. Seven lines would recoup roughly 500000 dollars spent on station construction, with the district and federal government sharing the rest of the station cost.

Bays Replacing White House Terrace Trees During Winter
During Roosevelt’s absence the east and west terraces at the White House are being changed from bay trees to wintergreen evergreens. The bay trees, shipped from Holland and about seventy five in number, could not withstand winter weather and will be removed over several days. A larger number of wintergreens will take their place, and a nearby old maple near Moorhead Road has died, awaiting removal, with further work expected soon.
