"The Free Bridge Question:"

To the Editor of THE EVENING STAR:
An article with the above heading in The
STAR of last Thursday informs us that there are
still distractions In the way of a free bridge
across the Potomac at Georgetown. After all
that has been done by the courts to settle the
question of ownership in the piers upon which
l. supported the miserable. Old rotten aqueduct
structure there are still difficulties and obstruc
lions sufficient to work ruinous and unreason-
able delay, If not ultimately to defeat the
people most interested in this question of their
rights. Too long already have we
been defrauded of these rights. And
by whom? By parties who have
no interest in common with us, and who. in
reality. are our common enemies; the very
parties who are now claiming ownership and are
In conflict over this old aqueduct structure
The people must continue to pay toll, and
suffer, and wait. until these gentlemen shall
settle Their quarrel and decide how the money
that generous Congress has given the people
for the erection of bridge on another site
shall be divided among themselves. And
another question Who are Messrs. Lacey and
Sypherd and Graham. who are assuming
to engineer this business? Have they
had delegated to them by the people of
Alexandria county powers plenipOtentiary to
bring this quarrel to successful issue and force
the people into their views? They seem to be
ignorant of the fact that Congress made an ap-
preparation ana authorized the building of
bridge at the Three Sisters" and of the further
fact that seven-eighths of the people of the
county want the bridge at that point. 1t is the
natural and proper place for a bridge and had
1t not been for the Offciousness of these gentle
men on the one hand and the cupidity of the
lessees of the Alexandria aqueduct on the other.
We should have long since had structure well
on its way at that point. Here, we are told
road could he constructed through beautiful
and picturesque country with an easy grade of
not more than foot to the mile and at a very
triiling cost. This is the road that would be
universally preferred and travelled by the cti-
zans OF Falls Church and beyond. Congress had
better pass law of condemnation of the Aque-
duct bridge, pay the lessees what is right. and
no more. and set it on fire. After possession is
had of the piers it will cost twice as much to
build bridge there as at the Three Sisters on
account of the greater span of the river at that
point. If Congress wants to do the right thing
by the people and settle this question. let them
adopt the recommendation of Mr. Albert. and
appropriate an additional $4,000 for the sub
stantial iron bridge proposed by him at the
Three Sisters. 1t will be saving of money in
the end. as bridge on the piers of the Aoue-
duct will cost before completion 100000
