SELECT MORISON'S DESIGN
The Commissioners Decide the
Bridge Contest.
They Ask Congress to Immediately
Appropriate S2S5 200 for the
Building of the Structure

The design OF Mr.. George s. Morrison for
| the proposed new Connecticut avenue
bridge over the Rock Greek valley, has
| been unanimously chosen by the District
Commissioners from the five submitted,
and their report was made yesterd day to
the Senate and House Committees on the
District.
The Commissioners review in their re-
port the promises of Congress for the COM
petition and the appropriation of $4,000
for prizes. The story of the competition,
as told heretofore. in The Times, is also
reyie wed at length. The competitors were
Messrs. George s. Morrison, L. L. Buck, and
w. H. Breitha npt. all Of New York.
The Commissioners say of their choice:
''In the selection of the most suitable from
among the submitted designs, the judg-
ment of the Commissioners was that the
masonry type was altogether the best,
provided it could be secured at cost not
prohibitive. The principal considerations
lea ding TO this decision were that the pro-
Gated on fine residence avenue. and in
full view of a large area within which
the National Geological Park, should be
of monume al alchsracter; and the ma sonry
tvpe. above all others. fulfilled this con-
dition as well as that of suita bility'
The design is for bridge l ,341 feet in
length, and 20 feet wide, with nine
arches. The piers and abutments rest
upon foundations carried to the solid
rock.
A conspicuous and chaTa cteTistic fea ture
OF the design is the construction Of
series of subordinate arches piercing the
spandrel walls of the principal arches and
resting upon them and on their launches.
This substitution for the usual full
spandrel facing has a very pleasing effect
of lightness, and is of material advantage,
economically.
Above these main and spa andrel arches is
a leveling bed OF concrete, on which is placed
a uniforindepth of about three feet of gravel
supporting an asphalt roa diva Y pavementof
the standard type laid in this city; within
the body OF this gravel provision can be
made, as in an ordinary street, for sub
way construction as may be desired, such as
electric suDWays' gas ana water MAINS, ana
so on.
The Commissioners recommended that the
Woodley lane bridge be removed and placed
on q lower bend at 4 point farther up the
stream. This bridge, they state, will be
supplanted for travel from the higher level
across the rayine, and in its present position
would bc a serious detrhnent to the beauty
of the new bridge. This change could be
made, they state, at n cost of 81 900.
The Commissioners recommend Mr.. Mo-
rison's original complete design. but believe
the modified and cheaper design submitted
byhim would be neNtm acceptable. They
recommend that III building the bridge he
should be cnplo yed demonstrating as engineer.
The report ends with the recommendation
that S2S5, 900 be appropriated Immediately
for beginning the work on the bridge.

POLICEMAN WITT NOT GUILTY.
He Is Acquitted of the Charge OF
Assaulting Alexander Hall.


Policeman Lee r. Witt was acquitted
in the police court yesterday by a jury
of having assaulted Alexander Hall in
Georgetown on October 10. The Govern
ment was represented iy Prosecuting At
torncy Mullow ney and the defense by Mr..
McNally.
The place where the assault was alleged
TO have been committed is a three-stor
building on North Twenty sixth street, the
second floor OF whic h is used as a place
for religious worship. On the night in
question, Hall admitted. he had been
drinking, but was not disorderly nor had
he done anything to cause the efenda Mt
to assault him.
The testimony of the witnesses for the
prosecution was accumulative and cor
roborated substantially thel statement
made by Iall. They all agreed that
Policeman Witt. in passing out of the
church, ordered Hall to stand aside and
not block the passage way. Hall, 1t was
said, obeyed without remonstrance. Witt
then, without further ado, ii was testi-
fled, struck Hall on the head with his
billy knocking him down.
Policeman Witt denied striking any
one.
In his address To the jury, Mr.. McNally
attacked the credlbility of the witnesses
for the prosecution, on the ground If
the sameness OF their versions of the af-
fair. Their testimony, he said, bore evi-
dence of being concocted for the special
purpose of downing the policeman, and
was on its face very improba bic. The
jury remained out about forty-fiye min
