The @ Street Bridge Movement Re
ing Again ASitRted.

agitating the Q Street bridge movement.
Some time ago petition was sent to the
Commissioners requesting that the mat

traffic across them, causing the other
bridges to be unduly crowded. The con-
struction of bridge at Q Street, it is
said, would not only relieve the congested
condition of the other bridges but would
make a very pleasant drive, connecting
as it does the residence portions of both
Washington and Georgetown.

Rock Creek have entered complaint to
the Commissioners against the practice
