PLANS FOR MEMORIAL BRIDGE
Colonel Allen reports on River Inn
provements.


Colonel Allen, who has charge Of the
dredging of the Potomac River, expects to
submit plans in a few days for the con-
struction of the Memorial Bridge across
the Potomac from the Naval Observatory
to the Arlington reservation, for which
Congress appropriated $1,000. Since the
appropriation the War Department has
been giving the matter careful attention.
In a recent report to the Chief of Engi-
neers Colonel Allen called attention to
the needed repairs on Long Bridge. The
work of repairing the bridge was discon-
tinued during the Spanish war On account
of the heavy traffic. The foundations to
the bridge have become defective, and
other repairs were recommended. The re-
port also speaks of the dredging of the
Potomac by Contractor Clegg. This work
was practically suspended during the month
of March. Recent soundings show that
the channel dredged during the fall and
winter has not filled up. Bids for the re-
construction of the pier at the bridge will
be opened on the eth instant.
