PLANS FOR Potomac BRIDGE.-Sec-
retary OF War Root has acted on The
plnns of toe Baltimore and Potomac
Railroad Company for bridge across
the Potomac river to replace the o!d
Long Bridge. he has approved the
plans for the bridge proper, but has de-
ferred action upon the approaches to
the new structure. He bas, IN
other words, consented 10 the
construction OF bridge across the
channel, but hss withheld action on
the approaches to be constructed across
Potomac Park. The advocates OF the
Improvement OF Potomac Park, in con-
neclion with WashinRtoh's new park
system, are opposed to any action
which would throw the river park open
b. the use of the railroad company for
other purposes than merely crossing It,.
It is expected that the army board sp-
pointed to prepare plans for the high
way bridge will submit its report to
the War department this week.
