Gated on Good Hope Hill. and Smith

horse belonging TO Sontag, in order to
carry away his burden.
Policeman Mike Raedy got after the
negro ard chased him on horseback for
about a mile Raedys horse thew him
and he went sprawling in the road. He
then chased the negro afoot. Smith
overtakcn. hastily dismOunted and
Jumped through 4 barbed wire fence,
dragging the two bags or chickens with
him and tearing piece out OF his coat.
He took the chickens into the woods
near the Bowen Road and then started
walking along as though he had never
seen a chicken or horse in his life.
Raedy. who picked up the piece OF the
ncgrO's coat which was left on the fence,
saw him on the Bowen Road, and after
fitting the snagged piece of cloth. which
was the same color az the coat which
Smith wore. into a hole the same size,
he arrested the negro.

ture Submitted.
TO COST WITHIN S250,0oo
Secretary of War Asked to Approve.
Work to Begin as Early as
Possible.

| The reconstruction of the Anacostia
Bridge Will be started as soon as posi-
Die, and, according to a recommendation
from Capt Jay J. Morrow. assistant &c
the Engineer Commissioner. the new
structure Will not have a draw" but
VIII be built so as TO allow the river
craft to go under IL without trouble
The amount of the appropriation avail
able on the work this fiscal year is
$4,000. The appropriation act provides
that the total cost Of the structure shall
not exceed s250, 900.
Description Submitted.
Captain Morrow's recommendation is
contained in a letter which he prepared
to be sent to the Secretary of War ask
| ms II the Secretary would approve of
the following described bridge:
structure consisting of several steel
arches OF equal span (Detween $50 and
20 feet long,, approximately on the site
OF the present bridge.
II IS proposed 10 carry the moor Of
the bridge at about IS feet above low-tide
ieyel which would pernltt or the arches
oelnS sprung from the piers at about 10
feet above low tide, and would allow of
from 4 10 % or q feet clearance 1T tie
crown.
Space for All Craft.
1T is estimated that a clearance Cf
twenty feet will permit the passage of
all local craft with some such adapta-
ton as hinged stack in the case Of the
largest tugs; and il is believed that the
small amount and character of the traf-
fic. looking well into the future, would
indicate that this clearance is sufficient.
and that the type without draw span is
most TO be desired
The Secretary is then asked If he will
approve plans drawn for the bridge
giving maximum clearance of twenty
one feet above low water, and minimum
spans OF l5D feet. IL IS pointed out that
the great advantage of such structure
Hes IN the fact that II will eliminate
the unwieldy and unsightly draw
which often acts as hindrance TO
traffic.
Plans TO Be Prepared.
If the Secretary OF War gives his
approval to the suggestions of Captain
Morrow, the plans for the bridge will
soon be prepared on the lines sug-
gested.
The prospect of the dangerous Ana
costa Bridge being replaced by a new
one Is welcomed ny those who have TO
traverse il. For many years IL has been
regarded as serious menace 10 life,
and was so reported 10 Congress by En-
gineer Of Bridges Douglas and the Dis
trict Commissioners.
