ALEXANDRIA, Va, February IA, 1906
At the regular semi-monthly meeting or

ordinances providing for further imprSSe-
nients of the city streets were introduced
and referred to the committee on streets

NEARLY READY TO BEGIN.
Preparations About Complete for
Highway in Alexandria County.

The War Department Is making plans for
a new road to Arlington and Fort Myer by
way of the new Highway bridge. Gen.
HUMPHREYS and the board of supervisors
of Alexandria county, Va, have been en-
gagged for several weeks past in looking
over the lines from the bridge to the ceme-
terry and they have practically settled upon
survey.
1t is said the new road will commence
from the southern end of the bridge, and
running directly south to a point near the
old Alexander Island race course, will make
a short turn back in northwesterly d.
rectfon for short distance, then making
another detour In westerly direction viii
take a direct course through the Island
and the Dodge estate to the southern en-
trance to Arlington cemetery.
1t is understood the project of the new
road was approved by the officials of the
War Department through the influence OF
the Grand Army of the Republic. atten-
ton having been directed to the rapid
growth and CONGESTION of traffic over NJ
street Georgetown, and the Aqueduct
bridge which, 1t was stated, greatly inter-
feres with the progress Of funeral parties
to the cemetery, and especially those with
military escort. Because of the double car
tracks from Rock creek to the bridge and
the Immense traffice of heavy hauling
the citizens OF Georgetown, and especially
the business element, realize the urgent
necessity for relief. the Aqueduct bridge
being entirely inadequate to accommodate
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1906-02-14

all of the traffic in prospect during the bust
ness hours of the day. The establishment of
several business institutions and factories
at Rosslyn in the past few years has added
much to the heavy traffic at this point.
Already there is a large freight yard of
the Pennsylvania railroad, several dumping
grounds for as many coal and wood enter
prises, two or three oil companies, two SUI
burban trolley railroads, brewery and
bottling establishment slaughter and pack
ing house, brick yard, lumber yard and mill
and other industries, together with an i'm
portant military post, wherein are quar-
tered two batteries of artillery and three
troops of cavalry. all of which contribute
to make the Aqueduct bridge a very busy
structure and test its capacity.
When the new road Is opened TO the pub
lie the congestion at this point will be
greatly relieved. Besides the fact that the
military at Fort Myer will take advantage
of the new route all funerals TO Arlington
will be directed that way, and together
with the advantage it will offer to other
persons wishing more direct route to the
center of the city much relief is expected.
1t is said that a railroad syndicate has
already negotiations under way for the
construction of trolley railway over this
route to Arlington and Fort Myer which
will connect with the city roads.
