B. & @. WANTS TO
BUILD A BRIDGE

Anticipating the rapid srowth of the
city northward and seeking TO be pre-
pared for the ultimate extension OF the
city far beyond its tracks, the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad Company is seeking
permission to elevate its tracks over
Eighteenth street extended
Plans Of the railroad for bridging the
street were disclosed this morning when
Chief Engineer Tinsman appeared before
the Street and Sewer Directors and sought
permission to erect a steel and wood
bridge over its tracks across the street
The Street and Sewer Directors would
not consider the plans proposed by the
railroad for the bridge, believing that they
provided for too narrow a structure The
directors have decided to place no more
extensions or streets on the city map less
than 50 feet wide They demanded that
any bridge contemplated should provide
for 36-foot roadway and l4-foot side
walk The directors and the engineers de-
cided TO confer further as to the proposed
bridge.
