FOR OVERHEAD BRIDGE.
Meeting of Officials of Railways and
Citizen of Fairfax This Morning
To Discuss Project.

A meeting Of officials OF the Southern
and Washington Railways, commit
tee of Fairfaxians, Fairfax officials ant
others interested in the movemen
looking to the elimination of the dan
gerous grade crossing at Telegraph
road, adjoining this city, was held a
the rooms OF the Chamber of Commerce
in this city this morning.
Among thos; present were: G. Yer
non Ford, r. E. Thornton, Frank l.
Ballenger, Joseph Richardson, Walter
Roberts, ]. w. Roberts, E. S. Lead
beater, George Auld, G. X. Pickett,
| Walter Oliver, VIM. F. Downey, George
Smith, Phillip Boyd, and c. G. Thorn,
ton. B. Hermann, represented the
Southern and w. D. Duke the Wash
ington- Southern Railway.
Considerable time vas consumed in
the discussion of whether an overhead
or underground bridge was most de-
sirable at this point. Everyone from
Fairfax county. except Walter and j.
w. Roberts, were in favor Of the form
er.
The estimates as given by Mr.. Duke
we're S54 80 for the overhead bridge
and S44, 700 for the underground cross
ing. The objection 10 the latter rested
in the fact that considerable danger
would be incurred in travelling through
it at night as it would likely be the
lurking place OF tramps.
A great majority ut the first meeting
were DESTROYS OF having an overhead
bridge. Then it was that Mr.. Oliver
made the following motion:
Resolve, That subject TO the APP
proval OF the board of supervisors OF
Fairfax county, the sum Of so, 900 be
and it is hereby rendered as its share
OF the expense Of erecting an over
he I'd bridge and the necessary APP
proaches there over the tracks of the
railroads at the Telegraph Road eros.
sing near Alexandria 1t was adopted
unanimously.
According to the action the citizens
OF Fairfax county will pay as their
share in the construction OF S54 80
bridge, the sum of $4,000, leaving
500, 1000 to be paid by each OF the rail-
roads.
w. D. Duke. the assistant to the
president of the Washington Southern
Railway, and B. Hermann, representa-
tive of the Southern Railway, were of
the opinion that the companies will not
be willing to pay such large portion
OF the expense.
It was stated that the law provides
in the case OF the erection OF bridge
across railroad tracks, where there are
a reasonable number of tracks, the
county shall be compelled to stand one-
half oil the total expense.
Mr.. Oliver said that the law would
not apply to this case in that the rail
roads had extended their yards at the
expense of the county road.
A vote of thanks was rendered to the
Chamber of Commerce for the use OF
their rooms by the committees.
