FINE ARTS BOARD
APPROVES Of PLAN
FOR NEW BRIDGE
Slight Changes Will Be
Made In Structure Across
Rock Creek.

The Fine Arts Commission has for
mally approved plans for the new $780,
900 concrete bridge which is to cross
Rock Creek at Q street. The commits
sion suggests, however, that the over
hang on each side of the structure be
narrowed by two feet. The Engineer
Department OF the District, it was an
nounced today. has ordered that the
plans be altered accordingly.
The original plans provided for over
hangs nine feet In width. The COM
mission decided that this would give
the bridge a heavy appearance. Four
bronze buffalo. designed by A. Phimis-
ter Proctor. Of New. York, will decor
ate the approaches to the bridge. Mr..
Proctor is regarded by many as the
leading animal sculptor Of the day and
Is the designer Of the tigers on the Six
teenth street bridge.
Work on the construction of the
bridge will begin as soon as the pro-
ceedings for the condemnation of the
approaches to the structure are COM
pleted. Two years will be required to
build the bridge. Plans for the bridge
were drawn In the office of T. c. J.
Bailey, engineer of bridges. Glenn
Brown is the advisory architect.
