TO ANACOSTIA By FERRY
PROPOSED BY CITIZENS
Plan for Establishing Service Across
Eastern Branch at South
Capitol Street.

Plans for establishing a ferry across
the Eastern branch were discussed by
citizens of southeast Washington, Ana
costa and Congress Heights at meet
ing held last night in Donohoe's Hall, oi4
Pennsylvania avenue southeast.
1t is proposed that the ferry be oper-
ated from the foot Of South Capitol
street to the opposite shore. near the
grounds Of the Government Hospital for
the Insane. Application has been made
to the War Department for permission to
operate such a service and the unofficial
approval Of the department has already
been given the proposition. Before the
project can be ofacially Endorsed, the pro-
motors must file with the War Depart
ment maps showing the exact location Of
all landings and the line Of the ferry
service.
Stock Company Proposed.
In order to operate the ferry it is pro-
posed to organize a stock company. The
ferry is not intended as q money making
scheme, however.
]. H. Adriaans, who is directing the
movement. stated that the real reason
for wanting to establish q ferry service
was to demonstrate to Congress the
need Of q suitable bridge near the pro-
posed ferry route. He stated that the
ferry service would be discontinued
upon the construction Of bridge.
Representative Smith Of Maryland has
introduced In the House a bill provid-
ing for the construction of a bridge.
No action can be secured on the bill un.
til the regular session of Congress-.
Those interested in the building of the
bridge propose In the meantime to con-
vince Congress Of its necessity.
A bridge will save the residents OF
Anacostia and Congress Heights who
work in Washington about twenty 1--WE
minutes in getting to and from their
work, it is declared.
