The report is enthusiastic in the

bodies.
Cardinal Gibbons was interviewed
soon after the organization of the
commission. and he expressed
friendly interest in the subject. He
indicated his conviction that clear
statements of positions would show
them to be nearer together than had
been supposed. Similar sentiments,

Cardinal Farley, and by number Of
cardinals, archhishops, bishops and

PoRTANr QUESTION.
MAYO BRIDGE OUTLET

Thirty-five minutes time of Messrs
Pollock, Gunst, Nielsen. Haddon Mills,
Powers. Moore. Vondolehr and Fuller.
of the street committee of the city
council was taken up yesterday after
noon in a discussion as to grade fer
the approach to Mayo bridge on the
Southside, leading from Hun street,
There has been contention for
some time as to the ownership of the
bridge over the canal at that point
The city has been called upon on seS-
eral occasion to repair the bridge
which heretofore has been claimed by
the Virginia Railway and Power COM
pany as It's property. Since these re-
pairs have been made the question
has arisen as to the ownership.
The Railway and Power company
declares that as the city took it upon
itself to repair the bridge after two or
three mules and trucks had fallen
through, then the bridge Is now the
property of the city. and the company
has nothing to do with Its repairs or
its removal.
Various owners of property con-
tiguous to the bridge wished the COM
mittee to designate some permanent
grade so that future improvements
might he made in accordance with
that grade
The city engineer suggested that a
permanent grade be fixed.
Some members of the committee de-
sired a temporary grade with the
idea In view of giving the property
owners the privilege of either build
ing up to the temporary grade at this
time. or building above that grade,
SO that, in the future probably ann
or distant, the city may be held@harm
less.
The city engineer emphasized his
contention that the city should now
place the permanent grade, so that
there might be :, no damages in the
future,
He said that he did not think the
city should place either itself or
its citizens In the position OF having
TO ask for damages at any time.
In order 20 look further into the
question the matter went over to the
next regular meeting of the commit
tee, and City Engineer Boiling was
requested TO present Il priority ~ tfrc
street. so that the members OF the
committee might see what is what.
