ADEQUATE. The establishment of a
single track car line, it is sal9'. made
the too narrow bridge so crowded
ihat at times raffc is blocked.

double track system is favoref 1t Is
pointed out that thousands OF peaeS-
,ri:irs clcSs the bridge daily and then
Il ,-r2e part CT the city's freight Is
carried by wagon across it.

War Department regar:":ng congeS'
ton of traffic at phe Virginia side OF
the bridge is mentioned. Some retAe'

serious public necessity exists for the
Immediate Improvement Of the bridge
