COMMITTEE SEEKS SITE
FOR &,0OO,OOO BRIDGE
Proposed Construction Over
the Potomac River, With
Draws Eliminated.

A site for a four -milliOn-dollar bridge
across the Potomac from the District of
Columbia to Virginia is being sought
by a subcommittee of the interstate
and foreign commerce committee of the
House Of Representatives. This bridge
proposition is entirely separate and
distinct from the proposal to extend a
memorial bridge from Potomac Park
to Arlington, and from developments
in the matter today. it is possible that
the interstate and foreign commerce
proposition may become an actuality
long before the proposed memorial
arch.
Memorial Bridge Progress.
The memorial bridge has progressed
to the extent of having a commission
created and funded with large sum
OF money to provide studies and plans
However, the interstate feature places
the building of a bridge within the
control Of the interstate and foreign
commerce committee, and members OF
that committee are not inclined to lay
aside their authority.
Little has been heard of the new prop
osition for the reason that the work on
it has been kept extremely quiet. Those
members who favor 1t declare that the
bridge they are proposing is an edifice to
stand for all time. They also want a
bridge without a draw, as their idea is
that twice as good q bridge without a
draw can be erected for the same money
as a bridge requiring a draw. If the road
way Of the proposed bridge could be
raised to b height of seventy-hve or
eighty feet above the river. it is probable
the bridge would be proposed to Congress.
Feature Under Discussion.
This is one Of the features the COM
nittee is discussing now. II 1t Is found
that only a few vessels year would be
required to unload on the downstream
side of such a bridge the matter would
aot be considered serious enough to pre-
vent the big span being thrown across to
The Virginia side.

He said that some action undoubtedly
would be taken within a short time, and
intimated that It probably would take
the form Of an attack on the increased

Mr. Hoover's brief asking for a reduction
Of the rates on the goods carrying free
delivery was filed with the commission
about ten days ago.
The commission having refused to
order the service continued, Mr.. Hoover
said he would fight for reduction of
the rates with the idea that if he is
successful in having the commission
order them reduced the railroads will
restore the delivery service rather than
reduce the rates. He also declared that
he will ask for a reparation of the dray-
age charges during the interim between
today and the date on which the COM
mission decides the case. He has figured
that 1t will cost the merchants CENTS q
hundred pounds to transport the freight.
