viii Not Be Permitted to
Erect Platforms at South
End of Bridge.

Henry s. Breckenridge. acting Secre-
tary of War, to whom the matter was
referred by Secretary Garrison. has de-
MED the application of Crandal Mackey,
commemorative attorney for AleXan-
dria county Va, made in behalf of two
pawnbrokers of the District. for per-
mission to build a platform on the
southern or Virginia approach to the
Highway bridge across the Potomac.
That matter has been before the war

has been the subject of correspondence
with the Attorney General, the District
commissioners. the chief of engineers
of the army, the officer in charge OF
public buildings and grounds. the judge
advocate general of the army, MI.
Mackey and others.
Complicated Questions Involved.
Besides other things, it involved the
consideration of the question Of the
territoriality of the land at the N1r-
GINA approach to the Highway bridge.
At the suggestion of the Attorney
General however. the Secretary of war
withdrew the request for an opinion on
that point That was done to avoid
complicated legal actions "over mat

While the matter was pending. how

this city asked for an opportunity to
present evidence showing that the ap-
proach to the south end of the High

niZed as being within the jurisdiction
of the District of Columbia. He asked
also that he and James Z. Clements

Denial Of Application.
Gen. Bixby, chief of engineers, in a
report on the application of Attorney

his reports that the buildings to be
used in connection with the proposed
platform on the bridge approach had
been erected in order to evade law OF

Cosby also indicated in his report that
the territory in question probably is
within the District of Columbia.

Breckenridge concluded that the best
solution of the various problems in
volved was to deny the application

involved. and ne gave instructions to

cipal complaint was that the loud talk
ing of the boys walking and riding
through Bolivar disturbed him in his
peaceful slumbers. 1t seems to only con-
Germ him, for the rest of the citizens OF

he had, he said One
The mayor proudly announced to a
Star reporter that he had served in the
army. and that he had not seen any
thing like what had happened at Boil
war. which. as said before, amounted
principally to loud talking. Asked If
his company didn't have some raScals
in it, he tried to avoid the question. but
when pressed for an answer he admitted
that there were three of four ScampS there
who found time for mischief even though
the real war was going on. 1t was
pointed out to him that there was not
