FINDS A PROBLEM IN
BRIDGE REGULATION
Commissioner Kutz Discusses
Aqueduct Traffic With
Business Men.

Whether or not relief can be afforded
Washington and Rosslyn. Va. business
men in modification of the police
regulation limiting weight of trucks,
including loads. on Aqueduct bridge to
six tons was admitted by Engineer
Commissioner Kutz this afternoon to
be "knotty" problem and one which
will require careful investigation be-
fore a decision can be reached.
Representatives of number of bust
ness houses and interests across the
river who discussed the matter at a
formal hearing before Commissioner
creased to twelve tons, claiming that
their business will be injured unless
this is done.
Fear to Increase Tonnage Limit.
The Commissioners, on the other hand.
fear that to increase the tonnage limit
without repairing the bridge. for which
no funds are now available, would en-
danger traffic and the lives of persons
who use the bridge.
However. they are anxious to remedy
the situation if possible and will look
carefully into the situation with this
object in view, Commissioner kutz said.
Enforcement of the six-ton limit reg
ulation has been in progress but
short time, due principally to the in
creases in the weight of trucks now
used by commercial firms. The prin-
cipal danger from the operation of
these heavy vehicles Is to the floor sys-
tenn of the bridge. To lay new joists
and flooring would entail an expense
of about $4,000, and the District is not
in a position to assume such an obli-
CATION.
Traction Portion Stronger.
The portion of the bridge used by
street cars was specially constructed
for heavier traffic, so that no danger Is
felt in this connection.
The Commissioners have included in
their estimates an item for plans for
4 new Aqueduct bridge. but at the
earliest such structure could not be
provided for two or three years.
So the engineer department is going
to proceed as far as it can In relieving
the present condition complained OF

Injury to Many Towns.
Attorney Crandal Mackey presented
the complaints of the business men
against continued enforcement Of the
six-ton order.
Among the companies represented
were the Allegheny Coal Company. the
Standard, Columbia, Penn and Texas
Oil companies. Merchants Transfer.
Anderson Auto. Columbia Granite and
Dredging Company and others.
1t was stated that enforcement of the
regulation had forced the Rosslyn Sup
ply Company to remove it's business
from Rosslyn to Washington and that
irreparable injury would be done other
firms unless the order is modified.
