WOULD APPORTION COST

Declaring that the present Aqueduct
bridge, spanning the Potomac at
Thirty-sixth street northwest, Is in
adequate for trafio and structurally
dangerous" the Commissioners yes
terday evening sent to the Interstate
and Foreign Commerce Committee of
the House . favorable report on the
Carlin bill, providing for the immedi-
ate oonstruction Of a nsw bridge.
The features of the report are:
l. That the cost Of the new bridge
be apportioned between the Federal
and District governments.
Z. That Jurisdiction over the new
bridge be transferred from the Secre-
tary of War to the Commissioners.
3. That the 100000 mentioned in
the bill for the obtaining Of plans be
made available for emergency repairs
to the present bridge. pending com-
pletfon of the new structure.
The construction OF the proposed
new bridge would bo very advantage
Gus to the residents Of the District
and an equitable portion of the cost
should be borne by the District of Co.
lumbia,- reads the report The Com
missioners suggest that the cost OF
the bridge be apportioned between the
District of Columbia and the United
states, as other like joint expendi-
lures have been apportioned.
Section 8 of the bill authorizes the
Secretary OF War to permit the use
and occupation by electric railways
OF such portions OF the bridge as ne
may think desirable upon such terms
as he may think proper.
The Commissioners believe that
when the bridge is constructed It
should be transferred to their turis-
dlction, and that the duties imposed
by Section on the Secretary of War
should devolve upon them. All other
bridges in the District, with the ex-
ception of the Highway bridge and
the substructure of the present AQue-
duct bridge are placed by law under
control of the Commissioners.
Representative Carlin's bill pro-
vides that the new bridge shall cost
not more than $i.5oo.ooo.

DEMOCRATS SEEK
EWPRIMARYLAW
Leaders in District Want Le-
galized Status in National
Convention.
WILL ASK LEGISLATION
No Candidates. Out Yet for Primaries
Which Will Be Held Late.
Says Costello.
WILL ASK LEGISLATION

Prominent Democrats in the District
are using their influence with members
OF the present Congress to obtain a le-
galized primary. This is the assertion
of National Committeeman John F. Cos
tello.
I'VE would like to have this question
passed upon before the next primary
date" said Mr.. Costello yesterday. We
honestly believe that we should at least
have a legalized say In the naming of
our six delegates and alternates to the
national convention.
Under the present law-or, rather, ab-
sence OF isw-we can have nothing TO
do with q national convention but It
does not differentiate between US and
the people of the Philippine Islands. This
leeway given us Is appreciated. but we
all think we should have a place made
for District Democrats in those conven-
tions by law, instead Of by the will of
the party committee
II have talked with several Senators
and they are In favor OF allowing us
the legislation. I do not know just
how the question will be taken up. but
1t may be as rider to the sppropria-
ton bill"
Asked regarding the candidates for
the coming Democratic primaries. Mr..
Costello asserted that, so far as he
knew, there had been no candidates an
nounced. I'm fact. 1t may be some weeks
before anything can be said as to these, -
he said. I'VE have little wranglins in
the Democratic party OF the District
and presume there will not be as much
contention in the District this year over
the Democratic delegates and alternates
to the National Convention as there was
four years ago. We expect TO have the
prlme ries late.
You may say for me that the same
regulations will govern this voting this
year as has in the past Our central
committee and Judges in the election
make all their accountings OF the vote
