GARRISON PROMISES
AQUEDUCT REPORT
Secretary Says He Soon Will
Give Views to Congress on
New Bridge.

:. Secretary of War Garrison today
promised Senator Swanson and Con-
gressman Carlin OF Virginia 10 make
an early report 70 Congress on the bills
to appropriate q, 800 ,e0O for a new Aquc-
duct Bridge across the Potomac.
The bills provide for the location Of
the new bridge at some point between
7'hirty-sixth street, the present site, ana
Thirty-fcurth street and stipulate that
one. hair the cost shall be borne by the
Federal Government and one-half by
the District The committees in charge
of the bills are awaiting a report from
Secretary Garrison before reporting
Them out. Congressman Carlin was
confident today that Congress will pass
a bridge bill this session.
Secretary Garrison went on record
last year. in reporting on the CarIin
bill. as fayorinG the construction OF a
new aqueduct bridge. The Secretary
was noncommittal or a site in that re-
port. Tho Carltn bill failed Of pas
sage last year and was reintroduced.
The same bill vas introduced in the
Senate by Senator Swanson
The chief point at issue is over the
site for the bridge. Georgetown citizens
want the new bridge built on the site of
the present one. The Carlln bill pro-
vides for a site between Thirty-sixth
and Thirty-fourth. but not east of the
latter point. A third suggestion has
been made by army engineers that the
bridge should be built at the foot Of
II street This would divert all the
present traffic from virginia to George
town. and is vigorously opposed by
Georgetown residents. There is a fourth
suggested site, the Arlington memorial
bridge from a point near the Lincoln
Memorial to n point on the Virginia side.
near Lees mansion.
