WILLIAM L. BROWNING
is APPOINTED RECEIVER
Named by Justice Mccoy to Take
Charge of White Gross
Milk Company.

William l.. Browning was appointed
today by Justice Mccoy of the Dis
trict Supreme Court as receiver of the
White Cross Milk Company, a Nir-
ginia corporation doing business here
and in Frederick, Md. The bond of the
receiver was fixed at $4,000.
The court also appointed the Conti-
mental Trust Company as substitute
trustee under bond issue of 100000.
given by the milk company in Sep
tember, 1913. following a reorganiza-
tion of the concern.
The appointment of the receiver is
based on a petition filed by F. Mer-
tens Sons as creditors and bondhold-
ers of the corporation. who tell the
court the company owes them $4,000.
of which $4,000 is said to be unse-
cured and long overdue. They allege
the financial condition of the milk
company has become desperate and it
is without funds to meet its current
expenses. The best interests of all
concerned will be subserved. it is
stated, by the appointment of re-
ceiver and the selection of a substi
tute trustee in place of the United
States Trust Company. named in the
bond issue.
Attorneys Bates Warren and w. II.
Sholes represented the creditors. At
torneys Douglas, Ruffin & Obear ap-
peared for the White Cross Milk Com
pany and consented to the receiver
ship.

Georgetown Peoples Views

I do not believe that any site select
ed would be entirely satisfactory to
every one, but l do believe that saith

OF Georgetown" said P. T. Moran. presi-

discussing the proposed new site. Mr..
Moran's place of business is in that sec

II think both Secretary Baker and
Gen. Black should be commended for
their careful efforts and their selection
OF what seems to me the most appro-
pirate site other than the present one"
added Mr.. Moran.

neighbors and friends said Albion X

Henry w. Offutt. a real estate bro
ker. with offices in Georgetown, charac-
terized the proposed site as the next
best outside of the present one" Mr.
Ofutt stated that he would certainly
prefer not to see the bridge built any
further to the east than at the street
named.
j. e. Dyer sta ted that he would pre-
fer to see the new bridge built farther
upstream. IF it is moved to 3Ith
street it will work decided injury to
the two squares that will be left above
ii and which now reap benefit from
the fact that the terminus is at Both
street.. said Mr.. Dyer. His place of
business is at S4th and NJ streets. and
he would undoubtedly be individually
benefited by the change. but thinks
for the good of the section as a whole
that the bridge should be located so
as not to leave the two important
squares above him "out in the cold"

. Would Remedy Congestion.

1T has been observed, however, that
congestion exists and inconvenience to
traffic from the use of the present
bridge largely because of physical con-
ditions at>the Georgetown end, which
cannot be changed without undue ex-
pense. If. however. the Georgetown
end be swung to the east and the
bridge be made to end on 34th street,
just south and at the level of NJ street.
while the Virginia end is kept close to
its present position, many of the OBJ
jections to the present bridge site will
disappear. Space will be available for
la proper bridge end plaza at each end.
In Georgetown access to the bridge
can be had from both east and west.
along NJ street; from the east later. if
desired, on L street. and from the
north on 34th street. The Engineer
Commissioner has informed me that
the existing rather steep grade on 34th
street between NJ street and Prospect
avenue (the next street north of M
can be reduced readily and an easy
grade made to N street. The entire To-
cation can be SO treated as to insure
good effects from an architectural point
Of view.
II. therefore, recommend that the new
Aqueduct bridge be constructed on a
line joining the intersection of NJ and
34th streets, Georgetown, with a point

Foot of a Street Site.

"(c) The next site above Is from the
foot of H street, Washington to Ross
lyn. This site is advocated most
strongly by residents of Virginia, who
are desirous of reaching the business
center of Washington by the most di-
rect route.
No offer to defray a portion of the
cost of the bridge on this or any site has
been made by Virginia. If the memorial
bridge be built, as contemplated. all of
the advantages to be derived from the
H street site will then be afforded, and
a more direct line from the business
center in Washington and the national
reservations at Arlington and Fort
Myer secured. The II street site is op-
posed by the representatives of the Dis
trict of Columbia and the bridge II built
the business interests of Georgetown.
l do not recommend this site.
"(d) The remaining two sites are %
the site of the existing bridge and (2)
from the existing bridge end at Ross
streets, Georgetown. The District
Commissioners favor either one of
these, as do the business interests of
Georgetown. These interests have been
built up through many years due to the
existence of the Aqueduct bridge, and
their claims cannot be dismissed light
ly. In addition. the existing street car
systems both sides of the Potomac
have been located with reference to the
Aqueduct bridge. They will serve for

Thinks Estimate Too Low.

He reports that the total sum pro-
posed to be authorized to be expended
for securing plans, for purchasing
lands, easements, etc, for building the
new bridge and for removing the old
one, namely, s1,l50.o0o, is too small. his
estimate of the cost of these items be-
ing S1,297, 900. He further states that
the sum of $4,000 provided in section
for the maintenance of the present
bridge pending the completion of the
new one also rs too small and esti-
mates that $4,000 will be required for
this purpose.
Five sites are suggested for the re-
constructed bridge.
"ta) The most northern is at the
islands known as Three Sisters about
200 feet above the existing bridge:
There is little to be said in favor of
this site. Proper approaches for the
District of Columbia end in particular
would be difficult and expensive to con-
struct.
"tb) The most southern is in pro-
longation of New York avenue. and is
known as the naval observatory site.
This site, If selected. would not fit in
with the existing. system of street car
lines and would not serve the interests
of Georgetown or of Rosslyn. A bridge
at this point would also interfere with
the plans for memorial bridge. This
site is not recommended.
