ACTION TAKEN TO MAKE
v|AOUCI FREE OF TOLL
Administrative Board VIII Send
Ordinance to Council to Secure
Use OF Marshall-Strcct Bridge.

In final effort to bring the Vir-
ginia Railway and Power Company to
terms in the matter of charging tolls
for vehicles over the Marshall Street
Viaduct. the Administrative Board
yesterday took aggressive action.
Chairman Hirschberg offered reso-
luton directing a suitable ordinance
to be sent to the Council through the
Mayor, asking that an easement be
declared for a right of way on the
viaduct so as to permit free traffic
for all vehicles.
For a considerab BILE length of time
the Council has tried to bring the
street car company to the point of
agreement in regard to the use OF the
bridge, but their efforts have met with
no success.
If the Council should act favorablv
in the matter. the legality of its ac-
ton would be tested in the courts
and would be eventually upheld. 1t is
thought In this event. commission
ers will be appointed in the Hastings
Court to fix the compensation to be
allowed the railway company for the
use of the bridge by the city
That the railway company will fight
the matter bitterly is evident. since
a passage of such an ordinance would
open the bridge TO the use of jitneys.
and thus reduce the car companys
revenues considerably in this district.
Residents of that section of the city
east OF the viaduct are looking for
ward eagerly to the favorable passage
OF their relief measure.
