ASK $4,000 MORE
FOR THE KEY BRIDGE
War Department Engineers Ap-
pear Before House Appro-
priations Committee.
FINAL PLANS ARE APPROVED
Call for SingIe-Deck Concrete
Arch Span With Two Dis
trict Approaches.
FINAL PLANS ARE APPROVED

Congress was asked today to add
$4,000 to the appropriation for the
new Key bridge, across the Potomac
river at Georgetown, increasing the
total appropriation for the bridge to
$1,451 900.
Brig. Gen. William NJ. Black, chief
of engineers, and Col. Charles Keller,
peared before the Appropriations
Committee of the House to make the
request.
This action was taken after the ap-
proval by Secretary of War Baker of
final plans for the construction of
the bridge.
SIngIe-Deek Bridge.
The plans as finally approved call
for the construction of a single-deck
concrete arch from a point near the
present terminus of the Aqueduct
bridge in Rosslyn to a point between
with two approaches on the George
town side, one connecting with N
street at Thirty-fourth street, and the
other connecting with Prospect ave-
nue. at Thirty-fifth street. The
Georgetown terminus of the present
AQueduct bridge is at Thirty-sixth
street.
High VIaduct.
The bridge will cross NJ street at
Thirty-fifth on a high viaduct lead
ing by a 90 per cent grade to Pros
pect avenue.
In adopting these final plans Secre-
tary Baker disapproved tentative
plans for a double-deck bridge, the
lower deck of which was to be de-
voted to car traffic. 1t was found 1t
ould cost $2,OOO,OOO to build the
double-deck bridge, or double the
sum appropriated.
As adopted the plans call for a
bridge eighty feet wide, which will
accommodate double car tracks and
adequately provide for other traffic.

MULE TRIES TO
ENTER HOUSE
UnruIy Animal BaIks at Work This
Morning and Leads Three Men
a Merry Chase on Des
Moines Street,

An unruly mule on the Des Moines
street paving job went on a strike
this morning and it took the com
bined efforts of three men to persuade
1t not to enter house in the neigh
borhood and to get it back to work.
This little interlude in the days work
attracted quite bit Of attention and
an audience of residents in the vicin-
ity watched with interest the antics of
the rebellious animal.
The mule baked on the job early
in the morning, eluded those who
were attempting to harness 1t and
trotted away from the scene, bent on
enjoying holiday. The animal pro-
ceeded half block up the street and
ran up over the slope and onto the
porch of house in the neighborhood.
The door was open and the mule
started to go in. The lady of the
house was too quick and slammed the
door In his face. Disappointed in
not getting into the house. the mule
stood pat on the porch and when a
teamster, who had in the meantime ar
rived, attempted to, take the animal
away, there was nothing doing. AS
sistance was signalled for and two
other men responded. By vigorously
applying themselves to the task, the
three finally impressed on the ami
mails mind the necessity of moving
and for the rest of the day he was do
cile enough.
