According to information received
from members of the administrative
board last night, the city may adopt
measures within the near future for
taking over the old Belt Line bridge
to be abandoned by the Atlantic Coast
Line and the Richmond. Fredericks-
burg and Potomac railways. and
make II connecting link between
the South Richmond communities on
the southern side of the river and the
suburbs lying on the northern side.
Nothing definite has been done but
authorities of the railroads have sig
nified their Willingness to turn the
bridge over TO the city under certain
conditions.
Tho two railroads have contracted
for the erection of half million dol

present structure, in order to more
adequately handle the increased traf-
tic from the South which Will come

The city has for a long time needed
just such an inlet for the traffic that
would come from the south side Of
the James river. and now has to GO
by a very circuitous route in order
to enter the city markets. The Belt
Line bridge could be repaired in such
way as TO furnish excellent provis-
ions for all necessary travel, and
would result in great convenience

Commissioner Hobson stated last
night that the board had the matter
under consideration. and had male
proposals to the railway authorities.

report To the board on the possi otuties

that he had been informed that rights

bridge. and that II was thought prob
