ment resorts at Hi1lsdale, D. c., to

NEW BRIDGE FUND
LARGELY INCREASED
Appropriation Raised t
s2,100,000 by House
Yesterday.

The authorized appropriation for
building the new bridge at George
town to replace the Aqueduct bridge
by the House in passing the bill ia
thered by Representative r. Walton
Moore, democrat. of Virginia. Only
the day before the House approved an
appropriation of 100000 in the sun
dry civil appropriation bill to help
meet the increasing cost of construc-
tion as being carried forward by the
Army engineers. The total appropria-
tion for the bridge to date is $780,
900. leaving $450,000 to be appropri-
ated.
Chairman Esch Of the House COM
mittee in charge Of this bill pointed
out that the bridge is wholly within
federal jurisdiction. He said: The
bridge will serve q very needed pur-
pose, and it would be indeed a foolish
thing il we left it in its present I'M
completed condition.. subject to de-
terioration of the structure, as Well
as deterioration Of the materials now
on the ground. Every reason in the
world justifies the completion OF this
necessary structure at the earliest
convenient date. 1t is the most used
highway between the District OF Co.
.lEn0ia and Arlington and Fort Myer.
both of them government properties
For these reasons the committee was
persuaded that we should approve an
authorization increasing the Original
amount from 100000 to $2.10o 900.
Prospect that the bridge Will pc
given a real historic name was en-
phasized during the debate. Ref.
erence was made to the proposal OIL
Representative James r. Mann. re"
publican, of Illinois, which was IN
eluded as an amendment in the sun
dry civil bill. that it should be called
THE Georgetown bridge"
Representative Moore said in TINS
connection: Il do not oppose the
proposition Of the gentleman from
Illinois (Mr. Mann). SO far as the
name is concerned. Perhaps. how
ever. it would not be a mistake to
give the bridge the name adopted by
the War Department in honor OF the
author Of The Star Spangled Banner
or it has occurred to me that it might
very properly be called the George
Mason BRIDGE in honor. of great
statesman who has no monument
here. 1 think Mr.. Mason once owned
the land at the south end of the
bridge. But such is my anxiety to
see the bridge completed that leave
to other gentlemen-very cheerfuily
leave to them-the matter OF de-
termining how the bridge shall be

the layman gets as he drives through
the county. This has been a wonder
tul year for the growing of tobacco
Although the spring was late, and the
planters did not get their plants out
early, the seasons lately have beer
so good that the crop is coming of
about the usual time. Some years in
the past there have been hard rain
storms and hail storms. too, that have
injured the tobacco. but this year
nothing of the kind has happened
due To the splendid work of the gov
eminent experts. there has been very
little damage from insects.
The farmers have already sold
their crops and the prices have never
been better. Shade tobacco has
brought as high as S125 a pound
Some farmers expect an average
of 1900 pounds 10 the acre. A good
many will go above that average, and
some, of course. viii fall below.
Sun tobacco brought as high as 46
