Bundy Is equally convinced OF the
unfairness Of opposition 10 the par
ticuIar proposition Of cowen Park
bus line.
This opposition" he said, grows
out Of the claim of the residents OF
other sections OF the city that Cowen
park wants special transportation
privileges. This is not fact.
~Cowcn park merely wants some
transportation-so which the
city has an obligation TO furnish IT,
inasmuch as 1t took over the street
car lines and abolished the jitneys
We naturally prefer a motor bus
service-but that isn't the point.
TT has been brought out ut
council hearings that IL would
cost from sl50.O0O to 500. 900 TO
extend the car lines to serve the
four square miles In Cowen park
which now has no Transports ion
and this would be such long
haul that It could not be operat-

"On the other hand, bus serv-
Ice could be established at a cost

Change In Highway
Important Change in Virginia Route

Important Change in virginia Route
Washington, D. c. May 13.-The
executive committee Of the Lee High
way Association, which is directing
the building of the memorial road
from New York to New Orleans AMI
San Francisco, today announced i'm
portant changes in the route of the
r;ghtway through Virginia.
1t will follow Southwest diagonal
to New Orleans. A year ago it was de
c;ded to run the Virginia section from
Washington through Alexandria to
Winchester by a Northwest direction,
and thence Southwest down the Val
ley of Virginia.
In order to make the Virginia line
harmonic with the general South
west diagonal of the highway, the eX-
ecubive committee today directed that
| it should extend from Washington
across the New Key Bridge to Falls
, Church and thence oy the most direct
route to Fairfax Courthouse.
i From the latter point it will proceed
! by the two Manassas battlefields to
i Wlarrenton, Sperryville and Luray to
New-Market, where i; will join the
original line down the valley of Viz
gin!a.
