No traffic will be allowed on the
Aqueduct Bridge in Georgetown be-
tween midnight tomorrow and mid
night Friday. according to Major
Lunsford Il. Oliver. who Is superin-
tending the building of the new
bridge now under construction there.
If arrangements can be made pcdes-
trians will be allowed TO cross sthe
bridge, but vehicles will be prohib-
ited.
The reason for the suspension OF
traffic il that there Is FIJI at the
south end OF the bridge that must
be removed before the arch on the
Virginia side can be put up. In order
to remove that fill, a ninety-foot
girder or approach span must be
erected. With this span in opera
tion, all traffic must be suspended
Ma jor oliver declared.
Work on the erection OF the girder
of the approach span will be started
tomorrow night and will be COM
pleted by midnight Friday.
Railway service on the Washing
ton and Old Dominion Railway Com;
pany will be suspended during the
operation. Major oliver declared to-
day that IL arrangements can be
made, the cars of the railroad will
cross halfway over the bridge on the
Washington side and allow the pas
sengers to walk across on the span
and transfer to the Virginia side.
, we have to be perfectly sure that
this will not interfere in any way
with our work and that the vibration
of the bridge, caused by the cars, will
not be too great" declared Major
oliver.

been making an inspection trip over
the system with a dozen or so Of his

they're here they'll get together and
go through the form Of picking out

I'm going to give Dunton his
chance. He can appoint the man
