TO URGE BRIDGE ACROSS RIVER
AT FOOT OF CANDLES HILL
Nunnay Will Introduce Resolution at Next Session of
Aldermen, Providing for Its Construction by
City-No Tolls to Be Charged

Alderman Joseph G. Nunnally said
yesterday thai he would at the next
meeting OF the Board of Aldermen
introduce resolution providing for
The erection by the city OF n bridge
across James River at a point be-
tween Woodland Heights and Gam
h!e s HiIl. designed for commercial
and individual traffic. Alderman
Nuhnaiiy said last night that the
congestion i'll Cary Street and lower
HUI street alone warranted the
the points mentioned. He said the
idea Of placing the structure at an
hhuttinB point in the center OF the
business section was apparent. 1t
drew the people and the merchants
closer and by taking portion of
the dTayage from :hc Fourteenth
street Bridge the congestion along
Cary and Main Streets would, nat
urally. be brought TO Il minimum
me proposed bridge. according to
alderman Nunnally, will be erected
on city property. and would not
connict with the opinions Of those
VINO do not want bridge entering
Il city park. 1t would. according 10
the Alderman. also he free from toll
charges. 1t Is generally conceded.
ne saiu' that inc ola anttuuated struc-
ture known as the Free Bridge"
Will have to be junked in a very
few years. In that event the Mayo
Bridge Will not be able to stand
the increased traffic so that, tho
city Will be forced to erect another
structure within the business area.
y bridge too far west VIII not be
able TO accommodate this business,
said MIR. Nunnally. Such n bridge
will. of course, take care OF much
of the pleasure-mo,oring. and some
Of the tourist travel. but We should
have bridge down town for mo-
florists and tourists. We should not
attempt to shove the tourists on
through the city at it's extreme
border. but should offer them some
thing near the business centers"
Alderman Nunnally said he had
not reached determination as to
what to do in reference to the propo-
sition OF toll bridge at Byrd Park.
ais plan. he said. had no connec-
ton whatever with that proposed
project. SO far as he is concerned
he said. both bridges might be erect
ed with good advantage to all con-
cerned. He Is anxious however. to
have a safe and free bridge across
the river between Byrd and Gamble
