POST TWO ROUTES
. TO PREVENT JAMS
Police to Guide Traffic to
Arlington Cemetery and
Mount Vernon.

To prevent congestion of traffic to
Mount Vernon and Arlington national
cemetery, two separate routes to
these two places have been desig-
mated, and are being pointed out by
military police stationed at various
points.
Generally speaking. the Arlington
route will cross the Key bridge, and
the Mount Vernon route will cross
the Highway bridge. Detailed in
structions to motorists are given in
the following regulations which are
in effect until June 10.
The ordinary route to Arlington
national cemetery will be via NJ
street northwest. across the Key
bridge. through Rosslyn. along the
Fort Myer road to the Fort Myer en-
trance of the Arlington cemetery, and
in the cemetery along Meigs avenue
TO the Lee mansion, via Lee avenue,
in clockwise direction; thence along
Sheridan avenue, Grant avenue to
Farragut avenue. along Farragut
avenue to the Tomb Of the Unknown
Soldier and the Memorial Amphi-
theater in a clockwiSe direction to
Mcpherson avenue, thence south on
McPherson avenue to Grant avenue.
thence to Porter avenue with exit at
the Treasury gate. At the Treasury
gate Washington traffic will be routed
north along the Alexandria road to
Rosslyn, entering the main thorough

Trafic for Mount Vernon. after leav-
ing the Treasury gate, will be south
on the Alexandria road, taking road

the Military road and thence along
the road on the south side of Airing
ton cemetery. and thence north along
the west wall of the cemetery to the

Cars which park at Fort Myer and

The Alexandria road east of Airing
ton cemetery will be one way from
the Treasury gate north to Rosslyn
for tourists. 1t will be one way
from east Arlingto north across
Military road, to north end of ~"
for residents to the south of Airing
ton cemetery.
The Military road from the south
entrance of Highway bridge will be
one way west to the west side of the
