BRIDGE TRAFFIC
Commissioners May Decide
on Viaduct Approaches for
Georgetown Structure.
VIEWS GIVEN IN LETTER
D. G. Heads, at Board Meeting To-
day, Nominate William II. Hunt
er for West Point Appointment.

Eventually 1t will be necessary to
cause all traffic to enter and leave
the new Georgetown bridge on road
ways crossing NJ street on elevated
viaducts, the District Commissioners
believe.
This view was expressed in a letter
sent today by Daniel L. Garges, sec
retary TO the Commissioners. to Ed
ward NJ Tyler, 1886 New York ave-
nue..
Until these viaducts can be pro-
vided. the plan whose execution is
contemplated, would apparently be
sufficient for traffic needs that now
can be forseen."
The Commissioners tell Mr.. Tyler
that the plan for the approach to the
bridge, as shown on blue print sent
TO him, has been agreed upon per-
manently and will remain until eX-
perience demonstrates that changes
In it are necessary.
Use of Automobile Declined.
The Commissioners at the board
meeting today decided not to accept
the offer Of Matthew G. Lepley, an
architect Of 1902 / street, to loan his
autonSobile to the building inspec-
tors office one day a week to assist
the inspectors in performing their
duty.
The Commissioners thanked Mr.
Lepley for his public spirit, but ad-
vised him that they believe it will

gress will see it's way clear to grant
the present allowance for the trans
portstion of building inspectors. They
tions later justify an appeal to the
public, his offer would be kept in
mind.
Name West Point Cadet.
The Commissioners decided to
nominate william Hamilton Hunter
of 1881 Newton street for appoint
ment to the Military Academy at
West Point to fill an existing vacancy.
Two other boys were selected as
alternates, viz: William Perry Pence,
1852 Mintwood place. and John Edgar

All bids for the erection of a build
ing for the police and flremen on
wharf No. 6, on Washington channel,
were rejected as being too high The
lowest bid was $12,527.
The Commissioners today directed
Maj. T. S. Besson, assistant eng1-
neer Commissioner, to prepare plans
for the establishment of a motor
transport service for the District gov
ernment The tentative plan is to
have one central bureau, from which
all branches of the municipal serv-
ice would obtain passenger cars and

work. At the present time each de-
