EXPLAIN WILD RUMORS
OF CRACKING BRIDGE

The Georgetown bridge is to crum-
Bile. A span is weak! You can see
the cracks for yourself.
Thus runs the gamut of rumors
these days when the cold weather
hitting Washington has caused the
concrete in the bridge to contract.
AS far as these rumors go, however,
they're worth no consideration, ac-
cording to leading local engineers.
When the bridge was constructed,
expansion joints OF gaps were placed
at intervals of every forty feet or
whereabouts. There are more than a
score in the bridge.
Lieut.. Hardin, in the Office of Mai.
Tyler. who had charge of the com
pletion of the bridge, declared yesterday
that no serious consideration was to
be given such rumors unless coming
from an authorized engineer.
These expansion gaps are supposed
to widen in certain portions OF the
bridge in winter and in other portions
during the summer when the expan-
sio of piers will close certain expan-
sion joints and others will be opened
to compensate for the closed ones,
automatically. All in all, it's a tech
nical proposition and unless technical
men advance the theory of disaster
to the bridge no recognition Of the
rumors will be taken officially.

Proposes Plan as Amend
ment to Five Separate
District Bills.

Senator Mckellar Of Tennessee yester-
day renewed his fight to bring about
scent street car fares in the District of

at the time of the annual conven-
tion of the Mystic Shrine next June.
Senator Mckellar intends to call
up his amendment when any of these
bills come before the Senate for con-
sideration.
His amendment provides that the
Public Utilities Commission shall not
hereafter have or exercise power to
fix rates of fare for the street railway
companies in the District o. Colum-
bia at rates in excess of the rates
of fare fixed in existing charters or
contracts hereafter entered into be-
tween the said companies and the
Congress. and after the passage of
the proposed act the street railway
companies shall receive cents per
passenger as cash fare. but they
shall issue and sell six tickets for
% cents, as provided in existing
charters.
Legislation to relieve the street car
situation in the District of Columbia
is the special order OF business for
consideration before the House Dis
trict of Columbia committee tomor-
row morning. All of the bills which
have been introduced will be taken
under discussion. These include the
Ball measure, which is already passed
