OPPOSE EXTENDING
VIRGINIA AVENUE
Commissioners Suggest 9th
er Plans for Facilitating
Georgetown Bridge Traffic.

The District Commissioners are op-
posed to the extension of Virginia
avenue from its present terminus TO
the new Georgetown bridge.
Following a board meeting yester-
day afternoon. the Commissioners
notified the House District commit
tee of their opposition. and suggested
two other means of improving traffic
facilities for the bridge, namely:
Erection of A viaduct that would
carry traffic from the bridge across
M street and north TO P and Q streets.
Widening of II street from the
bridge to the point where 1t meets
Pennsylvania avenue.
Two Routes Suggested.
The Commissioners tell Congress
there are two routes by which Vir-
gInia avenue could be extended as
an artery to the bridge, one costing
$l,250,0o0 and the other s775,000.
These figures do not include an al
lowance for damage 10 the steam
railroad occupying Water street.
which the Commissioners say could
not be estimated in advance.
Careful consideration of these esti-
mates, and Of the fact that the actual
cost Of the property may be consider
ably greater through the necessity of
paying for goodwill and for such
items of damage as It has not been
possible to estimate. convinces the
Commissioners that the possible bene-
fits would be out of proportion to the
expense TO the public
See Objectionable Grades.
Moreover, at the westerly end Of the
extension the grades would be OBJ
jectionable, and IL is also believed
that public loss and inconvenience
would result from the necessary de-
struction of very useful commercial
enterprises such as are now estab-
lished in the territory west of Rock
Creek and south of NJ street. 1t Is
further believed that the relief TO
traff1o would not be really effective,
because IL is thought that the extern
sion of Virginia avenue would divert
traffic in the wrong direction.n

.SHERR|LL YIELDS
TOC|V|C PROTEST
Will Consider Incorporation
of Draw Span in Memorial
Bridge Design.
HIS POSITION EXPLAINED
Opposed Change in Plans in Belief
Dignity of Structure Would
Be Marred.
HIS POSITION EXPLAINED

Following vigorous protest yester-
day by Board OF Trade and civic and
commercial interests, Col. C. o. Sher-
rill. executive head of the Arlington
Memorial Bridge Commission, san-
nounced last night withdrawal of his
ultimatum OF mo draw or no bridge"
and made known his intention of
ascertaining the possibility of incor-
porating draw span in the me-
mortal structure that would conform
artistically to tho whole project.
Col. Sheriff. has strenuously op-
posed the idea of placing a draw
span In the Arlington memorial
bridge for the reason that he believ-
ed 1t would mar the beauty and dig
nifty Of the structure" explained
MAJ. Weart of the office of public
buildings and grounds today. How
ever. In view of disfaVor with which
the drawless bridge plan was receiv-
eo at the hearing in Maj. NJ. c.
Tyler's office yesterday, Col. Sheriff.
agreed 10 consider designs for a
draw, with a view to seeing If a
movable span could be evolved that
would not seriously affect the ap-
pearance of the bridge"
Draw Span Regarded Possible
Maj. Weart expressed the opinion
that 1t may be possible to so camou-
fage the draw that It will not be
noticeable until opened. 1t is likely
that the lift type of bridge span will
be adopted. as this type does not re-
qutre a superstructure.
Inclusion OF a draw in the plans
for the bridge. Maj. Weart pointed
out, would considerably increase the
cost of the project. both from an
na6n 1nl1tai stand9oint and from mainte-
operating the draw will have to be
provided for in the appropriations,
and engineers and other attendants
must be constantly stationed there,
after the bridge Is finished, to operate
the machinery and TO protect traffic.
Under the law. the War Department
is charged with keeping open nav
igaoie waterways in the United
States, and the hearing yesterday
was called primarily, IT is understood,
to ascertain how valuable the George
town channel and harbor was con-
sidered by local commercial and
civic interests as a "navigable water
way"
Protest Regarded Effective.
II. in the face of Col Sherrilrs edict
against a draw, little or no opposi-
ton had been voiced by those present.
IT is believed that the bridge COM
mission would not have receded from
its position.
Maj. Weart said today that il would
be impracticable to design a drawless
bridge at the location decided on
that is, from the Lincoln Memorial TO
Columbia Island. Of sufficient height
to permit passage of sea-golng craft.
It would have been possible had the
New York avenue site been selected
10 ha hrfd he ha faf ~
place the elevation OF the bridge
above the water would have been
much greater than at the Lincoln
Memorial site.

HARDNESS

There is too much unnecessary tar
diness in the high school. Nearly
every morning someone comes in late
with no excuse whatsoever.
1t is certainly not fair to the
other pupils to have the recitation
interrupted by these people and it
is not conducive to study to have
the study hall disturbed by them.
II is really not fair to ourselves
to come to school late, for we are
now at the age when we are molding
our characters. When we come to
school late morning after morning,
we gradually form the habit and do
not care whether we get there on
time or not.
Punctuality is of great Importance
in business. We will find when
we get older that it is impossible
to hold a position no matter how
competent we are, If we do not get
to work on time.
We should strive to overcome this
habit now before it becomes strong
er.

FIVE NEW CASES OF
SPOTTED FEVER REPORTED

DR.. Evans reports that he is now
treating five new cases of spotted fe-

last issue.
The condition of Grandpa and
Grandma Doty is very serious on ac-
count of the advanced age of the
patients.
j. A. Archibald, suffering from
spotted fever, was brought into
town from the Worth Lee place on
Bennett creek Wednesday.
One of the spotted fever victims
staged "walkout" on his nurse last
Tuesday morning. About 5 o'clock
he spoke in a rational manner to his
attendant, telling her to lie down
and rest. At $50 a. m, however,
he was missing from his bed. The
patient in his delirium walked out of
town as far as the Abbott house on
the Toll Gate road. He was brought
back to town by Hector Beach, and
aside from being exhausted seems to
be no worse for his experience.
