Of clearing highways Of Snow, making

was the idea Of the meeting that 70

exceedingly expensive proposition and
that no hasty action should be taken.
The subject should be given thorough
investigation and analysed minuteiy
Seleetmep TO Figure Costs
With this idea in mind. the meeting
instructed the selectmen to determine
cost figures on some Of the approved
methods Of clearing highways after
snow storms. Il is suggested that
certain length Of road be plowed. an
other scraped. another plowed with "a
tractor. and still another just broken
out by driving "A sleigh along Costs
for each method, per mile, are the
figures which the taxpayers want. The
seiectmen are engaged at present IN
determining these figures.

SCOTT KEY BRIDGE y
SOON OPEN TO FREE TRAFFIC

Free and unrestricted traffic over
the new Francis Scott Key bridge at
Georgetown will be possible within
the next few days. according to Mai.
Tyler. the engineer OTHER in charge.
Recently such TRAFFIC has been i'm
peded by the work in progress at
both approaches to the bridge, es-
pecially at the Georgetown end. That
work included making the short
curved connection between the tracks
OF the Capital Traction line on M
street with the tracks on the bridge
proper. and making the asphalt road
ways and sidewalks adjacent thereto.
During the progress Of that work
traffic was restricted to a narrow
passage on one side at the entrance
to the bridge.
At the Virginia approach the work
is delayed somewhat by the slow
settlement OF the big fill made at
that point Present operations are
confined to building an asphalt road
on the west side OF the proposed rail-
road loop and repairing the existing
roadway In the center. Both of these
roadways will be ready for use before
the end of the month. The building
of the loop itself and the permanent
east side roadway will not be COM
pleted and street cars operated across
the bridge before the latter part of
July. The terminal station OF the
