This is the second attempt to Sc.
| cure good roads in Arlington Dis
trict. within the past three years
by meaDs of a bond issue, said
j. Thomas Manning today, and this
time, with the construction of the
Memorial bridge, which comes into
the District, and with the extern
s.ve improvements being carried on
by the Government leading from
the highway bridge, the time has
arrived when the voters of the Dis
tTict should get together and help
put the District on the map, with
good roads the greatest asset it
can have.
It is impossible to hope to get
very far with the present road fund
| in the District, with eighty six
miles of roads SIS, 900 will not build
very much road. said Manning. the
| only way is by a bond issue. While
there is some opposition, it is not
being taken very seriously by the
supporters Of the issue, and with a
little work, they say, the election will
| carry.
