consideration also has been given
to two or three other plans, such as
the building of new abutment in the
proposed location with wings for car
rying the present span, the building
of an abutment behind the present
face wall to cantilever out to catch
the present span and others. How
ever, all have been discarded, due to
the cost, which in all cases has been
estimated to exceed $4,000.
Estimates have also been prepared
for removal of the present structure
as requested. I. To remove the entire
structure. excepting the District abut-
ment, which is necessary as a retain
ing wall, the material to become the
property Of the contractor, would cost
approximately $36,000 2 To remove
the superstructure and the Virginia
abutment would cost approximately
$4,000, the material to become the
property of the contractor. 3. To re-
move the river span and Virginia
abutment would cost approximately
$4,000. In this estimate nothing is
allowed for salvage value in view of
the small amount Of material.
Until such time as the projected
plans are discarded I recommend the
present structure be left in position.
If the Virginia abutment continues to
move without the stress and strain OF
traffic, whether cracks develop or
other face stones loosen, consideration
must then be given, together with the
river span. The removal OF this pOr-
ton would require some means of sup

Of il. He previously had asked the
board to investigate the situation to
determine if extraordinary steps to

Wednesday and Thursday. There
are two races in the story, and
neither the hero nor the heroine rIe
in either of them! This refreshing
twist to the story makes it racing
yarn without parallel. Another
novel idea is the fact that the boy
and girl start out as rivals for the
big sweepstake prize. but not even
this can act as handicap to their
young love. Miss Dana gives per-
haps the most interesting perform
ance Of her career, and shows to ad-
vantage her inimitable talent and
charm. The boys part is played b.
Jerry Miley who invests the role with
delightful realism. Others in the
case are Jcm Prouty, Roy Laidlaw,

The story is by Louis Wcadock and
