PLAN TOLLS ON
CHAIN BRIDGE

Chain Bridge may be ton bridge
in order to pay for the new abut-
ment which must be constructed
before the bridge can be re.cpened
to traffic. it was learned today.
Specifications have Just been com.
pleted by assistant District Engi.
neer Commissioner H. C. white.
hurst for the construction Of a
new concrete abutment to replace
the deteriorated south abutment
which caused the closing of the his.
toric span. and District officials in.
tend to advertise for bids on this
abutment within a few DAYS in an
effort to get the bridge opened by
next spring,
The cost Of the project, however,
Is unknown. Estimates have run all
the way from $4,000 to $40, 900.
The only funds available are the
100000 In the annual bridge repair
fund. some Of which already is OBJ
ligated.
Virginia has refused to share in
the cost of repairing or rebuilding
the bridge. 1t has, therefore, been
suggested to the Commissioners
that a nominal toll charge of either
or 10 cents be established when
tine bridge reopens, to continue until
repairs have been paid for. This,
It was pointed out, would force
Vrginians to pay a share Of the
total.
Ringgold Hart. assistant corpora
ton counsel, in an informal opinion
today, ruled that the Commissioners
would have to get specific author
lily from Congress to establish a
toll charge on the bridge.

The total number of deaths oc.
curing during the year was 1883.
an increase of 372 over the year
preceding. On the other hand the
number of births during the same
period decreased from 9,175 in the
previous year to 1904 in the year
1925.
General Rate Decreases
The general death rate, however,
declined slightly during the caIsndsr
year 1925. The rate for the year
1925 was 1909 for 1000 of popula-
ton, while in 1925 it was 1899.
OF the 1883 deaths, 4.59s were
white and 1890 coiored. These fig
ures give white death rate of
1856 in comparison TO 1137 and a
colored rate of 2O.s7 in comparison.
to 22.6S for the year before, showing
that the white death rate Is in.
creasing while the colored death rate
rate is decreasing.

ported to the Health Department
during the fiscal year ended June 80,
1927, was 5000, or about half of the

ing the preceding year accounted for
the larger total.

The presence of rabies in the Dis.
trict continued during the year. DR..
Fowler reported. The number OF
animals found suffering from that
disease increased from 81 in 1925 to
III during 1925. The number of per-
sons bitten by dogs was 123. as
against II for the preceding year.
1t seems to me-" DR.. Fowler re.
ported, that the situation calls for
some drastic measure to protect the
public from these attacks by vicious
or unmuzzled dogs" He recon-
mended an order requiring the mliz.
zling or leashing of dogs for the en-
tire year instead of the summer
months, as at present.
Although the medical and dental
inspection work in the public schools
Is one of the most important
branches of the Health Department
work." DR.. Fowler reported. "The
personnel engaged in the work is
very inadequate" He recommended
much larger corps of medical and
dental inspectors and school nurses.
