PEDESTRIANS GIVEN

Judge Hit Holds Crossing Right
of Way Theirs, Even if Lanes
Are Not Marked.

Pedestrians have the right of way at
intersections whether croSS-walkS are
marked out or not, Judge Isaac r. Hit
ruled yesterday in overruling a motion
by counsel for the Washington Rapid
Transit Co. that charges against one of
the company'S drivers be dismissed on
the ground that as there were no white
lines at an intersection, the people
crossing at that point could not have
the right of way.
The defendant, Everett T. Steed, o.
year-old driver for the Washington
Rapid Transit Co.. was alleged to have
endangered the lives of Thomas j..
Keefe, his wife and their infant on jan
uary 10, by travelling at an excessive
rate of speed and failing to give them
the right of way as they crossed the
roadway which encircles the Lincoln
Memorial. Mr.. Keefe is general man.

MOUNT VERNON ROAD BULLETIN
OUTLINING PLANS. IS ISSUED
Right of Way to Be 200 Feet
Wide, With 40-Foot
Pavement.
Seven Masonry Bridges,
Monumental in Design,
to Be Built.

A descriptive bulletin of the newly
authorized Mount Vernon Memorial
highway, following the river route from
the District of Columbia to the national
shrine, was issued to day by the Bureau
of Public Roads of the Department of
Agriculture.
Starting from the Virginia end of
Arlington Memorial Bridge, this route
Is l5.4 miles long. It traverses Column
bia Island, passes under both the High
way Bridge and the Railroad Bridge
shore spans, and follows as closely along
the Potomac as topography alignment,
grades and plans for future develop
ment will permit. Should Gravelly
Point be selected as an airport, the
highway is so laid out as to make this
location available.
The river route passes through the
center of historic Alexandria, crosses
Hunting Creek, and follows the Potomac
to the poStern gates of Mount Vernon.
AT no point on the highway will the
grade be greater than 6 per cent. For
a considerable portion of the mileage
the grade is less than / per cent.
Paving to Be 40 Feet.
The right of way of the memorial
road, except in Alexandria City, will be
zUU IeeC WlQe, WIN a 4U-TOOt pavement
and two 10-foot shoulders. Where con-
formation of ground is more suitable.
two 20-foot pavementS will be construct
ed on different levels. The higher road
will overlook the lower and the space
between will either be used for parking
or suitable planting. Because of the
topography of the ground, construction
in this manner will be less expensive
than if the 40-foot pavement, necessi-
tating heavy grading, were continued
through these sections
Between Washington and Alexandria
the road will have the two levels near
Abingdon House, the birthplace of
Nellie CustiS, and near Four-Mile Run,
and at two or three points south Of
Alexandria.
Seven masonry bridges will be con-
structed, monumental in design and
harmonizing with the Arlington Memo
rial Bridge. They will carry a 60-foot
roadway with 5-foot sidewalk on
either side.
Planting to Be Provided.
Automobile parking places will be
designated along the route between the
highway and the rivers bank, particu-
larry at the most attractive spots. Suit
able planting, dictated by soil conditions,
will likewise be provided along the
route.
The highway is to be completed in
1892 under a three-year program, For
