National House of Representatives by
Representative r.. Walton Moore, pro-
viding for the construction by the Agri-
culture Department of that section of
the Lee Boulevard which circles Fort
Myer and joins the bridge.
Second Resolution Adopted.
This was later followed by the adop-
ton of resolution offered by Arthur
Orr advocating early construction of the
part of the proposed Straight the
Bridge Boulevard that will connect VIII
son Boulevard with the bridge. The
resolution requests the State Highway
Commission ito include in its project
Of approach roads to the Memorial
Bridge to be ready for use by the
time that bridge is opened for traffic,
that portion Of the Straight to-the-
Bridge Boulevard Approximately Ave-
eighths of nile) beginning with its
intersection with the Lee Boulevard In
Porter Woods and extending to the
Wilson Boulevard in Clarendon, along
such route, and to such point of inter-
section with Wilson Boulevard In Clar-
endon as the State Highway Commits
sion shall deem suitable"
Copies of the Lee Boulevard resolu-
ton were ordered sent to Mr.. Moore,
Senators Swanson and Glass, the chair
man of the committee on public build
ings and grounds and to the executive
officer of the National Capital Park
and Planning Commission. To the

beers of the county board of supervisors

Congress is requested by a resolution
offered by the executive committee to

ter of the private toll bridge company
or to add q section definitely providing
Tor the financing ana erecClon OF q Tree
bridge at an early date and not requir-

Maryland and Virginia.
The bill as passed by the House OF
Representatives, the resolution sets
forth, includes an amendment prohibit
ing the erection of any toll bridge with

River Park, also an amendment au-
thorizing free bridge one-hah of the

ton of Labor, which body is opposing
the bill, how he reconciled the policy
of his organization to oppose organized
