BRIDGE APPROACH
BILL TO BE PUSHED
Reyes Believes Congress Will
Again Consider Proposed Link
With Lee Boulevard.

The next Congress will take up again
the bill which failed to get through
at the recent session to provide for an
approach to the Arlington Memorial
Bridge from the Lee Highway, in the
opinion of Senator KeyeS of New
Hampshire, chairman of the Senate
Public Buildings and Grounds Com
mittee
Senator Reyes expressed eradication
today over the progress that is being
made in carrying on the various i'm
provement plans in and near Wash
ington, and said he was sorry it was
not possible to get action at the last
session on the proposed connecting
highway link from the Memorial
Bridge to the Lee boulevard leading to
the South. Senator Keyes said there
was some feeling at the Capitol that
/. the Federal Government should not
pay the entire cost of this approach
at the Virginia end of the bridge, but
he voiced the hope that it would be
possible when the new Congress meets
TO work out legislation that can be
passed.
Work is going ahead on the boulevard
from the end of the bridge to Mount
Vernon along the river front, but the
Senator indicated he thought it was
important also to have this other con-
nection between the bridge and the Lee
Highway.
With work on the Union Station
Plaza going ahead steadily under the
Office of Architect of the Capitol Lynn,
Senator Reyes also expressed hope that
it would be possible to complete the
new avenue from Union Station TO
Pennsylvania avenue next year.
A large part of the plaza improve
ment is expected to be done this Spring

Of the new avenue across the plaza is
awaiting the completion of negotiations
