COLUMBIA ISLAND
ELEVATION RAISED
Change Made to Provide
Proper Connections Later
With AnaIostan Island.

Columbia Island, which grew from
mere shoal in the Potomac River to an
imposing island as part of the Arling-
ton Memorial Bridge project, is having
its face lifted, so that proper connec
tions may be made later to the Lee
Highway and to Analostan Island
E. A. Schmitt, engineer in the United
States Engineer Office, said today that
the dredge Talcott has just completed
pumping a ridge of sand and gravel
from the bed of the Potomac River to
provide for raising the northerly end of
Columbia Island. A fill of from 8 to
IL feet is being arranged.
Sea Wall Is Planned.
The line of the rip-rap sea wall is
being drawn to present more pleasing
appearance and give more room be-
tween Columbia Island and Analostan
Island, to provide for freShet discharges.
John L. Nagel, designing engineer of
the Arlington Memorial Bridge Com
mission, explained today that James l..
Greenleaf, landscape architect, Is su-
pervising those plans for the northern
half of Columbia Island,

established grade has been put in place.
About 1,1O0 feet north of the axis of
the main bridge, Mr.. Nagle said, it is
expected that the Lee Boulevard will
Join Columbia Island, and present plans
call for establishing traffic circlo At
that point.
New Bridge Proposed.
At some time in the future bridge
some 500 feet long will connect the
northern end of Columbia Island with
the southern tip of Analostan Island,
which has recently been acquired by the
Roosevelt Memorial Association. Plans
for this project are indefinite, but ar
rangements are now being made so that
this program can be carried through in
the future.
On Columbia Island Mr. Nagle said,
there will be no formal landscape de-
velopment, except at the main bridge
plaza. The treatment otherwise will be
naturalistic, with no formal Seawall and
the greenery going right down to the
waters edge

they blow horns, beat drums or make the welkin ring with their shouting Over one hundred police men, however, will see to it that they do not set the city on fire or wreck their neighbors' homes.
 Various fraternal organizations will hold special, Halloween parties this evening. The Elks. Daughters of Italy and several other organizations entertained their members and friends last evening. The Waterbury Aerie of Eagles will sponsor their annual party this evening with the Var sity orchestra rendering selections and with cider and doughnuts as refreshments.
 The Elton and Hotel Waterbury are expected to be crowded with football enthusiasts on their return from the Yale-Dartmouth game in New Haven. The spirit of Hallow- cen as we'll as the usual festive enthusiasm following football at traction will of course be in evil dence.
 Hundreds of homes will be the scene of parties for the young sters. Local merchants report that the sale of costumes, masks and noise making implements rank with prosperous years of by-gone days, indicating very clearly thai the night of goblins, ghosts and "spooks" will be widely observed and how!
 The po1ice preparedness is aimed only at wanton destruction of property. There is no occasion for youngsters to set fire to build Halloween a success. The orders of Superintendent Mclean are for patrolmen to arrest anyone caught in the act of damaging property or sending in false alarms of fire. The entire night platoon will report at 6:30 o'clock and the afternoon platoon which usually calls it day at 7:45 o'clock will remain on duty until 10 o'clock. For the first time in year the entire motor patrol will be on duty.
 There is every reason to believe that the celebration will be 8 noisy one. but owing to the arrangements Of the police, 1t will be reason able one.
 Several requests have been filed with the police for the services of policemen to protect certain homes which in former years have been bombarded with ancient fruit or stones. In a number of instances property owners have hired" po- licemen to protect their property.
