D. c. HEADS STRIVE
FOR BRIDGE PLANS|
TO SUIT ARTS BODY
Start Restudy of Calvert
Street Span-DeIay of
Four Months Seen.
ENGINEERS ENGAGED
TO OFFER new IDEAS
Architect Totten's Position Under
Changed Scheme Has Not
Been Determined.

A restudy Of plans for the proposed
Calvert Street Bridge over Rock Greek
was started today by the District Com
missioners in a move to abide by the
ruling of the Fine Arts Commission,
with prospects that construction Of the
structure cannot be begun for about four
months.
The Fine Arts Commission last week
disregarded the single arch steel span
design favored by Engineer Coumis-
sioner Gotwals and held the structure
should be OF masonry type, OF multiple
arch construction, conforming to the
style of the nearby Taft Bridge.
Maj. Gotwals also pointed out today
the Fine Arts Commission said 1t would
be desirable that the new Calvert Street
Bridge and the Taft Bridge have a COM
mon bridgehead on the north side of
Rock Greek. This would require pur-
chase OF additional land at a consider
able cost. the Engineer Commissioner
added. For this reason, this point will
be deferred to later consideration.
Engineers Engaged.
Maj. Gotwals and DR.. Luther H
Reichelderfer, president Of the board O,
District Commissioners, following q
conference this morning, announced
that Modjeski, Masters g. Chase, bridge
engineers, would be asked to prepare
the ideas expressed last week by the
Fine Arts Commission.
The decision by the Fine Arts Com
mission, SO far as detail plans for the
bridge are concerned, were "uuite
vague" Maj. Gotwals said
1t was the firm Of Modjeski, Mas
ters & Chase, in collaboration with
Paul Cret, widely known architect, who
prepared plans for the District from
which the Engineer Commissioner Sc
lected the single arch steel span which
the Fine Arts Commission failed to
select at the meeting last week with
the National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission
Just where Mai George Oakley Tot
ten, jr., Washington architect, will fig
ure in plans for the masonry bridge
appeared uncertain today at the Dis
trict Building. 1t was Maj. Totten who
Tn 1917 was engaged by a former board
OF Commssioners to draw a perspective
Of bridge. The present board set
that proposed plan aside.
Totten's Position Uncertain.
Maj. Gotwals said today the drawing
by Maj Totten would be given due con-
sideration in the restudy and that the
Commissioners would ask Totten's per-
mission to send the plans to Modjeski,
Masters &, Chase for their information
during the restudy. Dr. Reichelderfer
pointed out that Maj. Totten's drawing
now is the property of the District,
since he was paid for the drawing.
It was indicated several weeks would
be required for the drawing of q new
plan for masonry, multiple arch
bridge and that at least three or four
months would be required for prepara-
ton Of detail specifications and plans.
As yet the District Commissioners
have not received word from Director
OF the Budget Lewis w. Douglas Of the
expenditure of $575.0O0 out Of the Dis
trict's gasoline tax surplus for starting
construction of the bridge.

White Bluffs ferry, now lands at the
top of the bluff under whose shadow
it usually rests during the summer.
Though the river appears miles wide,
the rapidity with which it has covered
the bathing beach and climbed the
cliff at the ferry landing gives perhaps
the best illustration of it's temporary
imitation.
The highest water in the memory
of residents of the Columbia river
country was reached in 1894. j. N
Johnson, who settled in the Wenatchee
valley just after that high water per-
iod, says that the Hudson Bay COM
pany's records show that in 1854 the
Columbia reached a peak far higher
than any since.
The Columbia river provides drain
age for parts of British Columbia, Ida
no, Montana, Wyoming, Washington
and Oregon. Due to a heavy snowfall
during the winter and long, colo
spring, the runoff this year has been
very fast.

 Minor items include 500 as- pirin tablets, three pounds of bicarbonate of soda, five gal Ions of witch hazel and small amounts of brom9-seltzer, soda mint tablets and medicated alcohol.
 While the amount involved in all these senatorial perquis- ties is not sufficient to become a matter of national concern, it looks as if bills for purely per- Sonal expenses might we'll be paid by the Senators them selves. The example of such petty sponging is not inspiring.
