maintained. and there should be re-
'liance upon private plans for any

TUG MAST HINGE
TO HELP TRAFFIC
Change Will Eliminate Necessity
for Opening Memorial
Bridge.

The Albemarle is to have her mast
hinged.
The United States Engineer Office
announced yesterday the Norfolk
Dredging Co, owner of the sturdy
little tug, had agreed to put a joint
in the mast of the craft, which for
several weeks has delayed motorists
using Memorial and Highway bridges.
The collapsible mast will lessen the
crafts height enough to do away with
the necessity for opening the draw
at Memorial Bridge, but not at High
way or the railroad bridge, officials
at the Office said.
The tug, hauling barges from
dredging project above Memorial
Bridge down river and over to
Gravelly Point, passes under the
