dents of Potomac, Rockville and
other sections of upper Montgomery
County is the bill introduced in Con-
gress this week to authorize con-
struction of a bridge over the Po-
tomac river at Great Falls to con-
meet Montgomery County with Fair
fax County, Va.

, tor Carter Glass, of Virginia, and
Rep. William D. Byron, Of Western
Maryland, and conten1plates creation
Isfsa special commission to sell bonds
to finance construction and operate
the bridge.
It is contemplated that tolls will
be charged to defray the cost of
conducting the bridge, and the
supervision, of collection Of tolls and
payment of the debt would resolve
on the commission created.
Members of the commission pro-
posed in the bill would he Senator
Robert Peter and James Nolan, of
Montgomery County; John &c. Mack
all and H. w. T. Elgin, Fairfax
County, and J. Edward Burroughs,
Jr., of Washington, D. C.
After the collection of sufficient
tolls to pay the cost of construction,
the bridge would be turned over
jointly to the States of Maryland
and Virginia and would be operated
as a free bridge.
The bill provides for compensation
for the commission members at the
rate of SIS per day with maxi
mum of $1,000 per year for the
chairman and $1,000 for the other
members, with an additional trav-
cling expense of 10 cents per mile.
The new bridge would open up
vast section of upper Montgomery
County to a flow of traffic now di-
verified to other sections because OF
inability to get across the river
from Virginia to Montgomery Coun-
ty for a vast stretch of county be-
tween Chain Bridge on the South
and Whites Ferry on the north.
