Moving Sidewalk
For House Asked
In Supply Bill
Subway System to Link
Offices and Capitol
Urged by President

Appropriation Of $500, 900 to build
a subway moving sidewalk" system
between the Capitol and the House
Office Buildings and $5s5,OO0 to re-
build the Capitol roof over House
and Senate wings is suggested In a
supplemental appropriation request
sent to the House today by President
Roosevelt.
Bearing approval Of the Budget
Bureau, the added fiscal requests
total $2,e75, ,38ol5.
The two Capitol projects would be
carried out under direction of Arch
itect David Lynn. Mr.. Lynn told the
House Appropriations Committee
last year that engineering plans had
been drawn to install a moving
sidewalk" in the curving under
ground passage which connects the
Capitol and the two House Office
Buildings. Duplication of the elec-
trio railroad used on the Senate side
would be impracticable because Of
the large membership Of the House,
it was explained.
Included in the balance OF the
supplemental supply bill is $3.50 900
for the Agriculture Department,
S265 900 for Senate repairs, $945 600
for the War Department and $380.l5
for the Labor Department.
Supplemental estimates for the
Agriculture Department include
$4,000 for the Food and Drug Ad-
ministration, $250,O00 for enforce
ment of white fringed beetle quar-
antine, and $400, 900 for eradication
of Dutch elm disease.
Deficiency and supplemental esti-
mates for the Senate include con-
tingent expenses of $150,000 for the
fiscal year 1899 and $4,000 for the
fiscal year 1898.
Supplemental items for the War
Department, totaling $945, 900, are
as follows: For seacoast defenses,

Jefferson Memorial
Specifications Ready
With Call for Bids
Superstructure Includes
Marble Work, CoIonnode
And Surmounted Dome

Bids will be advertised late today
or tomorrow morning by the Ma
tional Park Service for construction
of the superstructure of the Thomas
Jefferson Memorial on the Tidal
Basin site.
Copies of the specifications, total
ing 200 pages and accompanied by
"a drawings, are to be delivered to
F. F. Gillen, Park Service engineer
in charge of the work, late today
and will be mailed tonight to pros
pective bidders.
The specifications cover construc-
ton of the marble memorial struc-
ture and its supporting frame. The
memorial, of circular form, sur
rounded by a colonnade and sur
mounted by a low dome, approx
imately will equal in bulk the Lin
coin Memorial.
At least three additional rela-
lively small contracts will be award
ed later. These will be for the
statue Of Thomas Jefferson and its
pedestal, to stand within the dome;
for road work in the memorial area,
and for landscaping work.
Although bids for the superstruc-
ture are scheduled to be opened
March 3, it was believed likely that
some of the contractors might re-
quest an extension to allow more
time for study of the rather COM
plicated specifications and the prep
aration of estimates.
The Raymond Concrete Pile Co.,
which holds a 1884 900 contract for
construction of the memorial foun-
dation, now is driving piles on the
site, using the tallest pile driving
rig ever assembled here.
Under the foundation contract,
work is to be completed by June IS.
Barring unforeseen incidents, how
ever. the contractor expects to be
able to complete the work ahead of
schedule, clearing the way for the
superstructure work.

dren under 13 were hurt by automo-
biles during 1888. This figure is
more than double that of 10 years

hand, Inspector Holmes credited
pedestrian control and stricter en-

to keep open and in condition
suitable for travel two historic roads
intersecting the Skyline Drive in
Shenandoah National Park.
The roads are the Browns Gap

these routes along with other less
frequented access roads to the Sky
line Drive, as a part of its program
of charging admission fees to the
