with new system Of streets planned
for the Southeast area east of the
river.
While it will serve a much smaller
area, Capt. Whitehurst considers it
important that the present Twen-
tieth Street Bridge at the end of
Park road at Piney Greek Parkway
be replaced. The present span, he
said, is narrow, has a limited weight
capacity, and both the bridge and
the roadways leading to it are in
adequate for the traffic using it.
In his report he called for s400,-
900 span with four lanes to replace
the present two lanes. In addition,
he recommended that the new bridge
be equipped with sidewalks, a safety
feature that does not exist there
now and which he considers ex-
tremely necessary.
A third span listed in the report
would be erected on Linnean avenue
across Soapstone Valley parkway
and is necessary to open that street
to through traffic and to provide a
through traffic route parallel to
Connecticut avenue. It is estimated
to cost approximately sl75,OOO.
Other Replacements.
The director also recommended
replacement of a number of the
smaller bridges of the District. espe-
cially those in the Northeast and
Southeast, across Watts Branch and
Oxon Run. These, he said, are mar
row and totally inadequate for mod
ern traffic. The new spans are ex-
pected to cost s25.000 to $4,000 each
and will entail total estimated
expenditure of 100000.
Capt. Whitehurst's entire bridge
building program. including the out
lay for the tube under the Poto-
mac at Alexandria, would cost s14,.
5000. This much he has recon-
mended be spent in construction i'm
mediately. but he listed two other
projects as a future program to
be put into effect at a date depend
ent upon certain circumstances.
One of these future projects is
the replacement of the Highway
Bridge. The director said he had
not proposed this as an immediate
move because the span still has a
good many more years of useful life
which he thinks should be gotten
out of it before it is destroyed. II
still is sturdy structure. he said
although its obsolete appearance
does not add to the beauty of the
city.
For Route to Baltimore.
The other bridge he suggested for
the future is a span across the
Anacostia River to connect New
York avenue with the proposed
route to Baltimore. This bridge, he
said, should hinge solely on de-
velopments in connection with the
proposed route. If the highway is
not developed, he does not favor
construction of the bridge.
The director explained that the
proposed bridge across the Anacostia
River in line with South Capitol
street will constitute a link in the
radial highway system suggested as
a solution to the present traffic con-
gestion in the District. While the
other spans called for In the i'm
mediate program are not directly
on any of these trunk routes, he
added, they will aid greatly in
obtaining a free flow of traffic.

asked.
I'm a way, yes" said Mango.
She shrugged prettily. Anyway,
there's no place over there any
more where one can light. So I've

with Dad"
II reckon he's tickled pink, /"
said David. "He must get aWfully

Mango, the boss's daughter,

schools, swank colleges. summers

Ardendale for any length of time.
And then usually accompanied by
friends from other places. and
never having any time for the
home folks
It all came back to David, as he
stood there bareheaded in the
spring sunshine. And. gosh, what
a beauty Mango had turned out to
be. He remembered her as a
skinny girl with carroty hair-a
girl who had gone for a time to
the public school and mingled
with him and the other boys and
girls; and now here she was, a
young lady who was so lovely she
simply took the wind right out
OF a fellow.
We'll" he said finally, ats nice

war to send you home"
II rather dreaded coming"
Mango confessed. "That is, at first.

that. But now" She smiled
straight into David's deep blue
eyes. But now think Pm going

little. "Why not? Ardendale's not
a bad place by any means"
Mango said nothing for a mo-
ment. She, too, was remembering.

tow-headed, rather shy small boy;
one who seemed always to be
hurrying of home to help take
care of cousin. or an aunt. or an
uncle.
