Bridges at Rodford
And West Point
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
RICHMOND, Va, Aug. 5.-Plans
and specifications for more than
s12,000,000 in postwar highway i'm
provements have been completed,
State Highway Commissioner James
A. Anderson has announced.
Actual calling of bids on the prof.
ects, which include the proposed
Lord Delaware Bridge over the Mat
taponi River at West Point and a
new bridge over the New River at
Radford, now awaits the end of the
war when materials will be available.
Mr. Anderson said
While officials agree that no high
way construction can be undertaken
at present, they believe that plans
for road improvements should not be
delayed until the war ends. the Com
missioner said. He explained that
'the time for actual construction will
come later, but the time for making
blueprints is right now
Bridge to Cost $3.50, 900.
More than $550000 in State road
funds have been earmarked for the
Lord Delaware bridge at West Point,
Commissioner Anderson said. The
bridge will be relocated slightly
downstream from the present out
moded structure, so that the West
Point approach will be about TOO
feet south of the existing bridge.
Plans call for concrete beam
span with a steel draw span, the
bridge to be 1,572 feet long, with a
26-foot roadway. The draw span
will have width of $50 feet with
a horizontal clearance of 100 feet
for navigation. Preliminary work of
grading and filling will get under
way in few weeks, as soon as a.
convict camp is established at Adner.
|. A second major bridge, for which
plans have been completed, is the
span over the New River and the
Norfolk g. Western Railway tracks
at Radford to replace the present
span on Route II, the major high
way in the western part of Virginia.
Four-Lane Roadway.
A four-lane roadway, 48 feet wide,
will be constructed across the bridge
and two 5-foot sidewalks installed.
Approximately S480,000 in Federal
and State funds have been set aside
for the project.
Other plans cover projects for
which allocations were made in 1941
and 1912, including the surfacing of
the alternate routes west of Fred
ericksburg, parallel to Route I, to
embody construction of Glover
leaf" traffic control point.
Three widening projects planned
for Route II in Roanoke and Mont
gomery Counties, from two lanes to
four, west of Glenvar; Route /, south
of the DinWiddie Courthouse to pro-
vide improved bridges and ap-
proaches at Nottoway River, Stony
Creek and Megerrin River, Route 13
in Accomack County from Accomac

glnla's new General Assembly will
have some l3 new members in the
Senate and nearly 30 in the House,
final tallles Of Tuesdays Democratic
primary showed today.
The primary resulted in the de-
feat Of only two incumbent Senators
and four Delegates seeking re-
nomination.
Deaths and designations account
ed for many Of the changes in the
States wartime General Assembly.
The primary, itself, furnished deci-
slonS in only 10 Senate and % House
contests, while other selections we're
made or will be, in conventions.
Many incumbents had no opposi-
ton.
While the primary campaign pro-
duced no pronounced issues through
out the State the result of the vot-
ing IN Leesburg, Va, brought a re-
quest from Mrs. Nellie O. Fletcher,
candidate for the House of Dele
gates, for an investigation and re-
count of the returns, which gave
Howard c. Rogers, incumbent, al
most twice as many votes as the
contending candidate.
MIS-. Fletcher said the count of
the 800 Leesburg votes, which took
from 8 pm. to 3 am, brought the
total county vote to 2.225 for Mr..
Rogers, and to lis for herself. She
said the county total of 3,34O votes
compares with total of 2,715 cast
in the l94l primary and added that
this is surprising" since approx
mately 1000 voters have left the
county for the armed services.

In Educational System

oS tic hsSOCldt6Q HIeSS.
RICHMOND, Va, Aug. 5.-Liber-
alization of the State Teacher Re-
tirement Act, revision of the
method of administration of Federal
grants for schools, changes in the
compulsory school attendance laws
and the granting of continuing
contracts to teachers have been
recommended to the Policies Com

vised to include the return of all
accumulated contributions to men,
bers withdrawing, regardless of the
length of service At present, those
who have not participated in the
plan for as much as two years lose
their contributions upon withdrawal.
It was also recommended that the
States contribution for each year of
prior service of a teacher be in
creased to l-80 of his average an
nual salary, and that the State be
released from the obligation of pay
ing the actuarial equivalent of the
per cent contribution by the
teacher.
Other suggested changes in the
retirement law would:
Place the optional retirement age
at so years, while the compulsory
retirement age would be left at TO
years.
Grant disability allowances after
10 or more years of creditable serv-
ice, with appropriate adjustments of
the law as affected thereby.

year for retiring teachers.

WA May Supply Cash
For Operation Of
Alexandra School
Request for $4,000
For Government-BuiIt
Units to Be Restudied

Residents of Cameron Valley and
Chinquapin Village were assured
today by John Y. Kerr, assistant
executive director of the Alexandria
Housing Authority, that the pros
poets of opening the Janny's Lane
School for the coming school year
were very good"
Mr.. Kerr revealed. that a con-
ference was held this week between
officials of the Alexandria Housing
Authority, the Federal Public Hous-
ing Authority, Alexandria officials
and representatives of the Federal
Works Agency to discuss financing
of the schools operation.
After the school was constructed
early this year. the Alexandria
Board of Education was informed
that the FWA refused to grant the
$50 900 the board deemed necessary
70 operate the Janney's Lane and
the Parkfairfax Schools, both FWA
constructed buildings.
An appeal to the City Council for
the additional funds brought the
ASP4y tildG tIiC City lldu Increased
the school budget by $4,000, or ap-
proximately 26 per cent and did
not feel able or obligated to al
locate further funds, especially to
take care of children living in Gov
ernment projects.
The only recourse of the School
Board was to inform FWA that it
would be unable to open the two
new schools. unless the request for
funds was reconSidered.
Mr.. Kerr said that this weeks
conference took PLACE after the AHA
had received queries from residents
as to future school facilities. as we'll
as indications that they would move
away If such were not provided.
Because the projects are occupied by
employees of the Naval Torpedo Sta
ton and Fort Belvoir, both Navy and
Army officials were interested in the
problem and sent representatives to
the conference
The result of the meeting. accord
ing to Mr. Kerr, was that FWA
representatives agreed to reconsider
the application for funds on condi-
ton that the FPHA would also re-
examine its files in order to deter
mine the possibility of that agency
making some contribution to the city
for the Janneys Lane School.
