BridgeProject
Plans for Approval
Will Go to State,
Then U. S. Agency

The Alexandria City Council
has initiated move toward
eventual construction of bridge
across the Potomac River to the
District.
It unanimously approved last
night a recommendation of its
Bridge Committee that plans for
the approach to the span on the
Virginia side be sent to the State
Highway Department for ap-
proval.
Councilman James M. Duncan,
jr., said the move would start
the ball rolling on the bridge
plans. After State approval, the
proposal then would be sent to
the Federal Government. The
city, State and Federal Govern
ments would pay equal shares of
the approach cost. Mr.. Duncan
estimated the right of way would
cost about 100000. The Alex
andria end of the bridge would
be in the vicinity of second street
and the District end at Shepard's
Landing.
The council acted to prevent
recurrance of confusion that arose
as result of the bad-tasting wa
ter which residents have had for
the last six days.
Beverley Wants Action.
On motion of Councilman Mar
shall Beverley, the council re-
quested the Alexandria Water Co.
to notify the city Health De-
partment and local Office of
Civilian Defense Immediately
when foreign matter is detected
in the water.
Mr.. Beverly complained that he
had difficulty finding out what
was wrong with the water when
a disinfectant flavor first was de-
tected Friday. He said the Health
Department and water company
had LED people to believe the taste
resulted from a change-over to
a new source of supply.
The Army said it had dumped
four 55-gallon barrels of a strong
chemical compound near Holmes
Run, which is part Of the city's
water source.
Howard Richards. manager of
the water firm, gave councilman
an account of how the chemical
was detected and what was being
done to remove the flavor.
Everything that should have
been done was done, but it was
impossible to remove the taste and
odor," he said.
Army Aids In Removal.
The plant started operating
again Friday morning when it was
determined the water was safe
for consumption, Mr.. Richards
said. He added that the Army
had co-operated in removing the
source of contamination.
Traces of the flavor, mean
while, are continuing to diminish
as the water company keeps
draining its system through fire
hydrants and other sources. Mr..
Richards said the flavor already
had disappeared in some sections
of the city.
An ordinance prohibiting res
tdentS from keeping fowl within
200 feet of any residence was ap-
proved on first reading. 1t will
come up for adoption at the next
session.
The council rescinded its re-
quest for a bus route in Yates
Gardens after a delegation of
about Is residents from that sec
ton protested they did not want
buses on their streets. More than
100 signatures were on petition
protesting the proposed route and
the residents said they had serv-
ice available only two blocks
away.

Marlboro Pike
Widening Bids
Delay Zone Rule
Stote Rouds Unit
Will Act Monday,
Commissioners Soy

Bids for widening and recon-
struction of Marlboro pike from
the District line to Walker Mill
road will be opened Monday in
Baltimore by the Maryland State
Roads Commission.
This was revealed by Prince
Georges County Commissioners
yesterday in postponing a deci-
sion on a request for commercial
zoning for a 15-acre tract now
occupied by the Hillside Golf
Driving Range.
The commissioners agreed to
hold the petition in allegiance un-
til the long-awaited road project
is completed. The one-mile
stretch, one of the most danger
Gus approaches to the District of
Columbia, is narrow and winding
and has been the scene of numer-
Gus traffic accidents.
Fourth Postponement.
Yesterday was the fourth time
a decision on the zoning request
has been deferred. Last Tues
day, it almost passed by a 4-to-1
vote until Jerrold v. Powers. the
commissioners attorney, ruled nc
resolutions could be adopted the
same day as introduced. unless by
unanimous consent.
The applicants, Stanley B
Frosh and Charles F. Mckay, seek
general commercial zoning. They
also had sought permission to use
the property as a drive-in theater
but withdrew the latter request
last week. The Maryland-N
tional Capital Park and Planning
Commission is opposed to the
open-air theater proposal and to
rezoning Of the entire tract. The
agency contends the property is
located at a dangerous S-curve
along Marlboro pike.
In other business yesterday, the
commissioners received bids foT
improving streets in two special
improvement districts. The Mont
gomery Construction Co. of Olney
Md, was the only bidder for i'm
proving D street from Seventy
fourth to Seventy sixth streets
Carmody Hills. It's proposal was
$10,449.70.
| Other Improvements.
Three bids were submitted for
improving Fifty-seventh avenue
Tuxedo. and a portion of Crest
avenue, Cheverly. The Taylor
Construction Co. Of Bethesda bid
26.164.30 for storm drainage
work and the E. r. P. Smith Co.,
Hyattsville, bid I $8.312 for the
street improvement. The Subur-
ban Engineering and Construction
Co., Branchyille, submitted a COM
bined bid of $37,226.58.
Linden BriScoe, clerk. was di-
rected to confer with County Tax
Assessor Louis Kutsch on the
possibility Of using delinquent tax
property for a shelter for the
county Animal Rescue League. The
commissioners also agreed to as
sign a second truck to the league
for collecting stray dogs and other
animals.
Mrs. Ralph ]. Shelter, head of
the league, had appealed for
office space and a permanent
phone listing.
