Wider Bridge Clearance

The rivers and harbors COM
mittee Of the Washington Board
of Trade has recommended
scrapping present designs for the
Jones Point Bridge and SUBJ
stituting plans calling for a 300
foot navigable clearance.
Members of the committee yes
terday conceded their suggestion
would require new legislation
by Congress, but they said the
necessity for a wider clearance
than the $50 feet authorized out
weighs the disadvantage Of pos
sible construction delays.
A resolution passed by the
committee said construction OF
the bridge as presently planned
would impair the safety of
vessels and prevent the con-
Itemplated economic growth OF
the Alexandria and Washington
ports"
The action was taken after a
report by John E. Smith, chair
man of a subcommittee on
Washington channel improve
ment. Mr.. Smith said his SUBJ
committee conferred last week
with the heads Of the Virginia
and Maryland Pilots Associations
and was told that with only a
Il50-foot clearance. cumbersome
lfreighters would break down the
bridge" in bad weather.
Fears Permanent Limit
1.-THE present plans would
limit forever the future develop
ment of the ports" Mr.. Smith
said. Lets not let this creek
bridge be constructed right be-
low Alexandria and block devel-
opment of the ports"
It was estimated a change OF
design TO allow a 300-foot clear
ance would add 81 million TO the
construction cost. Congress has
appropriated Si3.5 million.
1t was pointed out in the dis
cussion that widening 10 300
feet would require a new design
for the draw span, and possibly
require increasing the height OF
the bridge TO make q movable
span unnecessary.
Ernest r. Henry, a member Of
the committee, warned that the
resolution may find tough sled
ding when it comes before the
Board Of Trade Itself. which
wants prompt construction Of the
bridge. He said there ARE a lot
Of people who would like 70 kill
the Jones Point bridge" and
would welcome the opportunity
70 stymie II in Congress.
Bigger Channel Asked
The committee also vent on
record for widening Lne Potomac
River channel 70 q width OF 900
feet and a depth oi 90 feet. The
present width Is 200 feet and the
depth - feet.
II was estimated that more
than 90 per cent Of ocean-g going
vessels would be able 70 ply the
river with q 56-foot depth.
