On Bridge Plan

The Senate already has 1ap-
proved a simple amendment per-

District Committee. iom
Action at StandstiIl rsts
AS the legislation now stands,
| the six-lane bridge could sAot
touch the island, but would have
to be built between it and Ar
llington Memorial bridge. The
District last year agreed to, re-
plan it over the island, utter
trustees Of the island. park and
Fine Arts Commission officials
said this would be less objec-
tionable than the authorized
location. or
| A House District subcommittee
held a one-day hearing a month
ago on the change. Subcomrnit-
tee Chairman Davis, Democrat
of Georgia, said he also intended
to hear a new National Park
Service drive to replace the
bridge with a four-lane trafic
tunnel.
But nothing has happened
since.
Starting Funds Available
Questioned by news reporters
on Report to the People," radio
broadcast over Station WWDC,
Engineer Commissioner Thomas
"A. Lane said that if the House
does not act. he assumed it would
be taken as a rejection Of the
bridge move, and the Commits
lsioners would be ready to pro.
coed at the presently authorized
location.
He said the starting appropria.
ton is in hand. Some planning
has been done on the Roosevelt
Island crossing, but additional
planning time would be needed
If the builders had to 60 back to
the original location, he added.
He estimated that within a
year, planning could be COM
pleted and construction started.

Target Dates
A spokesman said officials hope
that the work at Drew, James,

the other three elementary build

lat the beginning of the 1857

completion of Kenmore was the
