Grocery Set Afire
After Being Robbed

District police and the fire
marshal's Office today probed a
fire which flared shortly after a
Northeast grocery was entered
after closing hours last night.
After the minor blaze was put
out by firemen, Grocer Benjamin
Solomon. So. told police about
$50 had been taken from the
cash register. Included in the
loot was a small collection of old
French and United States coins,
he said.
Mr.. Solomon closed the store
about 1880 pm. The fire was
reported a short time later.
Police Capt. Lewis B. Peters
said the store apparently had
been thoroughly ransacked. Fire.
men said a preliminary investi-
cation indicated an inf1ammable
fluid had been poured over stock
in a rear room. Police issued a
lookout to all doctors and hospi-
tails to report anyone applying
for treatment of burns which
may have been inflicted when
the fluid ignited.
The fire damage was confined
to the storeroom at the rear of
the grocery.
Police said the grocery was en-
tered about a week ago. with
merchandise making up most Of
the loot. They also said a tenant
who lives above the store turned
in last nights FIRE alarm.

SEA SERPENTS
FROM PACIFIC
MOVE TO D. c.

Six hefty sea serpents, the
largest over 4 feet long, have
arrived at the Zoo. DR.. Theo-
dore H. Reed, acting director,
announced today.
The snakes, probably Of
the latacaudia colubrina
family, arrived at their new
home late yesterday from
Palau Island in the South
Pacific.
The flat-tailed serpents are
rare in this country's ZOOS,
DR.. Reed said, one reason be-
ing they seem to get very
f1nicky about their food once
in captivity. They eat eels
and fish normally. but have
shown a tendency to stop
eating altogether in other
places where they have been
exhibited.

consider the H street route
suitable for an initial test.
Calls for New Proposal
Gen. Lane took the position
that, if the company did not be-
lieve it would work, he saw no
point in trying to force the ex-
pertinent there. He asked Mr..
Keneipp to continue meeting
with the transit officials and
with Public Utilities Commission
officials in an effort to work out
something with a maximum
chance of success.
The Engineer Commissioner
said he had in mind something
that would benefit not only
transit. but the city as a whole.
After traffic a analyses and
other study, he noted. it may be
found that streets not now used
by buses can be drawn into such
a plan. In addition, he said, the
transit system should be able to
make maximum use of any right
Of way granted.
"Plans should include exami-
nation of possible one-way street
systems and the rerouting OF
Buses" he said. 'If a served

downtown area is worked out for
buses, the buses should make

which tickets were sold at the

Rapson's attorney, James M.
Thomson, protested the amount
of the fine on grounds that it was
Rapson's first offense.
This appears to be a willful
violation Of the laws of Virginia

He said suspension of the Jail

niency."

The
Rambler
Ups and Downs
Of Chain Bridge
By JACK JONAS

Chain Bridge, dating from
1897, is the granddady Of all
the Potomac crossings, al
though its career has not been
without interruption.
The span there today looks
nothing like its ancestors, and
that is something of a bless
ing.
Bridges at that spot have
been victims of fire, flood, old
age and waterlogged cattle.
They have seen history - a
noted duel and guns of the
Civil War - and pleasure.
Almost from the first, the
Chain Bridge area has been
a favorite for Sunday outings.
The Georgetown Bridge
Company hired Timothy Pal
mer, a bridge man of some
note, to design the first
wooden structure at that
point. 1t was opened to traffic
in 1897. 1t was Immediately
a boon to commerce, particu-
larly for drovers with cattle
bound for the auction pens on
the Maryland side.
One avaricious character
istic of those Virginia drovers
helped seal the doom of the
first bridge. Cattle which
have just drunk their fill, it
is well known, weigh more
than thirsty cattle. And so
the drovers would halt their
herd at Pimmit Run to take
on water before crossing to
the auction pens.
The crossing of so much
Pimmett Run water helped
speed the bridges collapse in
1904.

that amount, a separate loan
would be sought each year dur
ing the five-year program. The
loan, as well as each years list
of construction projects, would
be subject to review not only by
the school board but by the
Commissioners and Congress, he
stressed.
Flexibility of Program
This would assure keeping the
entire program flexible, he
added.
The superintendent was asked
by Walter N. Tobriner why it
was necessary to put a total
dollar figure on the program.
DR.. Corning replied:
Il don't believe we could go
to the Commissioners and Con-
gress and ask permission TO bor-
row unless we give them some
idea of the needs for which we
want TO borrow"
The teachers college, voca-
tional high school and admin
istration building projects drew
specific mention. Wesley S. VIII
liams asked whether the plans
provide for possible establish
ment Of full-scale city college.
Mr.. Tobriner said he did not
yet know whether he favored
the vocational project as well
as others.
Some Opposition Heard
Carle c. Smuck, finance chair
man. said he was disappointed
that no spokesmen for businass
groups turned up at a hearing
last week at which the program
was backed by parent-teacheT
spokesmen.
Board members noted that
they had heard some opposition
TO the program. including a
statement from the Washington
Board Of Trade critical OF bor-
rowing. Mr.. Smuck declared:
The program viii have "a
have the support Of all groups
In the city"
Mrs. Ruth B. Spencer also
stressed the need for iustifying
the program 10 the public. She
asked for detailed data on cur
rent schoolroom and teacher
shortages.
Mr.. Tobriner pointed 70 the
need for making businea6men
realize that the less education
we have the more delinquency
and the more delinquency the
higher taxes"
Evening star., 1956-12-11

THE OPTIMISTIC George
town Bridge Co. put up a sec
ond wooden bridge at that
spot. 1t lasted six months
before it caught fire and was
destroyed.
Loss of the second bridge
dampened the company's op-
timism, despite the appar-
emily lucrative tolls from
those who crossed it. 1t was
four years before the Potomac
was spanned there agaiIl-thiS
time by the type of bridge
which gave it its permanent
name.
The heavy wooden super
structure of the new bridge
was supported by heavy chains
strung from massive stone
towers at each end of the
span. 1t was designed by
James Finley, a Pennsylvania
judge, and looked as solid as
they come. He was not a
hanging judge, as might be
supposed.
But in two years, Chain
Bridge was down again, swept
off its supports by a flood in
1910.
That almost finished the
Georgetown Bridge Co. for
good. They were so desper-
ate, the Federal Government
stepped in and appropriated
enough money, in 1911, to
build a second chain bridge.
Twenty-Five years later tolls
passed out of the picture
when Georgetown City officials
paid the original company
$150,000 for all rights in the
span.
