TRAFFIC on the new East
Capitol Street Bridge is ex-
pected to double once the Ken
ilworth interchange and re-
lated Maryland highway inn
provements are completed,
District Highway Director John
N. Robertson predicted yester-
day.
The present average week.
day volume on the structure
crossing the Anacostia River
near the National Guard Armory
is more than $1,000 vehicles.
This compares with more
than $4,000 daily on the Balti-
more Washington parkway at
the District line. Mr.. Robertson
reported.
Doubled Ttafic Seen
The bridge now serves traffic
coming into the District via
Kenilworth avenue extended
and George Palmer highway.
But both of these roads are
now in the process of being
dualized. It is when the dualiza-
ton is completed. and the An
napolis freeway and the inter-
change at Kenilworth avenue
and Eastern avenue are nm
ished, that traffic will burgeon
along the Northeast Washing
ton inlets.
Mr.. Robertson made his OBJ
servations at a luncheon meet
ing of the Transportation Com
mittee of the Washington
Board of Trade in the Burling-
ton Hotel. His general theme
was the progress and future
plans for highway development
in the city with the new Fed

for this property through taxes

urged acquiring all possible
ground space available now
prior to double-decking exist
ing parking lots because of in
creasing land prices.
Mason A. Butcher, director
Of public works. told the
council the car space cost for
this proposed lot would be
$2,750 for l59 car spaces, which
he said was high" in COM
parison with recent purchases
Of other off-street parking. He
estimated the cost for multi

must protect the taxpayer who
