when he voiced protest against
the Commissioners ''procrastin-
alton"
Senator Beall said the bill had
been introduced before the end
of January and that the Com
missionerS by now fought to be
ready to give their views"
The Maryland Senator was so
worked up about this that he de-
clared that the question of when
District officials are ready to
testify on pending legislation
should be taken before the full
Senate District Committee.
Sympathetic TO Bill
Robert F. Kneipp. Assistant
Corporation Counsel, assigned
the task of explaining the Com
missioner's delay. said the Com
mlsSionerS were sympathetic to
the detectives of the Bible-Beall
bill but that it was under study
and that this might result in
the proffering of similar bill.
There also was considerab BILE
argument about the relatively
simple appearing bridge authori-
cation measure.
J. N. Robertson. District Di-
rector of Highways. told the
subcommittee that engineering
studies show that the old Four
tenth street span is deterio-
rating and faces condemnation
IN a matter of five years.
Senator Case said if that was
the engineering finding he did
not quarrel with that and that
the old bridge would have to be
replaced. But he still wondered
whether that should not be done
under some other financial pro-
gram, such as a $3.50 division
of costs between the District and
Federal Governments instead of
using the 80 per cent grant un-
der the new Federal highway
act
Mr. Robertson brought out
that the Commissioners had not
yet agreed that the Reaches Run
Bridge plan was needed under
present traffic circumstances and
he specified also that Virginia
authorities have indicated 1t will
be some years before they will
be able to finance the construc-
ton Of necessary Virginia APP
to such a bridge.
