THE 10 WORST JAMS

A lot Of people hooted back
In 1945 when a Federal high
way official predicted 10000
cars a day would be using the
Fourteenth street bridges by
1860.
Among the doubters was the
National Capital Planning
Commission. The planners
said q single six-lane bridge
could handle the 5000 cars
it predicted would cross the
Potomac River at Fourteenth
street In 1865.
Both estimates turned out
to be woefully low. A 1855
count showed the bridges
carrying 105.e51 cars q day
and the total now Is probably
up around 10000 Q day. Any
way. the bridges and their
approaches are jammed.
