Repairs to Calvert Street Struc- ture Show Rapid Progress. i { Repairs on the Calvert street| bridge. which have heen urged for a number of years, are rapidly near-| ing completion. = The improvement | now in progress. however, will not include the installation of the under- | ground trolley system. which was o urgently requested by the Connecti- cut Avenue Citizens' Association. The Capitol Traction Company has compromised in this respect to the extent of agreeing to remove the trolley poles from the center of Con- necticut avenue to the sides of the street if permission can be obtained ! from the District Commissioners, and | they are awaiting a hearing on this subject. Although persons living in | that section are not disposed to be satisfied with anything but an under- ground trolley, they are glad that the pole hazard fo traffic is to be remov- ed. It is argued that, due to the rapid increase in population in that| section. it will not be long before an overhead trolley of any kind will become 2 danger in the event of fire. always the case in thickly settled areas. | The eitizens also contend that the! present bridge is so narrow that it is| bound to experience traffic conges- | tion. They feel that in a few years| it will be necessary to tear down the! bridge and build a new one, at which time the underground trolley : should be installed.
