Unless weather conditions prevent necessary work on the south, or Vir- ginia, approach of the new George- town bridge that structure will be opened for general public traffic early next month, in accordance with the general plans of those In charge. Neither approach will be entirely completed. however, nor will it be possible to operate street cars across Suggestions: the bridge until the high earthen ¥ 3 3 embankment forming ¢ the southern For MEN For WOMEN approach has settled firmly. It is | re: 1 for two or three months. | While that situation delays the con- i struction of the Capital T Company's loop und th the tracks of fhe connecting Vire lines on the government reser at Rosslyn until next spring. it is not expected to interfere with pres- ent plans to construct a temporary roadway at the Virginia end of the bridge early next month. When this is done, the old Aqueduct bridge will be closed to all vehicular traffic ex- cept the cars of the Washington and 0ld Dominfon railway, which will con- tinue to use its present terminal at 36th and M streets until other ar- rangements are made. Station Permit Refused. The War Department recently re- fused to permit that company to build a three-story brick and concrete terminal station on the reservation at the south end of the new bridge, on the ground that it contemplated per- manent occupation. The company has now submitted & new proposition in which It asks that the government lease it a small section of the reserva- tion for five years at a rental b: d on the value of the land, and perm the erection thereon of a temporary terminal consisting of a long one- story building of frame and stucco and good appearance. It is said_the company cannot acquire private land for the purpose, and that the location of the terminal elsewhere than on the reservation will not permit close con- nection with the cars of the Capital Traction Company. For Passenger Connections. The railroad transportation situation at Rosslyn which will follow the com- pletion of the new Georgetown bridge has been thoroughly discussed by Rep- resentative Moore of Virginia, officlals and citizens of Arlington county and railroad officials with Army engineers and officials of the War Department. General desire i expressed that an ar- rangement be effected by which close passenger connection be made between the Capital Traction and the Old Domin- ion lines. In the absence of any better proposition it is said that the general sentiment favors the establishment of the Old Dominion terminal on the reser- vation on_one side of the reservation and the Washington-Virginia terminal on the other, with the Capital Traction 100p between' the two. The bridge structure proper is prac- tically completed. The street car tracks are down and e paving between the tracks and on thé main roads and side- walks will be finished in a few days. | COSMOPOLITAN CLUB ENTERS NEW QUARTERS Luncheon Marks Transfer of Lo- cation to New Hamilton Hotel.
