80 FINAL BRIDGE WORK. PLANNED AUGUST 1 Army Engineers Expect Cars Will Then Be Running to Virginia Side. August 1 next is now given by the Army engineers in charge ah the ap- proximate date of the completion of the Francis Scott Key bridge across the Potomac at ‘Georgetown. and the operation of the cars of the Capital Traction Company over the structure to Rosslyn. The bridge proper is practically finished, but there is con- siderable work yet to be done on the land. approaches. The Georgetown approach is being cleared up for road- ways, pav curbing, sewer conne tions and other improvements, includ- ing the railroad trackage between M street and the bridge proper. j There is even more work to be done on the Virginia approach at Rosslyn. Extensive filling was required to bring the approach to grade and pre vide foundations for two road outside of the loop to be constructed on the reservation by the Capital Traction Company. Plan Permanent Ronds. 1t is expected that the fill will be mettled by the first of May sufficiently to permit the construction of the | permanent roads, as well as the loop itself. - These roads will curve out- ward from the bridge end to the Lee highway at Hume avenue and the railroad loop will parallel them on the inside. The roads will be built of penetration macadam, which will be topped by asphalt when finally settled When they are laid the present temporary straight road through the center of the approach will be aban- doned. The east side of the fill, where there 1s a Irop of about thirty feet to th edge, is being graded and sodded. It Is planned to make the entire approach as attrac- tive as possible.

The Great iileuind T L2 + Having health, a human being has no right to weep or whine; men despise his. hully-cheeing and his wanton waste of brine. Being free from pain and anguish, man should never talk of woe, he should never droop or languish, though his | row be hard to hoe. For he has the major blessing, has the crown of human bliss; he is yellow when confessing grief in such a state as| this. What is trouble to the voter who is sound in wind and limb, who is like a Green Seal motor when it comes to pep and vim? What misfortune is so drastic as to daunt the healthy wight, who has ligaments elastic and no colic in the night. What reverse is so outrageous as to crush the husky ent, when his whiskers are um- brageous and his back by age un- bent? Yet I often hear the giant beefing roundly at his luck, as he wields the handsaw pliant, striving thus to earn a buck. And I hear the butcher wailing while assassi- nating hogs; he must work while some go trailing rabbits with their guns and dogs. No one has a right to grumble if his health presents no flaw, though his place in life be humble, though his task be coarse and raw. Leave the grumbling to the relic who is old and full of pain —but his smile is oft angelic and his language safe and sane. (Copyright.) WALT MASON. TAHI RATE PROBE TOHI PRMILEGE Senator Harrison Says Effort Will Be Made to Abolish All Discrimination. No taxicab company in Washington should have specfal privileges in the matter of rates that may be charged, Senator Harrison of Mississipp!i sald In a statement fssued today dealing with the resolution adopted by the Senate just before adjournment of the last session of Congress directing the Public Utilitles Commission to in- vestigate tax! rates charged here and in other cities, with a view to bring- ing about more reasonable and uni- form rates in the District. Senator Harrison sald “The investigation is not directed at those companies operating taxi- cabs in ‘th District at reasonabls rates. While some of the companies rates may not be as low as the rates charged in other cities of similar size as Washington, there are some com- panies operating in the District whose ates are reasonable. The in- vestigation will protect those com- panies that are trying to protect the public. To Ce T Privileges. “There are other companies that have special privileges in the opera- tlon of thelr taxi services whose rates are much higher. Whether or not a certain taxi company should have special or exclusive privileges at the terminal station may be a question for discussion, but certainly there is no room for argument to D.
