VOTESTOELIINATE AQUEDUCT BRIDGE !Senate Sends Bill to House Authorizing Removal of 0Old Structure. Complete removal of the old Aque- @uct Bridge, which was closed upon tompletion of Key Bridge, is provided for in a bill passed by the Senate I night and sent to the House for its concurrence. The Senate also gave its approval at the night session to a number of other Jocal measures ly: A bill to raise practice of phar macy, to yrize the widening of C street between North Carolina 3 and Twenty-first street northe @ bill to empower the traffic director issue operator permits without 1 of the Arm) 1d Coas verr: The bill w assed night at the r of War makes no > to a recreation pier.

Street Widening Proposal. The C street widening measure is to enable the Commissioners to' pro. vide a suitable approach to the Ana- costia Park. Instead of extending North Carolina avenue from its pres- ent terminus at Sixteenth and C streets northeast to the Benning ave- nue approach to the park, as contem- plated by the original plan, the Cont- missioners propose to widen C street as an extension of North Carolina avenue. e The bill, which requires House ac- tion, contemplates making C street 160 feet wide, which will provide a boulevard entrance to the park. ‘The action of the Senate last night leaves only a few District bills on the calendar, including the chiroprac- tors’ licensing measure,. a bill to amend the architects’ licensing law and two of the bills passed by the House to regulate the practice of legal guardians for incompetent persons in the District of Accidents in Homes Are BURNS!
