Bridge Delay Explained. An explanation of why work on the M street bridge had been delayed was made by G. L. Nicholson, president of the Chesapeake & Ohio Canal Co., who said thit in order to build the bridge it was necessary to remove a sewer from Government land to canal prop- erty, and that permission to do this could not be obtained because the chairman of the board of trustees for the canal was abroad last Summer. As soon as he returned, in September. however, Mr. Nicholson said, he had given permission, and the work prob. ably will begin in March. The needs of the community in the way of street repairs, a public library | and a public convenience station were brought to the attention of the asso ciation and referred to committees. | Membership—B.
