52000000 ROAD " FUND PROVDED Bill Before House Makes Money Available for Mount Vernon Highway. Tor constructing the memorial high- way to connect Mount Vernon with the City of Washington, as authorized in the act passed May 23 last, the agricul- tural appropriation bill, reported to the Housc today, carries a provision for making available for the coming fiscal year the unexpended balance of $2,000,- 000 out of $2,500,000 carried in the second deficiency appropriation bill. The $1,000,000 authorized for the fiscal year to continue the work on this boulevard was not appropriated because ‘Thomas H. MacDonald, chief of the Bureau of Public Roads, explained that with the continuing appropriation the additional $1,000,000. would not be needed during ‘the coming year. Mr.» MacDonhld outlined the entire memorial project, and the subcommittee drafted the bill, as follows: “This appropriation is for the pur- ‘pose of bru!ldmg a boulevard connecting the City of Washington with Mount Vernon. It will connect with the Me-. morial Bridge across the Potomac, which is now under construction. A total of $4,500,000 has been authorized of which $2,500,000 has been appropri- ated. It is expected that the highway will be completed in time for the cele- bration of the 200th anniversary of the birth of George Washington. “That is a reappropriation, and we have not at the present time let any contracts. We have been working, since the enactment of the legislation, on a study of the two possible routes and particularly the real estate involved in the right of way. At the present time we are not ready to let contracts or to recommend as between the two avail- able routes. But we will want to let contracts, so that it is. necessary to make available now this amount. “Both surveys have been made. “The river route is about two miles longer than the back route, but ap- parently the real estate costs will be very much less on that route than on the other route. Much of the right of way has been provided on the river Toute, but we have not had the same success on the other route. There ars certain places on the other possible route which the right of way is so con- structed that it would mean a very considerable damage to prlvlte property to obtain 200 feet in width. = congressional committee will decide which route they take, on the basis of the facts as we present them, and we anticipate that, very soon, we will have the matter before them for final determination.

Government Specifications Demanded Speed of at Least 40 Miles an Hour. Orville Wright, pioneer designer and pllot of heavier-than-air flying mae chines, and his first passenger, Maj. Gen. George O. Squier, U. 8. A, retired, are both attending the International Air Conference meeting in the United States Chamber of Commerce Building. During the course of a conversation dealing with flying in general, the two men laughingly recounted their experi- ences on Maj. Squler’s first flight, made at Fort Myer in 1908. There were no seats. The occupants had to sit wherever they could without straps or safety devices to lend a sense of security. There were no wheels to the machine which was catapulted into the air—none too gently. De- scrlbxng his feelings, Maj. Snuler said, “We were bumped off into the air and, frankly, I was scared to death. I have to admit T was greatly relieved when we got back safely to ground.” This flight was made on September 12, 1908, over the parade ground at Fort Myer, before an assemblage of Govern- ment officials and diplomats. The ma- chine was in the air exactly nine min- utes and six seconds, and it was stated by & spectator the- machine flew so low that it was scarcely above the treetops. Mr. Wright and Gen. Squier also re- ferred with much amusement to certain stipulations sent out in a specification from the Signal Corps at that th’m rel- ative to an advertisement for a “he: ier-than-air machine.” These speci- fications had been drawn up by Gen. Squier, then a major in the Signal Corps. Extracts frem this specification read as follows: “It is desirable that the flying ma- chine should be designed so that it may be quickly and easily assembled and taken apart and packed for transporta- tion in Army wagons. It should be ca- pable of being assembled and put in operating condition in about one hour. The flying machine must be designed to carry two persons having a combined weight of about 350 pounds, also suf- ficient fluel for a flight of 125 miles. The flying machine should be designed Always fresh in the beautiful brown and gold THE EVENING § STAR, WASHINGTON, WRIGHT AND FIRST PASSENGER LAUGH OVER FLIGHT IN 1908 BACHRACH . GEN. GEORGE 0. SQUI. to have a speed ot at least 40 miles per hour in still air.” The clause which states that “it should also land in a field without re- quiring a specially prepared spot and without damaging its structure” will prove of interest to aviators of the day to whom a properly prepared landing field is of such importance.
