NEWBROGEINSE BY 1531 FORESEEN Grant Tells Appropriations Subcommittee of Progress Being Made on Span. Arlington Memorial Bridge proper will be completed next year, and it is expected the approaches will be far enough constructed to make some use of the bridge practicable in 1931, Lieut.| Col. U. S. Grant, 3d, executive officer| of the Arlington Memorial Bridge Com- mission, told the subcommittee con- sidering the independent offices appro- priation bill for the fiscal year 1930. The subcommittee was advised by Col. Grant that “in some ways are a little ahead of the schedule.” Every- thing so far has remained within the estimates, except the water gate and the Washington side connections with the Lincoln Memorial, he said, explain- ing that placing the estimated expendi- tures for the year 1930 at $2.860,000 makes a total so far of $9,798,000. Need Virginia Connection. “If there is no road for us to connect ‘with on the Virginia side of the bridge, I should not be inclined to spend any money on temporary arrangements for traffic, but would rather go ahead with the more permanent work,” Col. Grant asserted. “We want a connection there (on the Virginia side) with the Virginia road system. If we do not have that connection in sight it would be better for us to use our money as soon as possible on finishing up the Washington side. The Washington side has a rather complicated system of approaches, con- necting with B street, with the Rock Creek and Potomac_Parkway and the Lincoln Memorial Plaza, as well as directly with the bridge. That is all a very expensive and very fine architect- ural composition.” Col. Grant made it clear that there 4s no friction between the Federal Gov- ermnment and Virginia highway com- inissioners, “There has been a change in the plans which partly entailed that in- crease by including at the Washington end of the bridge an underpass for the park road,” Col Grant said, in ex- Emnmg changes from original plans. ‘The original plans did not include this separation of grades. The estimates did not include the cost of an arch there for the park road to go by on the lower level to avoid a crossing of traffic at the end of the bridge. That entails additional expense. But there are other features unessential and the commission thoucht that feature was ‘very essential as a practical thing.” Additional Cost Placed at $160,000. The additional cost of the underpass, Col. Grant said, will be approximately $160,000. Explaining that there are small tem- ples proposed for Columbia Island in- cluded in the original estimates which can be eliminated to keep within the authorized amount, Col. Grant said there is a large amount of statuary on the bridge itself. “Those features can be run up into #remendous costs if in the future you decide to add them, but they also can be kept down and limited to some ex- tent,” he declared.

Engagement Rumored Since 1926 Is Announced by Her Parents. Betrothed Pair Met While She| Played for Crown on French Riviera. By the Associated Press. BERKELEY, Calif., January 16.—Miss Helen Wills, queen of the tennis courts, is to marry Frederick S. Moody, jr., son of a San Francisco capitalist. | The engagement, which was an- nounced here yesterday by her parents, | Dr. and Mrs. Clarence A, Wills, has | been rumored "since 1926, when Miss Wills was fighting her way toward the | woman'’s amateur net championship on the French Riviera. Young Moody and his father visited the Riviera while on a tour of Europe, and Miss Wills and young Moody often were seen together. Reports of the engagement were de- nied, however, and only last week Miss Wills confirmed such a rumor, saying announcement of her engagement would come from her parents and not from the newspapers. The announcement did come from her parents in a brief note mailed to her friends. Moody, who is employed by a stock brokerage company in San Francisco, attended a private school near here, after which he took to the sea. He served an apprenticeship aboard the sailing ship Falls of Clyde, winning his officer’s papers. He served as third, second and finally first officer on some of the Matson Navigation Co.’s vessels. His family has been prominent in San Francisco for. several years and his father is a member of the State High- way Commission. Miss Wills’ tennis career began when she was 14. As a pupil of her father she won notice on the local courts, In 1921 she won the national junior tennis championship in Forest Hills. When she was 17 she defeated Molla Mallory for the woman’s American _singles championship. Mile. Suzanne Lenglen defeated Miss Wills in France in Feb- ruary, 1926. Mme.
