THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, TUESDAY, JULY 23, 1935. (edar Hill Washingtms most Beautul NEW P STREET Wg/meterg SPAN DEDICATED More Than a Promise'D- C. Officials and Civic ZATAAEAAANAATAANANENANN Leaders Participate in Ceremonies. A fitting memorial to one of Wash- ington’s most noted citizens was dedi- cated last night when District of- ficials, civic leaders and hundreds of Capital residents participated in cere- monies marking the opening of the new P street bridge over Rock Creek. The span officially was designated as | “the Robert Fulton Bridge” in honor of the steamboat inventor, who once resided on the banks of Rock Creek at Kalorama. Despite eariler threats of rain, ideal weather conditions prevailed as spec- tators gathered on both sides of P street near the bridge or on the lawn opposite the Presbyterian Church of the Pilgrims to hear the dedicatory speeches. John Hadley Doyle, member of the Executive Committee of the Georgetown Citizens’ Association, pre- sided at the ceremonies, which were sponsored jointly by his group and the | Dupont Circle and Georgetown Pro- gressive Citizens’ Associations. Calling attention to the beauty of the new low level span, Engineer Com- missioner Dan I Sultan declared | nothing gives an engineer quite as great a thrill as a new bridge. He said the old P street bridge, which was | built in 1871 and remodeled twice, not only was out of date, but had inter- ferred with the connecting link be- tween Rock Creek Park and Potomac ‘Pflrk He predicted that with work | | going at the present rate, drivers will | be able to travel from Rock Creek to Potomac Park by Midwinter vithouc | driving on city streets. Citizens who worked long and hud | for replacement of the old span were | given full credit for ohummx the ! new bridge. “We in the District Building were simply your instrument in the fight.” | | Sultan said. “We are proud of your | | efforts.” | The citizens themselves selected the | name of Robert Fulton for the bridge, | at the request of District officials. Chairman Doyle recently disclosed in | a letter to The Star that an article some years ago by John Clagett Proc- tor in this newspaper, calling atten- tion to Mr. Pulton’s life on Rock Creek, | was a factor in the Citizens'’ Commit- tee’s decision to ask that the b”d"l be named in honor of the inventor. Col. Sultan was introduced by Com- missioner Melvin C. Hazen, who called | attention to the fact Fulton's first $4.00 All City Calls LlNCOLN 0524 For a Regular $150 Funeral 75 No Extras!
