Razing of the old Calvert Street Bridge—which was closed to traffic yesterday coincident with opening of its half-completed stone successer, will begin tomorrow. First the guard rails, then the floor- ing and finally the rusty old iron framework fitself will be torn up by two huge derricks erected on the south side of the handsome new bridge Dismantling of the rails and flooring will occupy the wreckers until probably ‘Wednesday, when the real job of rend- ing the antiquated structure beam from beam will start, according to S.

Eldridge closed the old span to traffic at 9:30 am. yesterday—as District Commissioner Melvin C. Hazen lifted a wocden barrier to open the north side of the new bridge to its first taste of vehicular and pedestrian traffic. ‘The diverted westbound traffic drove onto the 30-foot stretch of com- pleted paving behind the official auto- mobile of Commissioner Hazen, whose car, appropriately, bears D. C. license No. 1. In Hazen's car were Capt. H. C. Whitehurst, engineer of highways, and C. R. White, director of bridges. ‘When the other half of the bridge is opened about Thanksgiving day the‘ roadway will be 60 feet wide. The half-strip was adequate for two-way traffic, however. First Pedestrians to Cross. Dominick Samponi, veteran scissors | grinder of 906 Quincy street, was the | first pedestrian to cross the new bridge. | Lillian Shulman, 2731 Woodley place, | was the first woman. Leslie “Sonny” Bhade, 8, of 2659 Connecticut ave- | nue, with his chow dog, “Black | Satan,” was the first boy. A.

Motorists noted with pleasure the removal of an old traffic hazard at the | east end of the bridge, the open | street car pit where underground trolleys were removed when the street cars ran over the old bridge. There are no tracks on the new bridge, the street cars ending their route in a loop just east of the bridge. ————e MOTORISTS TO GET 1936 LICENSE FORM Those in Good Standing to Be | Served if Address Has Not Changed.
