Permission to change the location of the road has been already obtained from both the county and the town of Bingham. . at Capital on ( - rb Structure Across Potomac Magnificent f ' ' SHERMAN the capital of the United States, is to have the most Impressive approach of any city of the earth by way of Uount Ver-no- n and Arlington. It will take ten years to build It and It will $15,000,000. cost approximately Moreover the project will presumably give the necessary impetus to other plans for the Improvement and beautifying of the capital. So it seems likely that the vision of George Washington and Major LEnfant Is to come true after these many years. Congress in the closing days of the last session authorized the beginning of work on an Improvement project commonly called the Arlington Memorial bridge. The act contains provisions In effect as follows: The Arlington Memorial Bridge commission is authorized and directed to proceed at once with the construction of a memorial bridge across the Potomac river from the vicinity of the Lincoln Memorial In the city of Washington to an appropriate point In the State of Virginia, Including appropriate approaches, roads, streets, boulevards, avenues and walks leading thereto on both sides of said river, together with the landscape features appertaining thereto, all In accordance with the design, surveys, and estimates of cost transmitted by said commission to congress nnder date of AprU 22, Ml By JOHN DICKINSON ASUINGTON, 1924. Construction shall be entered npon as speedily as practicable, and shall be prosecuted to completion by contracts or otherwise as may be most economical and advantageous to the government In a total sum not to exceed $14,750,000, which sum Is authorized to be appropriated. The commission Is authorized to occupy such government-owne- d lands as may be necessary. It Is authorized to procure by purchase or by condemnation, such privately owned lands as may be necessary for approaches on the Virginia shore and to allow B street NW. Washington, to be opened up from the Capitol to the Potomac river. During Its passage the bill was amended so that the District of Columbia bears an equitable share of the expense. An Initial appropriation of $500,000 was made. Work has been begun on the project of which the Memorial bridge Is only one of the features. Other features may be thus outlined : Widening B street east from the Lincoln Memorial to the Capitol, crossing Pennsylvania avenue to the north side of the Capitol, cleaning out the unsightly shacks and providing a governmental boulevard from the Capitol for corteges across the new memorlul bridge to Arlington National cemetery. street at right angles Widening Twenty-thir- d from B street, north from the Lincoln Memorial to Washington Circle, as the most Important north and south route for the entire northwest section of the city to the Lincoln Memorial end across the memorial bridge to Arlington. Development of Columbia Island, reclaimed by dredging operations, along which there will be a boulevard drive at right angles to the memorlul bridge, connecting across an auxiliary bridge with the Lee highway. Erection of the Titanic and John Ericsson memorials equidistant from the entrance to the bridge from B street, on either side and on the waterfront, thus flanking the bridge and beautifying the entrance to the capital from the South. Continuing the development of the river drive and parkway west of the' Lincoln Memorlul and Unking the Bock Creek and Potomac parkways, with the river drive moved closer to tl e liver. Creating a great plaza between the Lincoln Memorial and the bridge, Including an attractive water gate fronting the Lincoln Memorial.

In the fourth year of the bridge-buildin-g program, when the arches and superstructure have been finished, and the draw span Installed, work will be begun on the plaza between the Lincoln Memorial and the Memorial bridge and the water gate at the Lincoln Memorial, In the fifth year the program calls for ornamentation of the main bridge and the twin bridge over the boundary channel. During the following five years the widening and developing of B and Twenty-thir- d streets will ' be carried out The Memorial Bridge will be of granite facing.' In order not to Interfere with the view of the Lincoln Memorial as seen from Columbia island, the bridge has been kept as low as possible. It baa nine segmental arches, tbs center span being 1&4 feet long, and the length of the span decreasing gradually each way toward the shore, so that the end spans are 100 feet The bridge Is to be 2.183 feet long between the terminal pylons. The roadway Is 60 feet and each of the two sidewalks 13 feet wide, making a total width of 90 feet The architecture has been kept as simple and severe as possible, the structure mainly depending for Its beauty upon the perfection of Its general proportions sud Its adornment with significant sculptural pieces. The central arch of the bridge will be a draw span of steel, painted white. Dredging will change the channel of the Potomac to correspond. Tbs bridge should be completed by 1929. The bridge will cost $7,250,000; the Lincoln Memorial plaza and water gate, $1,000,000; Columbia Island, $200,000; the Virginia terminus plaza, $1,390,000; extension and widening of B street, $2,070,000, and , street, $100,000. widening of Twenty-thir- d On Fame's atarnal camping ground Their allent tenta are spread, And Glory guards, with aolemn round, Tba blvouao of tha dead.

In Arlington National cemetery, one of tba great shrines of the nation to be served by the Memorial bridge, you will find Iron tablets bearing lines or stanzas from CoL Theodore O'Hara's famous poem which so well expresses the purpose of the place.

Mansion la Restoration of tbs Wusblngton-Le-s - . ' rnt1 wUharmw a part of the general plan. The estate of L160 acres, which Is now the Arlington National Cemetery, was bought and laid out In the Eighteenth century by John Curtis, a F. F. V." from the eastern shore. His son, Daniel Parke Custls, married Martha Dandrlge, the Belle of Williamsburg and when old Custla died the young couple moved In. Daniel soon died, leaving Martha a young widow, with two children, John Parke and Eleanor Custla. Along came an Impressive young colonial colonel, George Washington, who lived only fifteen miles away. He carried off the rich widow as a bride to Mount Vernon. Together they managed the Arlington estate. The daughter died but the son grew to manhood, received hla noble estate, married a Calvert and served on hla stepfathers staff during the Revolution. He died la 1781 and hla two Infant children were adopted by the Washingtons. keeping their own names. Nelly married MaJ. Lawrence Lewis, a Virginian. f Her brother, George Washington Parke Custla, Inherited Arlington In due time and began the erection of the Mansion. Washington never saw the completed Mansion, which was not finished until 1803. Custls married Mary Lee Fltzhugh, one of the Randolphs. She died In 1853 and her husband, the last male of the family, In 1857. The Arlington estate then fell to the daughter, Mary, who In the meantime had married a young army officer, Robert E. Lee, eon of "LIghthorse Harry Lee, the dashing cavalryman of the Revolution. Thus Arlington became the home of the Lees. Then the Civil war came and Lee went with Virginia out of the Union, ne left Arlington Just as It was.' Federal troops took possession and most of the objects of historical value are now In the National museum. Arlington could not be confiscated because entailed by the first Custls, but under the pretext of nonpayment of taxes the United States government bought It In for $23,000 and established the National cemetery In 1864. When, several year after the Civil war, G. W. Custla Lee Inherited the estate, he successfully contested In the courts the legality of the tax-salbut at once transferred his restored rights to the government for $150,000, which was paid him e, In 1884. Such a bridge has been advocated for over eighty years by the nations leaders. Daniel Webster declared, as orator upon the occasion of laying the corner atone for extension of the Capitol, July 4, 1851: Before us Is the broad and beautiful river, separating two of the original 13 states, which a late President, a man of determined purpose and Inflexible will, but patriotic heart, desired to span with arches of granite, symbolic of the firmly established union of the North and the South. That President was General Jackson. Under President Harding the commission adopted specifications which were given to the architects. Last spring President Coolldge transmitted to congress the commission's report and recommended that the work be b4gun without delay. The good American, visiting the capital for the first time gasps with amazement and then snorts In disgust upon beholding Pennsylvania avenue In the Immediate vicinity of the Capitol grounds. Probably no greater contrast exists In all the civilized world than that between the last block of Washington's most famous avenue which ends at the steps to the Capitol Tawdry booths line the street. And past this go the great national processions from the Cupltol to the National Cemetery at Arlington. Representative Charles L. Underhill of Massachusetts, a member of tha house district committee, bus Introduced a bill authorizing an appropriation of $15,0U0,00O for the purchase by the government of all the land It requires for complete ownership of the Mall site, and this Includes the unsightly squnres on Pennsylvania avenue.
