Bridge Plan Vetoed as Repairs Deferred by Engineer Hunt
District officials consider delaying action on a Q street bridge over Rock Creek after engineer C B Hunt rejects a $25,000 Pratt truss project. Contractors seek $5,000 damages if Woodley Lane bridge is moved before July 1907. Douglas notes Woodley Lane costs extend to about $18,000 versus Thompson bridge, while a temporary wooden span faces fire department objections.

With twelve tugs ready, Harbormaster Sutton awaits congressional funding to clear the Potomac of ice. A meeting with Commissioner Macfarland and Engineer Douglas concluded tugs can open a channel faster than explosives, though charges may be used if beneficial.

Vestibules for Street Cars and City Proposals
The Commissioners reported a Congress bill to require street car vestibules for motormen. Col. Biddle to review. A year hence, car owners may install vestibules voluntarily, and Macfarland backs the principle. Florists oppose the master builders license bill, warning it burdens greenhouse work and could raise costs. Hotel Johnson Cafes advertise meeting services and menus.
