Opening of Old Dominion and Aqueduct Bridge traffic relief
Residential transfers show Wardman properties sold at 207 Eighteenth and 2418 Highteenth streets and a 2190 Fiabler Place corner sale, all to Wardman-related buyers for totals of 7200, 7250, and 4800 dollars. The Great Falls and Old Dominion Railroad costs reached 36000, far above the initial 15000 estimate as rails arrive, storage ready. Officials anticipate reduced congestion at Aqueduct Bridge with rail integration but note limited relief for Virginia traffic, urging Prospect avenue extension to ease west Georgetown flows.
