POCOmOke Bridge Company
Re-Orqanized.

AT a meeting of the Pocomoke Bridge
Company held last Saturday, a new
board of directors was chosen as fol-
lows James T. Young. Z. G. Polk,
Harry Clarke, Alfred p Dennis and c.
w. Fontaine. of Princess Anne. These
directors organized by electing Alfred
p. Dennis president and James I. Young
secretary and treasurer. AS 81 800. 90
represents the minimum amount neces-
sary to keep the bridge in repair and
yield three per cent. interest on the
stock, it was voted by the board to
raise this sum, and the Worcester Coun-
ty Commissioners agreed to levy 81, 000.-
90 of the whole amount. Somerset
County has granted but S4O0 90. where
formerly 100000 was given annually
toward the maintenance of the bridge.
1t is within the power of the Company
to levy toll upon the citizens of Somer-
set County, but out of regard for the
interests of the Pocomoke merchants,
whose customers are drawn in large
numbers from across the bridge, it was
decided to waive this right for the
present and accept the $4,000 grant.
The bridge is now in bad condition and
will, we understand, require an expen-
diture this year of not less than 81, OOO.-
90 for its general over-hauing. The
returns to the stockholders from the
bridge for the past three years has
averaged only one per cent, while for
the past ten years the stock has aver
aged less than two per cent. The ar
rangement for this year is temporary
in its nature, as the stockholders are
far from being satisfied with the grant
from Somerset County. At the in
stance of Somerset the validity of the
old charter under which that county
was required to pay the 100000 per
annum to the maintenance of the bridge
was successfully attacked, and as the
stockholders have no guarantee what
ever that Somerset will contribute an
adequate amount toward the mainte-
nance Of the bridge. it is probable that
the question of levying toll upon Som
erset residents crossing the bridge will
again come up.
