bridge. which as | have said, is toll
bulge.
l want to say for the benefit of the
senator from Aroostook, that the pub
lie utilities will have nothing to do
about this bridge, for the reason that
the toll is collected on the other end.
The Boston IL Maine owns the
bridge and owns New Hampshire and
it also owns the toll gate, and the re-
suit is that tolls have been constant
ly going up until now they have "a
nice little system of cxtortion III re-
gard to the collection of tolls from
automobiles. The result is that it has
become a nuisance to the great body
of summer residents and visitors.
The state of New Hampshire in the
last years has appropriated money for
the construction of boulevards. one
of these runs around the shore front
and into Portsmouth, and comes al
most to the end of the bridge, and
goes up the river from Dover INTO
Britton. New Hampshire has THIS
system of boulevards so that peopis
who travel over these roads may keep
within the state. We have great
deal of fault found by people coming
into Maine who are held up every
time they cross the bridge.
This bridge is not only an injury 10 our
summer business, but it is an INJURY 10
all business, even an injury TO speopie
who live within 10 or - miles OF Dover
which is a trading center.
