TO MAKE ROADS FREE
A Appropria tion of $25o,OO0

Specially Desired - Prices
Must Be Right.

HARRISBURG, July 17.-state High
way Commissioner Cunningham has
opened negotiations with a number Of
turnpike companies, including that con-
trolling six miles Of the Chester and
Darby pike. with the object OF securing
! offers for their purchase by the State
| Highway Department The turnpikes
selected are the ones considered most
| important in the Sproul system OF high
ways and II is the intention Of the de-
partment to acquire these properties SO
that no turnpikes will exist on State
highways.
The appropriation for 1915 and 1916 for
the purchase of turnpikes is s25O,OOO. Com
missioner Cunningham believes that it
will be possible to make considerable
progress in the purchase OF these turn
pixies II the counties through which they
pass furnish the right cooperation and.
possibly, financial assistance to the State
Highway Department In acquiring the
properties.
When prices which are regarded as ex-
cesslve are placed on properties by the
turnpike companies the state Highway
Department Contemplates either the con-
struction of roads parallellng the turn
pixies and connecting with the State high
ways at each end or dverting the money
from that county to be used for the pur-
chase OF turnpikes in other countries
where "A disposition to play fair with the
