Bridge Tolls At Havre De Grace

The Public Service Commission has
adopted an order fixing June 21, at 10
a. m. as the time for the beginning of
the investigation of the tolls on the
bridge spanning the Susquehanna
river at Havre de Grace. Osborne /.
Iellott, assistant counsel to the COM
mission. was assigned to the conduct
of the case. The company owning tn :
bridge is ordered to lay before the
commission all documents and data in
its possession bearing on the case.
The hearing promises to be an i'm
portant and interesting one, especially
to automobilists who have complained
of the charge of 81 for each passage
over the bridge. The late Murray
Vandiver, of Havre de Grace, was one
of the stockholders. A bill introduced
in the last General Assembly made d
flat reduction to 80 cents for automo-
biles. 1t was claimed at the time that
the bill was thrust at General Van
diver, who was then in failing health,
and who had just been defeated for
reelection as state treasurer. The
bill was passed by the General AS
sembly, but was not approved by Gov
ernor Harrington.
The bridge was formerly used by
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
company when the new railroad bridge
and was turned over to the present
company when the new railroad bridge
was constructed
