TURNPIKE GATES
ON ANOTHER GO
Highway Commissioner Buys
Lancaster and Susque-
hanna Turnpike Today

The Lincoln Highway in Pennsyl-
vania was freed entirely from the toll
road nuisance, when negotiations
were concluded to-day and the final
papers signed by State Highway
Commissioner ]. Denny IONeil and
ofhciais of the turnpike company,
Tor the freeing of the Lancaster and
Susquehanna turnpike, in Lancaster
county. Tourists and trucks using the
Lincoln Highway may now travel
from the Ohio state line to the New
Jersey state line without the annoy
apce of paying toll.
Since his appointment as Highway
commissioner f Pennsylvania, less
than year ago, Commissioner
ONeil has succeeded in freeing ap-
proXimately two hundred miles OF
pay-as-you-drive" roads. which were
located in Dauphin, Berks, Lebanon
Westmoreland, Fayette, Blair, Bucks
Fulton. Franklin, Montgomery. Della
ware, Lancaster, York and Adams
counties.
The Pennsylvania Legislature, al
its 1917 session, appropriated $780,
600 to the State Highway Depart
ment. for the purpose of freeing toll
roads located on state highway
routes. Commissioner O'Neil inaugu-
rated plan of cooperation with the
various counties, whereby a county
pays one-half of the cost of freeing
a toll-road, the state the remainder
and this plan has been carried out
with the exception of one or two
roads.
However, Pennsylvania is not yet
free from the tollroad nuisance, as
there are still 30S miles within its
borders, 1856 of which are located
on state highway routes and 1913 or
county roads.
