Delaware Bridge Free of Tolls.

The New Hope Delaware Bridge,
spanning the river between Lambert
vile and New Hope, is now free of
tolls, the states of New Jersey and
Pennsylvania having officially taken
over the structure last Saturday.
The price paid was $225,OOO, half
by each state. The city of Lambert
vile will lose 81 ,535 per year in taxes
on the 1919 basis, and New Hope
borough will lose $3.50 for borough
and school purposes, the assessment
in the former place being $4,000 and
in the latter $4,000.
Whistles in the two towns were
blown last Saturday after the gates
were thrown open, but there was no
general celebration, owing to the cold
wather and the unexpectedness of the
affair, the date being known but an
hour or two ahead of the actual OPEN
ing.
William Masten, one of the ticket
agents at the bridge, has been re-
tanned as guard and is making neces-
airy repairs to the planking of the
structure. 1t will require the services
of one man all the time, at least, to
take care of the bridge, and Mr..
Masten will probably be continued in
the position.

ing. Miss MARROW spoke of the new

ed that the schools abroad were
founded on a little school in Massaz
