liz ld'N llldl lhlH was WV va AhN i'''N
~, itable of the toll roads in the state
in the last quarter of a century.
With the lifting of the tolls, the
GIouceSt Woodbury. turnpike, which
was chartered i'm 1880, automatically
becomes a part of the new state high
way system, being a section of Route
G, extending from Camden to Wood
bury and to Bridgeton. 1t is to be
widened, paved and kept in good re-
para condition that did not prevail
on many of those CompHny-cOntrolled
t%urnpikes that continued in existence
during the last decade under the wear
and tear of motor traffic.
Among the first of the states i'm the
Union to establish toll roads. New
Jersey has been among the leaders
in a%bolishing the system as Anticipated
and as an obstacle to traffic and COM
merce. Not only has it made its roads
free. but to provide even easier ac-
cess to them this state has Joined with
New York to tunnel the Hudson River
for vehicular traffic, with Pennsylvania
TO span the Delaware River at Phila-
delphia for a monumental bridge, and
with Delaware to operate ferries be-
tween the capeS. carrying to the very
limit the theory that the interest of
the community. the state and the ma
tion are best served by free and easily
accessible highways.
