TOLL RRInGEs.

Efforts are once more being put forth in behalf of the ending of the tolls on the state bridges at New London. Say brook and East Haddam and placing the cost of maintaining those structures upon the taxpayers of the state instead of upon the users of the bridges.
 Getting across a river is difficult proposition unless some provision is made for negotiating the distance. Those who are desirous of getting from one side, to the other naturally expect some sort of service. and they are only too glad to pay for it, especially when it Is possible to get good service in place of that which has been decidedly made quate and unsatisfactory.
 Up to the time the New Haven road gave the Thames river bridge to the state and the commonwealth went to the expense of converting it to a high way structure getting across the river at that point was dependant upon a ferry. It was better thah nothing, but slow and inconvenient and there was much complaint because of the inability to handle the traffic expeditiously. New ertheless 1t was service and there was no complaint over the price exacted.
 Since the bridge has been opened the exasPerating delays caused by the ferry service have been overcome. Tn fact the service has been so much bettered shat there is no comparison. and those whc have repeatedly said that they would be willing to give good round sums for something that would replace the ferry and meet the needs have been satisfied They are getting the service which they should be and are willing to pay for ant they are not asking householders IF along the Massachusetts border to pay for their quick and easy trip across tn, river at New London any more thai they did in the past for ferry charges.
 The bridge is a great benefit to thos who use it and especially the lsrg amount of auto traffic but in view of tn improved service that is given him, mi the reduced price which those who us 1t often can get, the motorist has Ii ground for complaint.
