GIFT. MADE THEM WEALTHY
How Bridge Which Had Been Thought
White Elephant Brought Fortune
to Group of Maryianders.

Twelve years ago the Pennsylvania
railroad gave away an old bridge oyel
the Susquehanna river at Havre de
Grace to private interests; the build
ing of a new bridge had made 1t, ap
parently. valueless. Motorcars ever
since have been crossing the structure
in increasing numbers. and the men
who got the bridge for nothing in 1910
recently sold 1t to the state of Mary
land for $5S5,0OO And In - years It
was In their possession, they pocketed
$4,000 in dividends, all in toll
charges collected from motorcars.
When the new bridge made the old
one of doubtful use, the railroad com
pany offered 1t first to the state and
then to the county, but without sue
cess. If no one accepted 1t, the COM
pany was confronted with the neces-
sity Of removing it, which would have
been very expensive. So finally the
company changed 1t from railroad
bridge to highway bridge, and con.
sidered itself lucky in finding a group
accept the structure, which originally
had cost 100000.
The recipients put up $500 to organ
lie company. Last year the net re-
turns from the bridge were S65,000
The state will continue to collect tolls
until 1898, by which date 1t estimates
the proceeds will retire the bonds is

$685., 000.-Baltimore American.
