Peoples Column
To the Editor of the Worcester Demo-

To the Editor of the Worcester Demo-
crat:
There is a proposition before the
County Commissioners for the build
ing of a Toll road from Ocean City
north to Fcnwick Island, distance of
& miles, by the Maryland Ocean-Shore
Turnpike Company. They are asking
the Couny Commissioners to grant a
Turnpike road with the privilege of
charging toll. These petitioners state
that they have no assets but must is
Sue stock in the amount of 100000
to build this road.
The proposit on appears to me to
be a unique feature in the building of
reads for this county and knowing
that the toll system for roads is now
considered by people generally to be
an archaic institution, am somewhat
hesitant in endorsing this scheme.
1t is the intention of the Board to
act on this matter on Tuesday,. We
siblity that the county in time to come
may be compelled to take over this
road at quite considerable expenditure
in the event of the failure of the
present Company or on the demands
Of the citizens of the county and
State, in which case the county would
have to bond itself to the amount of
possibly $4,000 or more.
AS president of the Board of Com
missioners and with their consent and
approval / wrote to John N. Mackall,
chairman of the State Roads Commits
sion, in reference to the suggested
plan of building this road as toll
road and quote as follows para
graph from his letter:
every road which was ever built
as toll road, and in fact every road
on which toll has been collected, has
been part of road system built
because of the demands of the trav-
cling public for it. Such, of course,
cannot be said of this, and in the final
analysis it is essentially part of a
real estate scheme. X y y The cost
Of this road might we'll be absorbed
in the cost of the real estate TO be de-
veloped, and I strongly urge your
Board to deny the petition of the
Company to either construct, main
tain or operate a toll road, or to
charge and collect the tolls set forth
in paragraph 10 of their petition, or
to generally do the things necessary
or advisable to- construct and operate
a toll road from Ocean City to the
Maryland-D Delaware line"
I am quite eager to see as many
improved roads in the county as we
can possibly obtain, yet taking into
consideration the many disadvantages
which occur to me to arise from es-
tablishing a precedent of building toll
roads in this county I feel reluctant
to approve a scheme of this sort I'M
less he same meets with the general
approval of the residents of this
county and an expression of opinion
by next Tuesday will be greatly ap-
preciated by me.
