MARYLAND TO HAVE
TWO-DECK BRIDGE
Upper Roadway for Present
Havre de Grace Span to Be
Completed Within a Year.

Operations intended to sake the
Susquehanna River Bridge at Havre
de Grace. Md, the only double-decked
structure of it's kind in the United
States will begin shortly, contract for
the work having been just let by the
Maryland State Roads Commission.
The addition to the present struc-
ture will make it possible for traffic
on one deck to move one way while
that on the other deck moves in an
opposite direction. The belief Of John
n. Mackall, chairman of the State
Roads Comission, is that the two road
ways will fill long-felt need to ex-
pedite the movement Of traffic at this
point.
Viaduct to Be Built.
A viaduct will be built at each
end of the bridge running to the
level of the upper deck. The viaduct
on the Perryville side will be 600 feet
long and on the Havre de Grace side
800 feet long. These approaches will
be so curved that they will avoid
meeting the lower road and thus
prevent confusion among motorists
1t is considered sizable engineer
without interfering with the traffic
on the bridge, which is contemplated
by the plans adopted.
Contract for the upper roadway
and other changes made nece| ~
by the operations projected cal ~or
an expenditure of $237,730. 1t is
stipulated in the contract that the
work which is getting under way
Immediately is to be completed
within a year. A penalty of SO is
fixed for every day the bridge re-
mains unfinished after the specified
date. Work on the bridge is to be
carried on without interfering with
vehicular traffic across it.
Known as "GOId Mine."
The bridge was for years owned by
private interests who collected tolls
from motorists. Thus it became known
as the Gold Mine" Bridge. 1t was
purchased by the State on November
%, 1922, for $5S5 ,000 Plans were
made to abolish the collection as soon
as the bridge was paid for. Under the
new plans the toll charge is to be con.
tinued until the original cost and the
additional expenses of construction
work are paid. 1t Is probable that
tolls will not be abolished until the
end of 1928.
Pedestrians will be cared for as well
as motorists under the new plans. The
lower roadway will include footways
for pedestrians. Thus the bridge will
be made to accommodate greater traf
fic both afoot and by vehicle, expedit
ing movement of all at point where
such expansion of facilities is believed
necessary.

STANDARD HEIGHT
BUMPERS URGED

Official Says.

In the interest Of reducing property

Hugo Meyer. secretary-manager of

comes out with a plea for standard
height for bumpers.
I'VE think that a standard height
of bumper would give a great deal
more protection to the mOtOrist and
his property than the present system
of having the bumper placed on the
front or rear of the car at an indiS-
criminate height" says Mr.. Meyer.
"If the rear bumper on the car in
front of you Is 20 inches from the
surface of the road, and the bumper
on the front Of your car is "a inches
from the surface. neither has the
slightest bit of protection. O.
Even Slight Bump Hurts.
Suppose the man ahead Of you has
stopped suddenly while driving
through traffic. He had four-wheel
hydraulic brakes, and has stopped
as the expression is, on a dime. You
are watching him carefully, we admit
but his brakes are just little more
efficient than yours. Result-a bump.
1t may be a slight bump, but expert
ence has taught that even slight
bump will dent a fender, or a tire
carrier, or rip the spare tire cover. or
smash lamp or two.

Ford Plans to Employ
5000 Boys to Keep Them
Out of Crimes Pathway

NEW YORK, Nov. 23 P-Henry
Ford plans to compete with the devil,
who proverbially finds work for idle
hands to do, it was revealed today
In an interview with the automobile
man in Worlds Work.
Ford's plan is simply to get honest
work into the idle hands before the
devil has chance to set them at
dishonest work.
Crime, Ford says, is largely an eX-
preston of desire to get easy
money, and is committed in the main
by youths not being taken care OF
by industry.
"As an experiment" he says, we
have instructed our employment or
ficers to take on 5000 boys between
16 and 20 as quicay as possible
put them at mems work and pay
independence wages"
Ford says he takes no stock in this
talk about boys and girls having
degenerated," but that wnen they arS
released from school, a crisis comes
10 most. After a few efforts to get
work, he says, they drift into idle
ness and loose ways

from 25 cents decline to cents ad-

Lowest prices of the day in the
wheat market were reached in the last

sell, found that demand had flattened
out. Fears of Canadian rail strike

MEXICO NATIONAL
RAILWAYS ADOPTS
NEW FUEL RATES

MEXICO CITY, Nov. % Especial to
the Dispatch) An entirely new
schedule OF freight charges on fuel,
petroleum, coal and coke is to be put
into effect by the National Railway
shortly. The new schedules have
been under consideration for several
months and have been carefully pre-
pared. They have already been ap-
proved by the department of COM
munications.
One of the important changes made
in the new schedule is to cancel
the contracts which existed between
several large smelters and similar
plants, the coal mine owners and
petroleum companies and the Nationai
Railways by which these companies
received a preferential freight rate.
Douglas daily dispatch., 1926-11-24

The new schedule lowers the former
rate but raises the preferential rate to
make it equal for all.
AS an instance of this the coke
shipped from Agujita to Mexico City
paid 1929 pesos but the preferential
rate was 8 pesos. The new rate Will
be 1920 pesos for all. In spite OF
the reductions made it is believed
that the new schedule will mean no
decrease of revenue to the railway
companies, since the small shippers
will be encouraged to use the rail-
roads by the new schedule.
