FOR SPAN TOLL
TO WIDEN ROAD
Elkton Willing To Pay Inter
est on Bond Issue With
Bridge Tolls For Road
ROAD TO BE 40 FT. WIDE

With SO many Delaware, Penn
sylvania and Maryland motorists
anxious to see a 40-foot wide Bal
timore road all the way to the
Delaware State line, it is interest
ing to note that municipalities near
the Susquehanna River Bridge, who
after all, must bear the greater
blunt of the project, are coming
over, one by one, in favor of bridge
tolls to pay interest on the bond
issue for the sake of acquiring the
greater convenience that such a
road will give. Last week the ElR-
ton Md Town Council and the
Elkton Chamber of Commerce
went on record as favoring the
Baldwin bill, now before the Mary
land Legislature, which calls for
the widening Of the present Phila-
delphia road, from Baltimore to
the Delaware State line, by way
of Aberdeen, Havre de Grace, Per-
ryville, North East and Elkton to
a 40-foot highway. The bill calls
for the issuing of S4,000,O00 in
bonds by the State and placing the
State-owned Susquehanna river
bridge, between Perryville and
Havre de Grace, on the toll bridge
list. The revenue to be derived
from tolls are to be used for paw
ing interest on the bonds and re-
ducing the principal. When the
principal will have been met the
bridge is again to be made a free
highway. It is estimated that it
will require about ten or twelve
years to pay off the bonds from
tolls Of the bridge. The bill also
provides that the residents of Har-
ford and Cecil counties be issued
tickets at a nominal sum.

find both pride and interest IN the
announcement that Hon Franklin

tanning about 43 acres and now
known as Jefferson Island, has
been selected as the Roosevelt va
