Judge Dancy has been commune
eating with both Montgomery and

In explaining his advocacy OF the
state highway department taking
over the project. the county Judge
states: MY suggestion Ct the high
way commission building and own
ing this causeway is not in the atti-
tude Of passing the buck. but with q
view that this is the best agency to
W such an important improve
ment. We know and would expect
that the United States government
would tie this up 50 that 1t would in
effect control the collection OF tolls,
etc, but the very best we could do.
Such things as politics sometimes
creep IN, and 1t would be FAR bet
ter that this be owned by the sta.e
highway commission. II not owned
by the highway commission. and II
same was to be built and owned by
the county. I would want on every
