BRIDGES RADIO
ADDRESS TOPIC
PAUL II. MARKS GIVES STRIK-
ING POINTS OF
PROJECT

Breakfast in Miami, Lunch in
Key West, Dinner in Havana" was
the striking statement fired at
his radio audience by Paul H.
Marks, attorney for the Overseas
Road and Toll Bridge District, in
an address 6:15 o'clock last night
over WQAM.
1t was a gripping address. Mr..
Marks literally stung out the
many amazing phases of the new
Overseas Highway bridges, soon
to be completed, which was his
subject.
"This is only one of the posi-
bilities of the completed high
way" the attorney continued. "a
short sea trip between Key West
and Havana and another from the
southern tip of Cuba to the Yuca-
tan Peninsula completes a Pan.
American Highway all the way
from New York City to Buenos
Aires. 1t will cut 1900 miles
from the old way of going across
country to Mexico and then
down."
The news that the upper span
will be completed by December
Is, the dollar toll for cars. TWEEN
ty-five cents for each additional
passenger, q short history Of tbs
years of campaigning for the
bridges, and the wonderfully seen
ic drive which viii be tlse com
pleted highway, were other points
stressed.
