lost out. the President in his press con-
ference let 1t be known that the bank
ers couldn't finance Maryland's part.
Promptly the spokesman for the bank
ers said this wasn't so and proclaimed
the bankers could finance it II the
r. w. A. would do its share.
Caught in this dilemma, the P. WA.
then refused the funds for the second
hridge-the one at Morgantown. Md
and said that only the grant for the
nrst bridge could be made without
giving Maryland an undue share of the
public works fund Of the President. !"
Now comes the announcement that
money Is available for the second
bridge and with it one Is led to believe
that the bankers were the folks who
blocked it heretofore. The P. w. A..
statement reads: Assurances now
nave been given to P. w. A. by the
State OF Maryland that it is now in a
position to finance 55 per cent of the
cost OF the Morgantown bridge. As
che project was able to meet P. w. A.
requirements, and as the sponsor was
able to provide its share of the cost,
the grant was approved"
The Bankers Attitude,
But the record will show that there
never was any unreadiness on the part
OF the bankers for the State of Mary
land to finance the two bridges or
even three. Their position has been
made clear to the P. w. A. right along
What then happened? One is left to
surmlse that the criticism which fol-
lowed the administrations unwilling
ness to redeem its virtual pledge to
the people Of Maryland to give them
two bridges struck home. But instead
OF announcing that the P. w. A. bud
get had been enlarged or rearranged.
the whole responsibility for the mix
up Is placed on the bankers, the as
sumption being that bankers don't
want to do things to Cooperate with
the P. w. A. program.
As a matter Of fact, the bankers
have been at all times eager to finance
not only two but three bridges, and
the State Of Maryland has been anx-
ious to get these spans across the Po-
tomac and the Susquehanna built as
sooA a. possible. rT' - a. >*f1Ht
$50 Primary Involved.
The bridges aren't in themselves
important national issues. They are
needed locally and perhaps form a
part Of the scheme Of national defense
highways. What Is important Is that
bridges did become part Of the dis
cussion by President of the United
States in the middle of a bitter pri-
mary contest and then, when the cam
paign Is over and the administration
attempts to slide out Of its promise
the critics get busy and virtually force
the promise to be kept. Maryland was
anxious to get its bridges but the rest
Of the country has to pay subsidy of
approximately 100000. Politics is
Q costly business.
There are, of course, Democratic
members OF Congress to be elected In
Maryland who doubtless will be helped
BY the prompt announcement about
the second bridge. In Maryland the
Democrats just now are trying to put
on harmony show, Notwithstanding
the purge" tactics of the administra :
ton, 50 1t may be that the P. w. A.
grants will serve as a bridge between
factions, too.
