New Toll Span A
Money Maker
The New Susquehanna Bridge
Collections Already
Total $148,633

After two months Of operation, the
new Susquehanna toll bridge at
Perryvflle has proved its ability as a
Class A money-maker, the State
Roads Commission discloses.
Checking up on the latest toll co.'s
lection reports, William A. Codd,
chief auditor, announced the bridge
currently was producing enough rev.
enue to pay debt service on Its own
bonds and In addition on those of
the new Potomac river bridge, which
hasn't opened yet.
But the rate of collections is too
good to last, Mr.. Codd warned. 1t
was increased artifcally in Septem-
Der and October by the Labor Day
traffic and the Havre de Grace race
meets, and now is dropping steadily
toward the level of the original es-
Inmates.
The figures on the revenue of the
Susquehanna span showed that from
the day 1t opened, August 20, thru
October 81, toll collections averaged
$2,OO9 daily. Mr.. Codd said $1,422
daily was needed to pay debt service
on the 100000 bond issue for
both bridges.
Through November IL, the last
date available for checking, 67O,134
vehicles had passed the toll gates,
paying $148,633. Before the bridge
was built, traffic engineers had esti-
mated an average of 423,0OO a year
paying an average of SLIGO a day.
Collections now are dropping to-
ward normal, after the holiday
and race-track season. The Potomac
river bridge is scheduled to open
soon and to contribute its tolls to-
ward the total revenue.
1t is estimated the daily collec-
tions of the Potomac river structure
will average only a quarter OF the
revenue from the Susquehanna span.

Canning Company Dis
tributes Good Cheer

The Silver Canning Company, OF
Oolora, added to the Thanksgiving
good cheer of farmers in this local
ity on Wednesday, November 90, by
payment on that date Of the growers
OF sweet corn throughout this Sec
ton, who had delivered their crop to
the plant during the packing season.
The amount paid was between
$4,000 and $4,000, and 1t has
been the custom of the Company the
past thirty years to make payment on
November 20. The money represent
ed between 1900 and 1900 tons Of
corn grown by farmers Of this i'm
mediate section. Due to drought and
damage by the Japanese beetle the
sweet corn crop was short this sea-
son, and under normal condition
on, and under normal condition
should have been fully 1000 tons.
In addition the company paid out
between $4,000 and $1,000 for labor,
all of which was local, the policy
being that all necessary help shall be
from this nearby sectiOn.~
The company is making prepare
tons to erect new 80 80 IT. ware
house for increased storage space,
made necessary by the growing de-
mand of the Silver Company popu-
lar products, "Blue Bell'', Young
and Tender, and "Our Finest.
The prospects are bright for in
creased trade the coming season to
supply brokers in Kansas City, Texas
and California, in addition to their
regular trade in Philada. and Bal
timore.
The Silvers were the first Gamers
In Maryland, Delaware, New Jersey
and Virginia to pack Golden Bantum
corn in vacuum. The product proved
better than the advertised Govern
rnent graded pack on the market.
The factory is to be equipped with
Improved machinery to pack this new
and increasingly popular product,
which was previously the exclusive
output of Illinois and Minnesota
packers.
