ARMY OFFICIALS TO DECIDE
FATE OF OLD SPAN
Old Susquehanna Bridge Seems Headed For
The Government Scrap Pile

Because no money is available fol
maintenance, the structure is slowl!
disintegrating.
1t was called the "gold-min'
bridge" because it Melted a fortune
to incorporators Of the company thai
operated it for more than 18 years
after acquiring it for $700 and Their
sold it to the state of Maryland fol-
$685., 900.
1t has been the nations No. / po
tential scrap pile for more than six
months.
First Span Built in 1875
The first Susquehanna span wa:
first built of wood on the site in 1866
by the old Philadelphia, Wilmington
and Baltimore Railroad Company
This structure was replaced with 9
wrought-iron span in 1875.
In 1904 new steel railroad bridge
was erected. By this time the Penn
sylvania Railroad had taken over the
span.
The railroad, after trying to give
the span to Hartford and Cecil Coun.
ties, spent $4,000 making the struc-
ture fit for highway traffic. 1t was
finally taken over by the Havre de
Grace-Perryville Bridge Company in
1908 and opened to traffic in 1910.
The State Roads Commission &C.
quired it in 1928, and by 1926 collect
ed sufficient tolls to pay off out
standing bonds and interest and
made it toll free.
The structure gained nationwide
attention in 1927 when it was double
decked with 1890 tons of new steel
added to the original 1926 tons con-
tanned in the single-deck structure.

Hiring Autos For
Election Purposes
Violation Of Law

The Grand Jury in its report at
the September term of Cecil Circuit
Court stated that the practice of
hiring automobiles for political pur-
poses is a direct violation of the
motor vehicle laws of Maryland, the
jurors advised that this policy must
be discontinued. 1t was added that
the use of cars for this purpose is a
reflection on our all outeffOrt to
conserve oil and rubber. Unless the
practice is abated, the Grand Jury
will convene after the coming cleo
ton to take such action as may
seem fit.
States Attorney Edward D. E.
Rollins was commended for his eff
forts in enforcement of law and
order for the past IL years. Rollins
will represent the State as prose-
cutting attorney for the last time
during the current term.
According to the report, the
county Jail and the Aims House are
in satisfactory condition.
26 presentments were submitted
to the jury, 81 true bills were found,
8 ignored and withdrawn.

The fate of the old so-called "goid
mine" double decker bridge between
Perryville and Havre de Grace, which
has been in a state of uncertainty
ever since the new bridge across the
Susquehanna river was opened, is
now up to the Third Service Com
mand of the War Department, as the
War Production Board officials eye
its 3,495 tons of steel and metal for
scrap.
Gov. Herbert r. O'Conor of Mary
land, who already has saved the old
3,2S0foot bridge once or twice upon
the appeal of commuters Of the two
towns and business organizations,
has asked the Command officials for
an unbiased opinion on the import
ance of the structure from a military
viewpoint. Six months ago officials Of
this department said the bridge had
strategic value for emergency use
and recommended it's retention.
If military authorities decide the
bridge has no strategic value, the
governor proposes Immediately to
call meeting of the department of
public works to act on the WPB's
proposal.
The WPB wants to scrap the old
span to feed the nations steel mills.
The state would be put to no ex-
pense. In fact, it would be saved an
outlay of something like $1,000 ann
ually for drawkeepers.
Closed to Vehicles
AS it is now, the bridge is closed
to vehicular traffic, but several hun
dred pedestrians use it daily in pass
ing between Havre de Grace and
Perryville.
