BaItimore's Harbor
Bridge Project Called
No. | Postwar Plan
By the Associated Press.

-
ANNAPOLIS, Dec. Ain a report
on the highway project of the
greatest Importance to the State.
Baltimore City and the nation the
State Roads Commission informed
Gov. OConor today that the pro-
posed Baltimore harbor bridge and
its arterial highway connections was
the number one postwar project be-
fore the commission"
The construction work in the Bal
timore area, listed by the commits
sion, included the proposed toll
bridge over the Patapsco river from
Canton to Fairfield high-speed linn
tied access approaches connecting
the bridge with the Philadelphia
road on the Northeast of the city
with both present and proposed
routes to Washington on the South
west; ana the freeway connection
between the proposed new Balti-
more Washington highway and the
Franklin street route through Balti-
more.
The commission estimated that
approximately 100000 vehicles an
nually would use the Patapsco river
bridge.
Included in Program.
In making the report public, the
Governor announced he already has
directed that the bridge project and
its approaches be considered as part
of the State Roads Commission S
postwar program.
Maryland's bridge program, the
report disclosed, found its inspira-
ton in report of a State commits
sion appointed by Gov. Richie IL
years ago.
The report concluded that the
lack Of modern bridges spanning the
great waterways of Maryland-such
as the Chesapeake Bay, the Susque-
hanna, Potomac and PatapSco Riv-
ers-might become menace to the
economic welfare of the State.
Four Toll Bridges.
After careful study, the construc-
ton of four highway toll bridges Was
recommended as primary bridge
program. These spans included:
"Susquehanna River bridge at
Havre de Grace, Potomac River
bridge at Morgantown. Baltimore
Harbor bridge, and Chesapeake Bay
bridge between the Eastern and
Western Shores of Maryland.
Two of these, the Susquehanna
and Potomac River bridges, were
completed by 1910 and since then
have been in successful operation.
The bridge over the Patapsco.
and its connections, will provide a
necessary and vital link in the Az
lantic coastal highway route. will
shorten both the distance and the
travel time of through north south
traffic from Philadelphia to all
points south"

being in the "pin-up' class, has
some special talent such as sing

But even if she does none of
these things, a sparkling per-

the Judges who will convene the
9th of this month to pick the
lucky girl. She will represent
Michigan in the national contest
which, as in former years, will
be staged at Atlantic City.
However, il is urged that all
contestants who have not al
ready entered, do so at the first
opportunity, for within few

and some girl may miss the
chance OF lifetime by failing to
get her application in on time.
