Collections OF Tolls On
Bridges Show Big Gains

Collections of tolls on the
Overseas Highway bridges are
showing decided gains, and al
though last month, with $751;
375.75, showed an increase of
more than $1,000 over Decem+.
Der of 1914, the receipts, up to
yesterday, for this month, had
exceeded the total collected last
month, B. M. Duncan, engineer
for the Overseas Road and
Bridge Toll District, said today.
Mr.. Duncan added that he
thought the collection this month
will range between $4,000 and
$4,000.
This month will show by far
the largest collection during a
January in the history of the
Overseas Highway. The former
record for January was in 1941
when collections totaled $751;
694.
Mr.. Duncan also said that, be-
cause of the excellent condition
of the highway since the recent
improvements that totaled more
than 100000, as many as 5000
motor vehicles could be accom-
modated on the highway every
day.
Facilities, he stated, are such
that the collections could amount
to 100000 a month without
creating any condition that
would resemble traffic jam.
When the old bridges were in
use, he explained, Van drivers
had to stop, when they saw vans
approaching from the other di-
rect on and give the Come on
signal. but today vans pass one
The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1946-01-28

another on the bridges without
h3vino to slow down.
In the time of the old bridges,
during the early days of the
war, when collections were as
good as they are now, and the
record monthly collection of
S40,590 was established, many a
night, Mr.. Duncan Sa d, he was
fearful of traffic jams, but, he
added, with the bridges and
highway in the condition they
are now, twice as much traffic
could be accommodated without
running any danger of a jam
occurring.
Three thousand cars a day,
$4,000 month, are the number
CT motor vehicles the Overseas
Highway can accommodate, Mr..
Duncan concluded.
