Toll Roads Are Profitable

The old saying that nobody likes toll roads
may have to be revised in the light of recent
developments in the toll-road field. Take tie
New Jersey Turnpike, for instance. Enough mo-
florists liked that superhighway during its first
year of operation to contribute to the Turnpike
Authority total of $16,748000 during the IL
months ended November 30. After payment of
s. million interest on bonds and nearly 50 mil
lion in operating and other expenses net profit
of nearly 81 million will remain. That is far
above the estimates of even the more optimistic
Of the turnpike's promoters.
The turnpike report is of timely interest be-
cause Of the increasing talk of toll-financing in
connection with highway programs in many
States, including Maryland The Maryland State
Roads Commission recently suggested the adj
visibility of study of the toll system OF f1nanc-
ing major expressways and bridges Marylands
far-reaching road construction program will re-
quire special financing methods if 1t is to be
carried forward at q pace designed to meet
developing trafhc needs The toll proposal
undoubtedly will be considered at the forthcom-
ing session Of the Maryland General Assembly.
Pennsylvania, New York and other States
have adopted the toll system as means OF pay
Ing for some urgent highway projects, especially
those which benefit through-traffic. Virginia II
