NORFOLK, Va.-Work is
well under way on the Hamp-
ton Roads underwater crossing
which eventually may lead to
creation of a city which may
rank, after Houston, as the
No. l population center of
Dixie.
The bridge-tunnel is Vir'
ginia's largest single highway
project. 1t will cost $58.5
million.
Last January, Norfolk an
nexed over II square piles to
become the biggest city in
Virginia, population-wise. An
other annexation suit late this
summer will seek to add to its
100000 inhabitants.
A trench-type tunnel already
connects this city with Ports
mouth, just across the Eliza
beth River, making Norfolk the
heart of a "city" Of more than
446,000 on the south side of
Hampton Roads.
The new tunnel which, with
approach roads, will total %
miles, will form a direct link
with the three cities on the
north side of one of the worlds
finest seaports. They are
Hampton, Newport News and
Warwick. They had a COM
bined population of 143,000 by
the 1850 census but have grown
tremendously since then. The

The general foul-up which
has begged down the Salk
polio vaccination program has
given a breathing spell to the
District Commissioners on at
least one major policy decision.
It did so by saving them
from any possibility of being
stampeded into the expanded
program urged by DR.. Daniel
L. Seckinger, the city's public
health director.
Moreover, it gives to the
newest District Commissioner,
Robert E. Mclaughlin, who is
charged with supervising the
Health Department, some time
to get his feet planted squarely
under the desk recently vacated
by Renah F. Camalier. before
facing the issue.
Specifically, the question is:
How far shall the District
government go in giving Salk
vaccinations? Should they be
given to all school children
and everyone else who might
benefit? Or should there be a
test of ability to pay? And,
if so, what?
Certainly it would cost the
District government and it's
taxpayers hundreds of thou
sands of dollars a year to
shoulder the whole load.
Whether they ought to do so
is up to the Commissioners
and to the Congress.
So far the city has enjoyed
a relatively free ride on the
gravy train dispatched by the
National Foundation for In
fantile Paralysis.
The Commissioners first
climbed aboard, q couple of

also got the $29 million con-
tract to build Maryland's Bal
timore Harbor tunnel.
Like Baltimore Tube
Engineering techniques on
both are similar.
The Hampton Roads UNDER
water tube will be longer
7,479 feet - compared with
$500 feet for Baltimore. But
the Maryland job consists of
twin tubes, each carrying
traffic one direction on a %
foot roadway, while the
Hampton Roads tunnel will be
one tube with a road width of
% feet for both traffic lanes.
Other facts about the Vir-
ginia job: At its deepest point
it will be 113 feet beneath the
surface; the approach trestle
from the end of Willoughby
Spit on the Norfolk side will
extend Clio feet to the south
portal island; on the north
side the trestle will run out
1920 feet to the portal island
there.
A trench-type tunnel is one
that is literally floated into
place. It's core is made of
massive sections of steel tube
castings, prefabricated ashore
and launched sidewise, like
some ships.
Last month the first Of %
tubes, each 300 feet long, was
launched at Eddystone, Pa,
near Chester. Three days later
it had been towed through the
Delaware Chesapeake Canal.
down Chesapeake Bay and
moored at the contractors
processing dock here.
How Tube Is Built
The tube section now is be-
ing lined with an inner ring
of concrete making 1t weigh as
much as a Navy cruiser. Then

MARYLAND
Stote Aid to Schools
Is Political Football

ton aid, the legislators pro-
ceeded to pass, with only one
dissent, a bill raising the
State payment to $40 per
pupil. However, the new for
mula would not become effec-
tive until June l, 1856.
Increasing the incentive aid
this year would have upset
Democratic plans to balance
the State budget without re-
sorting to the drastic increases
in sales and income taxes pro-
posed by Gov. McKeldin. The
one-year postponement had
the added appeal to Demo-
cratic leaders of forcing Gov.
McKeldin to find means of A.
nancing the increase in next
years budget (while they
basked in the credit for help
ing build needed schools.
After the Legislature had
packed up and gone home for
the year. Gov. McKeldin We
toed the incentive fund in
crease, thus setting up another
battle on the issue next year
when the Legislature gets a
chance to override the veto.
In his veto message released
the other day, Gov. McKeldin
accused the Legislature Of be-
ing insincere by passing the
bill without making some
provision for financing it. He
recalled that the so per cent
increase in sales and income
taxes he had proposed to the
Legislature would have left
almost 81 million in surplus
funds for use in the 1861
fiscal year. He earlier had
hinted that the surplus should
go for schools.
The Governor appeared to
be on less firm ground in his
veto message when he adopted
the Green Commissions in
sistence that any increase in
incentive aid be accompanied
by legislation "for the equal
izing of property assessments
for this purpose.
In addition to the question
of whether it is a legislative or
executive responsibility to see
that assessments are equalized,
there is considerable opinion
that the vetoed bill would have
been a big step toward the
fairer distribution of State aid
Mr.. McKeldin purports to seek.
BY doubling per-pupil aid
without changing the scent
county tax rate factor the We
toed bill would distribute the
biggest increases to the larger
counties-such as Montgomery
and Prince Georges-which
have not been getting their
fair share of State aid under
the present formula.

A Bigger Job
Already there is long-range
thinking about another tube
under the huge expanSe where
Chesapeake Bay empties into
the Atlantic. This would con-
meet the Eastern Shore with
the Norfolk Princess Anne
County area. But Virginia
wants first things done first.
Highway Commissioner James
A. Anderson has said he pre-
fers to see the Hampton Roads
project completed before the
bigger job is studied seriously.
An imposing display of ma
rine equipment, including
dredges, pile drivers and util-
ity boats, greets the eyes Of
visitors who make the Nor
folk Newport News ferry cross

Merritt Chapman g. Scott of

the job. It amounts to more
than $19 million for the tun-
mel and approach trestles.

The whole $58.5 million
project is being financed out
of a sos million bond issue
authorized by the 1850 Gen.

expected to be retired in 40
