New Winners Shows
At Georgetown Track

A new driver appeared in, the
winners circle at tie Georgetown
Speedway last weekend in the
NASCAR sanctioned sportsmen
stock car races. Horace Williams of
Bridgeville, Del, cDpped the
checkered flag in the 25-lap fea-
ture for his first main event win
of the current season. He drove
the red and white 1889 Ford coupe
No. Sd owned by Howard Davis.
Williams did not have an easy
victory as he had to fight it out
with Jaul Walker of Milton, DEL,
for the last 20 laps. The last 20
rounds were ridden Srith the two
cars not less than one car length
apart and with Walker taking the
lead on two occasions. Williams
finally took command of the field,
for the last time, on the Gath circle
of the half-mile banked oval. Fol-
lowing Williams and Walker a.
cross the finish line were Johnny
Martin, Jim Hayes and Elwood
Tucker for third, fourth and fifth,
respectively. There was not time

Another detail research report
has been issued from the University

Geologist Johan j. Groot dealing
with the ground water and mineral
resources of the state.
Hidden behind the formidable
geological title, "Sedimentary Pc
trology of the Cretaceous Sedi-
ments of Northern Delaware in Re-
lation to Photographic Problems" !"
is great mass of information
which should be of considerable
value in the development of indus
try in Delaware.
According to DR.. Groot, "Such
development cannot be accomplish
ed in an intelligent manner with
out thorough understanding of
the character, the properties, and
the origin of the rocks which con-
tain these natural resources"
The sediments of the Coastal
Flain of Delaware have never pre-
viousiy been studied in great de-
tail, although much information on
similar areas in New Jersey and
Maryland has been accumulated as
result of long years of inyessiga-
ton. While most of the geologic
formations of these states are SINH
lar to those in this state, there are
also some distinct differences and
study of the Delaware area prom
ised to provide some vital and
previously missing information.
In his 157 page report, DR.. Groot
describes many of the phases of
the geology of the northern part of
the state and illustrates his find
ings with appropriate maps, draw
ings, charts and photographs. Two
large supplements are provided in
a folder at the back of the report.
The recently published account
is the fifth bulletin issued by the
Delaware Geological Survey in the
past several years.

Memorial Bridge News

Recent newspaper accounts and
comments regarding the possibid-
| ty of building another bridge across
the Delaware River TO connect New
Jersey and the First State set Me-
mortal Bridge statisticians to work.
It seems that while discussing
limited access highways and poSSi-
bilities of needing another span in
10 or Is years, no one took into ac-
count the terrific potential of the
present bridge-provided of course
that access roads are built or the
Delaware side to keep traffic NOV
ing.
As Charles T. Gallagher Jr., gen.
eral manager, viii point out in his
annual report Soon to be released,
there seems to be relationship
between the number of car regis
trations and bridge traffic. United
States car registrations increased
in 1954-55 by approximately five
per cent-and this was the net in
crease in the number of vehicles
using Delaware Memorial Bridge.
The bridge statisticians pointed
out that should the rate of increase
of five per cent annually continue,
at the end of ten years, traffic
would only build up to fifty per
cent of capacity. 1t would be nearly
1870 before the fiscal year 1954-55
figures of 7,865,772 vehicles would
be doubled.
All this could be handled with
Hy-sl nnnroffnnc
provided the flow of traffic would
be fairly evenly distributed.
By actual count on Labor Day,
more than 5000 cars per hour were
handled for a two-hour period at
the peak of business. On a busy day
when the ten toll booths are in OPP
GRAFTON, toll takers have handled
IL vehicles each per minute. While
this would be exceptional, half
that number would be easily han
dled. Again, should volume be
steady, this could mean $1,000
crossings in single day.
The highest days traffic was re-
corded on July 3, 1855, with 4S,744
crossings. These were made with
out effort, without tie-up or delays
to the motorists.
Based on $1,000 daily crossings.
it is entirely possible to handle
12,35S.000 vehicles annually. The
highest monthly average figures
we're set in July, 1855, with 30,S6S
crossings. This means that in or
der to reach that volume, there
must be a one hundred per cent
daily increase in business based
on the busiest month the span has
experienced to date.
Taking 1855 figures and COM
pounding a five per cent increase
annually for ten years, would leave
figure of 12,S02,423 vehicles. but
as previously pointed out there
must be an average daily crossing
of $1,000 to achieve that goal.
The bridge management and
statisticians believe it is a pipe
dream to expect that kind of vol
ume within the next ten years.
From all the computations we
can make here at the bridge, we
believe that this span will not
have outlived it's usefulness in the
next 25 years at least Although |
we are in the JET and atomic age.
terrific strides will have to be
made in this area to achieve Co.
600 daily crossings" officials said |
Should there be a FIVE per cent |
increase annually for the next ten !
years. the yearly crossing figures
would assume this pattern:
