Washington motorists may soon
be able to drive to South Jersey
resorts without taking the long
roundabout route thru Baltimore
and Havre de Grace.
Regular ocean ferry service be-
tween Cape May, N. J., and LeWes,
Del, was forecast here for 1855 by
Orrie DeNOOryer, chairman of the
New Jersey Highway Authority.
The ferry would link the Eastern
Shore highway systems of Maryland
and Delaware to the new New
Jersey Garden State Parkway which
parallels the New Jersey coast.
The Parkway will be linked at
MOntvale, N. j., to the New York
State Thruway.
The New Jersey coastal route is
to be open for 1855 miles, from Cape
May Point to Paramus, by mid
summer
In the Parkway portion now open
there wasn't a single traffic fatality
in the last five months of 1854.
Mr.. DeNooryer said three private
concerns had submitted bids for
building and operating the pro-
posed ferry to Lewes, Del He
anticipated an agreement with one
of them within three months.
i Since the ferry's run would be
for 16 miles, much of it across un-
| protected waters at the Bay mouth,
locean-type vessels would be needed.
Mr. DenOOryer compared require
ments with those of the ferry run
! across the Chesapeake Bay mouth
from Cape Charles, Va, to Norfolk.
