BRIDGE SHOWS
BIG INCREASE
Averages Indicate Memorial
Bridge Traffic Will Exceed
100000 By May
6.S INCREASE TO DATE

Registering a healthy Ill per
cent traffic increase during the
month of November, Delaware
Memorial Bridge completed the
first half of its fiscal year well
ahead of the 1954-55 first six
months, it was announced this
week.
In the report of operations for
the past month just released by
Acting Manager Charles H. Sal
mon and approved by Garrett E.
Lyons, director of the new Inter-
state Highway Division, figures
point to a record year at the
span. 1t will complete five years
of public service on August Is,
1856.
The fiscal year, however, dates
from June first to May 80 of each
year and it is on that basis that
the percentage averages are COM
puted.
During the full fiscal year 1854
55 a total of 7,865,772 vehicles
crossed over the bridge" in both
directions. During the first six
months of that year there were
4,368,173 counted. From June 1,
1855, to November 80 a total of
4,669,247 vehicles has been re-
corded or an increase of 6.8 per
cent for the period. The 1954-55
full fiscal year showed a gain of
five per cent.
In other words, only 3,196,433
vehicles need to use the span in
the next six months to equal last
years record, while during the
last half of the past fiscal year
there were 3,496, 500 crossings. On
this basis bridge traffic will ex-
coed 100000 vehicles by May

one category during the month.
A total of $50 5-axle vehicles
were registered as compared to
$50 the previous year.
Gross revenue for November
totaled s554,e74.31 as compared to
S504,14s.68 last year, while the
first six months of 1855 brought
in $3,977,141.S4. The figure was
S3,756,593.51 from June to Nov
ember, 1854. Total operating costs
for November were S42,20912.

Compromise on
Road Finances
BY the Associated Press

Republicans promised a strong
effort in the House Public Works
Committee today to compromise
rival proposals for financing a
mammoth new road building
program.
The committee yesterday ap-
proved the construction program
itself. calling for about $37 bill
lion in Federal funds and $40
billion from the States over the
next IL years.
But it defeated, 1914. Presi-
dent Eisenhower's proposal to
finance the road building ex-
Ipansion largely through bonds
that would be issued by a spe-
cial Government corporation.
The committee takes up today
a substitute Democratic plan to
pay for the new roads by imme-
Idiate increases in taxes on gaso-
line trucks and buses, heavy
tires and tubes, and diesel fuel.
AS approved by subcommit-
tee, these increases would raise
about $3.50 million a year. Some
Republicans and Democrats
have protested the increases are
too steep. especially on truck
ers. and drives were under way
to reduce them.
Representative Mack, Repub-
lican of Washington. said Re-
Ipublcans would make strong
effort to cut in half the pro-
posed tax increases and raise
the rest of the money through
a bond plan along the lines ad-
vocated by Mr.. Eisenhower.
Some Democrats talked of
scaling down the taxes proposed
by the subcommittee. Some
said other new taxes would be
suggested instead.
The tax increases originally
approved by the subcommittee: !:
Gasoline. from 2 to 3 cents gall
lon; trucks and buses, from 8 to
10 per cent; diesel fuel. used by
trucks and buses, 2 to 6 cents a
gallon: heavy tires. S to Is cents
a pound: heavy tubes, 9 to Is
cents a pound; camelback for
heavy tire retreads. from no tax
now to 712' cents a pound.
The big increase in the IL
year construction program would
be 1865 billion to complete 40.-
900 miles of broad interstate
highways. The Federal share
would be about $24 billion.
Lesser amounts would be spent
for primary. secondary and
urban roads on a $3.50 matching
basis.

lowance of Federal employees to
$12 and raising the 7-cent au-
tomobile mileage allowance to 10
cents. President Eisenhower will
sign the bill in a day or two.
EXECUTIVE PAY-President
Eisenhower today is expected to
send to Congress his legislative
proposal for raising the pay of
the Governments top officials
and to raise the $14,800 CLASH
fed employe pay ceiling to ST.
500 or $4,000 a year. The
administration has waited so
long to send up it's plan that it's
touch -and-go as to whether the
executive pay raise will be ap-
proved by Congress this year.
AS for lifting the present $14,S00
classified pay ceiling. that def
nitely appears out of the ques-
ton this year.

ever. the average retired em-
.ploye pension is only about
$1,000 a year, and a rs
per cent increase would provide
less than $100 a year more for
