Tolls
Speed Payoff Of
Bridge Bonds
Retirement Time
Muy Be Cut in Half
On $3.50 Million Issue

BALTIMORE, Mar. 26 R.-
Maryland's three toll bridges are
taking in money at such a fast
clip the State may be able to
get rid of a $180-million bond
issue in half the time 1t expected
Oflcials say the huge bridge
and tunnel bond issue may be
wiped of the slate in 18 years
instead of the 40 originally ex-
pected.
That's the good word from
Louis j. O'Donnell, director OF
the State Road Commissions toll
facilities, and Carl L. Wannen
roads commission controller.
Bay Bridge Leads
Motorists and truckers have
contributed more than $43 mil
ion in tolls since 1910. The chief
money earning span is the huge
Chesapeake Bay bridge, which
went into operation in mid-1952
The other two places where
the State collects tolls are the
Susquehanna River bridge in
Northeast Maryland and the
Potomac River bridge in the
southern part Of the State.
Another toll-collecting project
is under way. 1t is the Baltimore
Harbor tunnel, expected to be
completed in late 1857. BY that
time, officials estimate, the State
will be taking in some 50 million
a year from these four revenue
sources.
OF the $3.50 million bond issue,
$130 million has been designated
for the harbor work. Earlier, $34
million was allotted to financing
the Bay bridge, which cost q
total of $44 million.
Revenue Gains
The accelerated rate Of road
travel these days shows up
vividly when comparing recent
figures with those of 1910. That
was the year when remodeling
/ of the Susquehanna Bridge was
completed. That year 1896, ,333
vehicles passed over it at a rate
of 20 cents.
By last September the average
had jumped to S.706,35s. and
the years revenue to the State
was $1,7lS,186. Altogether, more
than 10 million vehicles have
passed over the Susquehanns
span and have produced $15.s
million in tolls.
In the same 15-year period
the Potomac River structure has
carried more than 1876 millior
cars and trucks and earned al.
most $14 million. Meanwhile
the Bay Bridge in less than foul
years has produced nearly that
amount of revenue with its much
higher toll charges and heavier
traffic.
To date. the Bay Bridge has
transported 7.390.954 cars and
trucks across its seven-mile
overall length.

with the problem. This is OBJ
viously one of the factors that
caused him to delay indignation

II think he specifically recog-

regulations and plans formulated
by the General Assembly. pro-
vided they did not include as
signment on the basis of race"
ANY such assignment plan
would take precedence over the

OtLlCI 4NOI IllSl IL VII BlIlld Cplll-
lmunities soon will get requests
to end racial segregation in
their schools in keeping with
the Arlington County desegrega-
ton decree.
Edwin c. Brown, Alexandria
counsel for the National Asso-
citation for the Advancement of
Colored People, said he planned
to write the school boards of
Alexandria, Fairfax, Loudoun,
Front Royal and other commu-
mites in the Northern Virginia
area asking what plans they are
making to desegregate.
II shouldn't think we would
have to file any more suits in
this area" said Mr.. Brown in
commenting on the decree
handed down yesterday by Fed
eral Judge Albert v. Bryan in
Alexandria. Conditions in other
sections of Northern Virginia are
similar to Arlington, and the Ar
lington decision clearly points
the way to what must be done y
Sees Major Victory
He hailed the decision as a
major victory for the NAACP
1t directs Arlington to stop as
signing pupils to schools on the
basis of race by next January
in elementary classes, and by
September, 1857. in junior and
senior high schools. But it
leaves the way open to assign
students to schools for other rea-
sons.
Mr.. Brown said he did not dis.
agree with this feature of the
decision.
The opposite viewpoint was ex-
pressed by Jack Rathbone of the
Arlington Chapter, Defenders of
State Sovereignty and Individual
Liberties. He said:
Apparently Judge Bryan is at
tempting to justify his segrega-
ton Injunction against the Ar
lington school system through
the fact that the present Negro
white student ratio is low.
$4,000 Negroes to $4,000 whites.)
And the extreme interest he
evidenced in the statement that
only so Negroe pupils now live in
areas served by white schools
might have lulled him into the
belief that our indignation prob
lem was not great.
Sees Negro Influx
But he failed to cast his eye
to the east bank of the Potomac
where on any clear day he could
see the vast horde of Negro fam
lilies eagerly awaiting the nulli-
If1cation of our State segregation
laws. And if Virginians should
Ispinelessly comply with Judge
Bryan's edict we would need
more than a new Roosevelt Is
land bridge to handle the influx
of Negroes that would converge
upon Arlington to aff1x them
selves on our relief rolls where
they could enjoy Arlington S
'goodh schools.
I'VE have complacently stood
by. But the Federal courts and
the NAACP are in for a rude
awakening if they think white
Virginia parents will permit our
schools to be operated in ac-
Icordance with their spurious
racial edictS.
while the Arlington School
Board and the school executives
are supping at the Virginia tax
payers trough. We expect their
complete allegiance to the con-
stitution and laws of our Com
monwealth."
