Maryland Tolls
Speed Payoff Of
Bridge Bonds

BALTIMORE, Mar. Is tR.-
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 it expected
Officials 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.
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 1852.
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,
$3.50 million has been designated
for the harbor work. Earlier, $34
million was allotted to financing
the Bay bridge. which cost a
total of $44 million.
