Gov. McKeldin asked the Public
Service Commission yesterday
to delay decision for 80 days on
a request by a private corpo-
ration to build bridge over

Last Lot on Island Sold
The subject of a private toll
bridge to the island first came UP
three years ago after Leon Acker-
man. Washington real estate
developer, started selling lots on
the barren island.
The Assateague Island Bridge
Corp, composed Of many Of the
lot owners, asked the PSC for
permission to build.
In the meantime, Delegate
Robinson. Democrat Of Balti-
more, urged State officials to
consider an old recommendation
that a public park be created on
the island. He suggested in this
case it was worthwhile consider
ing State rather than private
construction Of the bridge.
Deal With State Proposed
The private corporation at a
hearing on its application last
week offered the State $40 Of the
acres which 1t had bought from
1T in 1851 If 1t is authorized to
build the bridge.
However. Gov. McKeldin said
the State now is anxious to get
