Memorial Bridge
Debt Is Reduced

The bonded Indebtedness on Del
aware Memorial Bridge has been
reduced by 40 per cent with the re-
tirement of 2,269 bonds valued at
81 900 each during the month of
April, according to Frank J. Hor-
ty, General Manager.
In his April report to the Inter-
state Highway Division, Mr.. Horty
says that a total of $1S,S70,00 has
now been paid to bond holders
since the opening of the span in
August, 1851. The total indebted
ness of the bridge amounted to
SAG, $4,000.
When Equitable-SecuTity Trust
Company as trustees retired the
2,269 bonds last month, it repre-
sented 40.5 per cent of the total in
debtedness paid, leaving a balance
Indebtedness of $27, $4,000. Mr..
Horty reported that $5,976,OOO had
been returned to bondhoiders dur
ing the past eleven months, and
$11 ,212,000 was paid off under the
present Interstate Highway System
which was created in July, 1855.
Mr.. Horty also pointed out that
should traffic remain normal dur
ing May, a new record will have
been established for annual span
crossings. From June l, 1866,
through April 80, there were g.
1887 crossings gain of 81
per cent over the same period a
year earlier. This, he said, came
about despite an overall two per
cent decrease in traffic during
April, 1857. 1t was the third time
that monthly report did not ex-
ceed the previous years record
since the bridge was opened to traf-
fic.
Total crossings in April, 1857,
were 726,652 as compared to 727,-
S32 year earlier. Mr.. Horty noted
that passenger cars decreased g.
822 during that period while trucks
increased 740 and there was also a
rise in nOn-revenue vehicle cross
ings. The daily average was 24,222
as compared to 24,261 in April,
1856.
However, Mr.. Horty reported
that the increase in truck traffic
brought about a slight increase in
,667 as compared to
$617 1880 in April, 1856, and he
reported that revenue for the elev-
en- months period of the current
fiscal year was up by 1880, ,6O9.4O
Total figures for the period were:
1957-$6,953, 3,926.80; 1956-$6,6
317.4O.
1t was also announced that Fran
els A. Riley, James H. Case and
Louis A. Ferrier, toll collectors,
had tied for first place with perfect
records in collection work and
were awarded $500 U. S. Savings
Bonds Howard G. Wilson was
awarded second prize and Emory
POstles received third prize.
