Sussex Ferry Group
Plans For Dinner
(Continued from first page)

I
1t is estimated that the Cane
May-Lewes ferry should attract at
least half of this traffic, or approx
mately $4,000 vehicles in its first
year of operation.
This represents toll revenue from
vehicles alone in almost sufficient
amount to cover operating costs of
the Lewes-Cape May Ferry as in
cluded in the recent survey by Par
sons, Brinkerhoff, Hall and Nc
Donald, according to Senator
Charles Sandman.
Sandman said eff one half of the
vehicles were to stop overnight in
Delaware at a most conservative
SO per vehicle spent for food,
lodging and services, the additional
revenue received by Delaware busi
ness would amount to over a mill
lion and a half dollars.
Most interesting to note is that
this is conservative estimate
based on existing traffic and does
not take into consideration future
increases due to the New York
thruway connection and parkway,
Ocean Highway and ferry route
promotion"
