patroling by the recently augment
ed bridge police force.
Money collected during 1961-62
in ratio to the number of crossings
almost balanced out. A total OF
$4, 4,410,01S.35 was received in rev.
enue as compared to s4,0S1, ,09275
in 1960-61, or a rise of $40. This
was accomplished despite an in
crease in the sale of reduced price
tickets. The jump in truck busi-
ness brought the ratio into almost
perfect balance.
During the year the Interstate
Highway Division authorized the
retirement of $2,470,00000 in
bonds, leaving an outstanding in
debtedness of $11,855, 100000. Total
amount retired to date stands at
$50, ,745, 100000 During the eleven
year period the operators of the
span were authorized to sell a
total of $4S,6OO,000 worth of bonds.
The original indentures called
for bond retirement over a thirty
year period. However, the con-
tinually increasing traffic h a S
made it possible to pay seventy
five percent of the debt in just a
little more than a third of the
allotted time, Mr.. Horty pointed
out.

Vehicles Hove Gone
Over Memorial Bridge
Since 1t Was Opened

When Delaware Mem oria |
Bridge closed its books on May 81
ending the eleventh year of opera
ton, a total of 94,292,6 ,602 vehicles
had crossed the span since its
opening on August 16. 1861.
In a report submitted to t h e
Delaware State Highway Division
this week, Frank J. Horty, general
manager also pointed out that fis-
cal 1961-62 had produced a record
volume of 1851, ,912 crossings.
This topped the previous year by
916,386 vehicles, a gain of $50.
Another record was set between
June 1, 1861 and May 81, 1862.
Traffic exceeded the million mark
during five of the twelve months
for the first time. In 1960-61 there
were three such months = June,
July and August These repeated
last year and September, 1861 and
April 1862 also brought more than
"a million vehicles.
Mr.. Horty predicted that next
year the month of May will also
crack the million mark since it
came very close last month. Dur
ing May there were 945,783 cross
ings as compared to 889,771 a year
earlier The 56,012 increase repre-
sented a gain of $50. Of the total
increase, 42,149 were passenger
cars; 1912. trucks and nom
revenue vehicles gained by 3,671.
