Delaware Memorial Bridge
Twelve Years Old TODAY

Just twelve years ago on Aug
ust Is, 1851, dedication exer-
cises were held and traffic be-
gan to stream over the new
Delaware Memorial Bridge -
the first link between the First
State and the State of New Jer-
sey.
Now dozen years later -
with a volume of more than
l08,00O, 900 vehicles recorded
- new bi-state commission
known as the Delaware River
and Bay Authority is contem-
plating the erection of a second
span parallel to the present
structure.
The need for such action is
dramatically shown In a study
of traffic figures for the decade
in which the bridge has served
as a crossroads of eastern ira
vel for both tourists and COM
mercial traffic.
There has been an average
increase of 467, sos vehicles
each year since the span star
ted operation and total traffic
has been far ahead of consul
ting engineers estimates made
prior to its construction.
There is ample reason for
this differential bridge officials
point out. The only criteria
with which engineers couldwork
was the traffic pattern estab-
nshed by the old New Castle
Pennsville ferry. In its biggest
year the ferry carried slightly
in excess of three million We
hicles.
The New Jersey Turnpike,
which has been the principal
feeder line to the bridge hadnot
gone into the planning stage at
the time Delaware legislators
approved plans for a connec-
don between the two states in
l945. In fact the Turnpike was
dedicated about year after the
Bridge formally opened to traf-
fic.
A study of annual traffic fig
ures reveals there was just one
year when crossings decreased.
This was during fiscal l957-58.
1t was in January and Febru-
airy. 1883 that the east coast
had one of its most severe

have been a serious blaze in

day night.
Gene Bryson, son of MIR. and

of his grandfather, William E.
Matthews, Jr. TWO long blocks
from downtown.
About 8:25 pm. Gene said
to his father: ''Daddy, | see

Clothing Store. ~ His father
walked down Commerce Street
and found the smoke was COM,
ing from the second floor of

He hurried to turn in the

gerous potential.
Firemen donned masks af-
ter breaking out a window to
gain entrance to the apart

less than a week, and found
a smouldering mattress which
they threw out of the window
into the alley; box springs we're
also damaged and we're thrown

The apartment is over The
Ivy Shop, and was occupied
by Mrs. Violet Fleetwood, who
came home later to find the
place not habitable. In an in
