The Village Shop has announce
ed the opening Of their new and
spacious showroom at their head
quarters at 321 Mulberry Street
in LeweS.
The report is to include bring
ing up to date a 1857 engineering
and cost report made by the firm
of Parsons, Brinckerhoff, Quade
and Douglas and the updating of
a 1858 traffic and earnings re-
port by Wilbur Smith Associates.
The 1858 traffic earnings re-
port made by the Smith Com
pany, showed that even If the
average passenger car toll we're
$500 and the tolls on certain
types of trucks ranged up to
$25. 90, the ferry still would not
be a profitable undertaking and
would have to be subsidized.
Since tolls of that magnitude
are not believed collectible and
since no one wanted to subsid-
ize the ferry project, the plan
was abandoned. However, sew
eral factors have changed DUR
ing the last five years.
The Smith report was based
on estimates calling for new
ferries to get the project under
way. The completion Of the bridge
tunnel between Norfolk and Cape
Charles, Va, early next year
will free the ferries now used
on the Chesapeake Bay and make
them available at secondhand
prices.
Another factor making the fer
ry project more favorable now
has the same source, the bridge
tunnel crossing the Chesapeake at
the lower end of the Delmarva
Peninsula. Because of it, a heavy
traffic increase is expected on
the Eastern Shore and much adj
dttional traffic might use Lewes
Cape May ferry, the most direct
route to New York, rather than
travel through northern Della
ware and central New Jersey. In
creased traffic would mean
greater revenue at lower fares
and strongly improve prospects
for profits from the ferry line.
