y, May 2, 1929 at‘s WI Report Toll Bridges Thursday, May 2, 1929 The troublesome and costly toll bridges, which were generally beâ€" lieved to have passed away with toll highways, have recently been found to be increasing rapidly in numbers and a concerted effort to automobile cwners is being made to stop their construction. "The American Automobile Assoâ€" ciation," says Woman‘s Home Comâ€" panion, "has branded the increase of toll bridges as a national disgrace., It has been discovered that 233 of such bridges operating in the United States, and 29 are under construction. Congress has authorized the construcâ€" tion of 122 new bridges and 78 more are projected. Three fourths of the present toll bridges are private venâ€" tures. The public builds the roads, encouraging traffic. But where the road meets a stream somebody puts up a bridge and makes the public pa to get across. In many cases the charges are extortionate. â€" At one. bridge in North Dakota which cost $300,â€"the toll is 50 cents. One in Maryland was called. ‘Gold Mine Bridge‘ because the owners made a million dollars in fifteen years. Anâ€" other overâ€"a similar period, earned every year a gross income equal to three fourths of the original cost. ~"Bridges as well as highways should be ownedâ€"by the public. Conâ€" gress has recognized this principle. Federal funds are provided as an ‘aid. to states on a fiftyâ€"fifty basis. This state can raise its share of the cost of a bridge ‘by a bond issue â€"with anticipated toll earnings as sgcurity. As. soon as these tolls have paid off. the bonds, the bridge is thrown open free to every wayfarer. Those who actually use the bridge pay for half of it and the other half is paid by. the taxpayers of ‘the nation because all benefit by & general ease of transâ€" portation." _ =â€" * * * >=% Glencoe Man to Head Northbrook Schools ; _ * â€"Planning High School â€" Norman E. â€"Watson,â€" assistant suâ€" perintendent of the Glencoe Public schools since 1925, has accepted the superintendency of theâ€" Northbrook schools.
