Kgrnsb-jrg, July 30 — Dujty archives of the Department of Hiyh-A'ay., tell an interesting stor)- of the risf of toll roads in Penn¬ sylvania—to a total of approx¬ imatelv 2.500 miles in 1830: and developments of the next 100 year^ •.vhich brought abijut the elimina¬ tion of the last of tiiese prlvately- T.^ned roadj in the State only six lears ago.
Pausing in the mid.st of Pennsyl- '.ania's present day highway pro- .^ram—a program whi-^h include-, \n $11,000,000 Federal Orade Cross- .lig Elimination schedule: a fi-^Vi.- 000 Work,- Program Highw-ay setup: i:id extensive WPA work—Warren VanDyke. Secretary of Highways today reviewed these humble be- ainning.s of the States present 38,- 000-mile  highw-ay system
Toll roads—usually called turn¬ pikes because of the piked barriers which   restricted    travel    on    pti-
/ite'jr-Awned toll roads in the ir.!t and IMh centuries—came into ex¬ istence In the Stace, the Secretsry P'jtnu out, shortly after the cliMe of the Revolutionary War.
They were built by private com¬ panies and attracted much atten¬ tion because of the great need for roads in the new Nation. Records show that when the flrst compsny —which built the Philadelphia and Lancaster Turnpike—was formed in 1792 stock was oversubscribed soon after the books were opA^ed
So great was the turnpike boom that by 1830 more than 2500 miles of toll roads were in operation in the State.
Some of the companies prospered bu: in other cases stockholders with visions of sudden wealth were despite   their  simple    construction.

Besides, catching more than a hundred chickens in tlie dark is no easy work for anyone and stealing them makes it still harder. Whether two or more thieves played part in this whols- sale chicken biuiness, we still think the best remedy Is a good oil double-barrel. loaded with plentv of burning shot and directed square- ly at the seat of the pants—ani enough nerve to pull both barre'• at once. There ia as much founda¬ tion for this action as there is Vi. any other—you have no business in another man's chicken coop wit;>- out his permission—That s the war they do it In Lehigh County.

FARMERS CASH INCOME  SHOWS MARKED INCREASE
Cash income of farmers for the first six months of 1936 aggregated S3291.000.000. an Increase of 1333- 000.000 over the same period in 1935 when cash income totaled 12,956.- 000.000. according to estimates an- no-unced today by the Bureau of Agricultural Economics
The total for the flrst six months this year included tni.000.000 in AAA payments compared with |28S.- 000.000 in similar payment-s In the same period last year. The total cash income of farmers in June. including rental and beneflt pay¬ ments   was   1639,000.000   compared
last week chicken  with 15*5.000.000 in May  1936 and
•468.000.000  in   June   1935
Cash Income of farmen during June from sale of farm products was estimated at t582.000,000. This figure represenU an increase Of 1144.000.000 over the same month last year and compares with I336.- 000.000 received in May. 1936
Rental and benefit payments paid ou' in June on contracts entered into in 1935 and June cotton price adjustment payments amounted to Ii7,000.000. compared with the to¬ tal of Government payments in Mav of $59,000,000. and in June 1335   of $30,000,000
The increase in cash farm from May to June was due to the more •!ian -ea.sonal increase in tiie mirk- ¦•tings of wlieat and corn, the sharp advance in potato prices, an.j unu— ually heavy marketlng,s of cattle, and to the seasonal increase tn income from hogs, butter, and wool A noticeable advance in h.>g price- dunag June, despite the larger sap- p.ies of all kinds of Uves'ock. re¬ flected an Improvement in con¬ sumer demand for meats There wa = no noticeable forced movement of livestock in June from the drought >rea although In the flrst twi weeks of July receipts of cattle at the principal markets were running 39 :)er cent and of hogs ,i" p?r cent higher than in the same week- a .vear ago.

I doomed to disappointment slne^ I initial costs of the roads were til^ I and revenue failed to reach the ea¬ peeted lieak The advance of rail- I roads tO'j played sn importanl part in the decline of turnpikes.
Thus, soon aftei organisatioa, many of the companies gave up their venture, and each lucoteding year saw more turnpike mileefe abandoned In most cases thlf mileage reverted to local authori¬ ties.
In 1911 when a Toll Road Com¬ mission wa-t created by the Legis¬ lature to study tl-as problem, only 723 mile.s of such roads were found in operation in the State; and lOS companies wt'.h a capital stock at $3,199,535, were ILsted.
Later in the same year when ths Sproul Act established the AUtB Highway System, 531 miles ef these toU roads were tncludsd. TlUa mileait was purcheeed ever \h^ y$H le years, and the cost was shereJ equally in most eases by the State snd counties in whicb the roeds were located
The flrst toll roed purclvaatd bp tht Department was tht lS.C-BiUe Chambersburg and Btdtord Turn¬ pike, bought AprU S, 1*14 at a eoet of 117.121 IS Porty-flve mUes at toll roed were purchastd that year.
Purchases were made each year thtrtafter. except ltSa-33-M-»-lt- as. The greatest mileage vas ae- quired in Ult when the tetal reached 144 mUes.
The flnal aequlsition was July 3. 1930—only sU years with purcheses et the Laneeater and New HoUand Turnpike, MS miles of toll road between Laneat- ter and Meehanicsburg. Lancaater eounty. The purchasing price vm 139,000
Thi« transaction concluded the work of freeing Pennsylvania of tell roads and represented the •equisl- tion of more than 550 mUes of sueh roads. As its share of this far- reaching program, the State paid $1,395,347. Approximately the same sum was spent by counties, al¬ though in rare cases interested eitiaens purchased toU roads and turned   them  over  to ttw  State.
This elimination of toll roada, by purchase of about 550 milta, meant that bttween MU. srfien TIS mUes of toU roads were reported in the State: and 1*30, the date at the flnal purchase, about 300 mllee had been abandoned by turnpike companies.
This mileage, plus about 400 miles abandoned before ISU. were turned over to the State, too, under the Abandoned TumpUse Aet of ItU.
While all toU roads have be ft tUmlnated In Pennsylvania tltat* are aome toll brldffet remelnlnc. However, the ptoplt of the BUIe have approved a S10.000jOSS beii4 lasue to purchase these brldfes aaB make them ultimately free tyaaa. Tht Btate has started proeeedlnft to purchaae tvo of thest bridflts. •     •
