The proposal which has l>een presented Is that the Commission bvirrow M.000.000. to be divided be¬ tween Penn.sylvania and New Jersey to reimburse them for their Invest¬ ment, and turn all 16 bridges into toll bridges, as they were many years ago.   The eflect of this would
, be that Pennsylvania and New Jer¬ sey   would   receive   I4.0OO 0()0   each, ! and    thereafter   Pennsvlvania    and
' New Jer.sey motorists would be com¬ pelled to pay approximaely $5,000.- 000 in tolls annually for many years to ccmie.
"\*'lien we learned recently of this fantastic proposal, we promptly made our opposition fo the latm pub¬ licly known. We have since been informed by Secretary- of Highwavs Van D>ke. of ^nn<iylvania. that such a program is definitely opp-e^ed bv him. and it remaiiu to be seen whether the Legislatures of »*nn- .sylvanla and New Jer.'sey will give It serious consideration.
