New Jersey Commission Mom
ber Says Span Will Not Bo
Burden to Taxpayers
SPROUL TO CALL MEETING
Tor the' purpose of dispelling the
Illusion that the proposed Delaware
bridge connecting Philadelphia and
Camden would be n buiden to tax
payers, Daniel F. Hcntlrlekson. of
Woodbury, N. J., and n member of the
New Jersey bridge commission, today
called attention to tho fact that the
structure would be n toll bridge.
"Members of the New Jersey com
mission do not blame Mayor Moore,
Governor Sproul and others for being
cautious about the vcntirro," he said,
"but I regret that tho pooplo do not
realize, that tho bridge will bo a toll
bridge and will, therefore, bo self-supporting.
It will be paid for by those
who use it. I also regret that the bridge
was not made a state project In Penn
sylvania, as it was in New Jersey.
Then there would be no necessity for
awaiting n decision by the city of Phila
delphia. To expedite matters from the Penn
sylvania side of the venture, it is prob
able that Governor Sprout will call a
mcetlfag of tho members of tho Penn
sylvania bridge commission during the
tnttcr part of the week.
Commenting on Governor Sprout's
views regarding steps to bo taken to
speed action on the bridge, Mayor Moore
said last night:
"I nm very glad the Governor has
made clear that there Is no controversy
between him and myself concerning the
construction of tho Delaware river
bridge. It is fair that the City Council
should get such Information on tho prob
able cost of the bridge as is in the Gov
ernor's possession beforo tnking further
action. The Governor and the Mayor
are working harmoniously, and plans
for work on the structure will be taken
up ns soon ns possible."
