A campaign Is now being waged to combine motorists In Pennsylvania in a petition to the Legislature of that state for an appropriation suf ficient to co-operate with tho State of New Jersey in the purchase of all toll bridges over the Delaware river. New Jersey has already made an appropriation, not to exceed $500, 000, for the purchase of its share of these bridges, and It is now neces sary to get a similar appropriation from Pennsylvania to make the. plan effective. Pressure will be brought to bear at the next session of the Pennsylvania Legislature to pass the appropriation bill. This move will lit in nicely with the plan of New Jersey to complete next year a fine new highway along the banks of tho Delaware, from Trenton to the Delaware Water Gap and from there to Port Jervis, on the Jersey-New York state line, thus providing a magnificent boulevard 112 miles long through the pict uresque Delaware Valley. Tho present Inferior road up the historic valley runs from Trenton to Stockton, N. J., along tho Jersey bank, but there the tourist has to cross to Pennsylvania to reach Eas ton. From Easton to the Gap there are roads on both sides of the river, but if any crossing ls done tho tour ist llnda himself paying money to toll bridges.
