“TWO TOLL ROADS
EXPECTED TO MAKE LANCAS.
TER AND ELIZABETHTOWN
TURNPIKE FREE WITH-
IN THE NEXT WEEK
The announcement was made from
the State Highway Department
Thursday that the department would
before the close of the week take
over two York county turnpikes, one
between Wrightsville and York, and
the other between York and Gettys-
burg, a total of twenty-six miles.
The department also expects to pur-
chase the Manheim and Lancaster
turnpike of nine and a half miles,
making the third turnpike in this
county acquired by the state, the
other two being the Lancaster and
Elizabethtown, 2nd the Lancaster
and Williamstown turnpikes.
The acquiring of the two York
county turnpikes and the Lancaster
and Williamstown pike gives free
highway from Philadelphia to Gettys-
burg, except a stretch for about
twelve miles between Lancaster and
Columbia. This road is known as the
Lancaster and Columbia turnpike,
and owing to a dispute between the
Conestoga Traction Company and the
stockholders of the road company
who cannot agree upon the division
of the purchase money, condemna-
tion proceedings wil be started.
The Board of County Commission-
ers have not been notified of the ac-
tion the State Highway Depart-
ment, but the Commissioners
nounced that upon the receipt of a
notice they will take the necessary
action to free the Lancaster pikes in
question.
