Some time ago the Lancaster Automobile Club asked to
* have the toll on the river bridge at Columbia reduced. Now
the White Rose Motor Club, of York, has made a similar re-
quest, emphasizing the fact that commuters should at least
£39
be granted special privileges.
In our opinion it would not be more than fair to permit
commuters or others in this section who use the bridge fre-
quently, a lower rate.
We'll admit the bonds would not be paid off quite as soon
as by the present method, but a readjustment of the rates
would equalize the financial burden on motorists.
In some of the adjoining states where bridges are numer-
ous, the motorist who crosses those bridges once or so in
months, pays a much higher rate. Community residents buy
strip tickets at greatly reduced rates so why not here?
We all take air, light and water for granted. The better
they are, the less we think about them or appreciate them. It
is only when the supply of these necessities is poor and in-
ferior that we kick.
The same situation exists in connection with the essential
part played by the railroads, both locally and nationally, in
mobilizing and making effective relief efforts in connection
with the Ohio and Mississippi valley floods. We just take
railroad service for granted, and the better the railroads do
their job, the less we say about them.
The railroads on both sides of the Ohio river have operated
their trains just as close to the flood lines as a train could be
taken; have set up emergency terminal facilities wherever
possible; have maintained local shuttle service, at heavy ex-
pense, in those cases where through service was cut off’; have
brought in the great bulk of all the supplies of food, fuel and
equipment which have gone into the flood-stricken area; have
taken out great numbers of refugees; and, in general, made
possible the work of relief and rescue.
Without the public even knowing about it, the railroads
mobilized car supplies to take care of not only the people, the
livestock and the relief needs of threatened areas, but also
the commerce. Coal mines have been kept in operation by
reason of the ability of the railroads to divert and marshal
coal cars wherever needed. Thousands of extra box cars were
miobilized with the idea that if evacuation of the lower Mis-
sissippi valley should become necessary on any large scale,
the car supply would be available to bring out not only the
people and livestock, but their cotton, manufactured goods,
stocks in trade, and the materials necessary to enable them
to resume business when the waters receded. All of this was
done quietly and without fuss, as part of the organized ser-

cost to relief authorities or to refugees.
Railroads in the flood emergency, as in their everyday ser-
vice, are pretty much taken for granted in the United States.
When a railroad took into Louisville in one night 35 carloads
of coal and trainloads of food and other supplies, that wasn’t
news. That's what the railroads were supposed to do. When
an airplane unloaded a crate of bread at the airport one
would think that the miracle of the loaves and the fishes was
about to be repeated.
After all, taking the railroads for granted, like light, air and
water, is probably the highest tribute to them, but, neverthe-
less, they are organizations run by human beings to whom a
word of gratitude and appreciation is not amiss when it is so
justly deserved. Just being taken for granted becomes rather
stale for the best of us.

The project, which is expected to
cost slightly more than $200,000
will be completed with federal aid.
Another Project Underway
Another improvement project on
the highway is now underway. This
will eliminate the bridge over the
railroad at Salunga as well as a
number of dangerous curves.
The new project has been long
sought by users of the highway be-
cause of the dangerous condition
which exists at the underpasses, all
of which are approached by right
angle turns.
When the modernization projects
are completed traffic from south-
eastern Pennsylvania to the state's
capital may be speeded up over
safe highways.
