FLAT RATE FOR
USE OF BRIDGE
The formal contract signed
AVedncaday afternoon arranging
for free passage of the Pasquo
tank River bridge provides that
the State shall pay the Ferry
Company $1500 for the two
months' use of the bridge. This
is lew than the regular tolls
amount to for months of heavy
traffic such as October and No
vember, and far less than they
would have amounted to had
the Ferry Company collected
from the State on the basis first
outlined by Commissioner Hart.
Although the arrangement
with the Ferry Company was
that the bridge keeper should
collect regular tolls for night
traffic, the company has today
decided to give the people free
ferriage both night and day.
