Appeals State Aid Canal Span COURT HOUSE—A request for , le SUte Highway Department to aasnme control and maintenance of part of the Old Seashore Boad was filed with Spencer Miller, Jr., state highway commissioner, by Percy H. Jackson, director of the Cape May County Board of Freeholders, Otis week. The state highway department recently declined to accept responsibility for maintaining the road. letter to Commissioner Miller, Director Jackson said: “The situation concerning the bridge o»er the Cape May County Canal on the Old Seashore Boad, which is known on your maps as Route S4-C, again comes to our attention because the Army expects the bridge orer this canal soon to be in operation and will ask the county to provide for the operation. “I am writing you somewhat in detail about this because Cape May County in its present ftnan- . dal condition cannot assume any 'ferther financial responsibility, and inasmuch as this road now becomes almost a military necessity, we believe it is up to the War Department to take over the operation of this road and bridge- However, knowing that the War Department does not do ibis, then the only alternative is for the state to take over the iway, which has already been dated as s part of the state (way system, and thus ini the continued operation of this highway in this part of our county, which has been ao much taken over by military establishments. % "Furthermore,” Jackson continued, “in view of the fact that the Bayshore Road is dosed off entirely from through north and south traffic because of the canal, I believe it makes it almost imperative that the state take this route 84-C into the state highr system. Due to the curtailit of new contracts and work programs generally, there must be sufficient surplus funds which could be used without any great hardship to the department at this time. With the exception of the bridge over the canal, over which we have no control, the nance required on the Sea Road would be minimum sad is in excellent condition, having been rebuilt by the county only a few years ago and has suffered no heavy traffic until the past two yea^ since the Army and Navy services have moved into this section. Even so, the road has not as yet suffered any damage despite the heavier-

believe it is in- — rrr , . - the state at this time to take over this highway relieve Cape May County of costs of maintenance of the highway and bridge. It is particularly necessary that the state taka over at least that portion of the highway which crosses the eanal at this time, if the bridge is to be operated. “I do not know how I place this matter before you more MBphatically than I have, and I trust that 1 have impressed you with the seriousness of the situation. Cape May County cannot at this time provide for the •permtion and maintenance of this bridge over the Cape May County Canal on the Old Seashore Road," Jackson concluded.

TRAINS TO PHILADELPHIA Over the " fourth 1 ' WILL BE CROWDED

In normal times the Pennsylvania-Readmg Seashore Lines prepared for heavy holiday travel by having adequate equipment ready to meet extraordinary travel demands.

But today the bulk of this

could ordinarily be requisitioned for heavy holiday travel is nor available. In fact, less even than last year. For today more than one-third of all the coaches in the country are constantly at the service of the Armed

Forces for heavy troop movements.

This has made necessary the diversion of such equipment as is still available from the "Bridge Roue" to the 10-mAe shorter seashore route between Southern New Jersey Resorts and Camden on Saturdays. Sundays \and Holidays to September 6. Only in this way will we be able to accommodate the able cars on the days of heaviest travel. For

can and locomotives can perform A THIRD MORE SERVICE because the run is nearly a half-hour quicker in each direction. We will try to accommodate those who decide ta spend die "Fourth” at the shore. But there may not be seats for everybody. And if the weather should be exceptionally warm, the possibility exists that, even with standing room, some trains may not be able co accommodate all who would like to use them. Travel will be extremely heavy on July 4 and 5, so by returning on Tuesday or later you will avoid crowds which are likely to be greatest on Sunday and Monday evenings. These facts are stated frankly, to point out that, under today's conditions, it is not possible to do all we would like to do to assure your complete comfort. We shall, however, do our best and on that basis, we ask your cooperation and patience.
