The New Jersey Turn pike, a 118-mile toll road, aver aged $2,160,000 per mile cost. On the Pennsylvania Turnpike, the original 160 miles averaged a cost of $450,000 a mile when completed in 1950; an eastern section completed in September 1948, 100 miles in length, aver aged $870,000 a mile in cost; and the western section, completed in December 1951 and totalling 67 miles, averaged a cost of $1,- 045 000 per mile. The information developed 1 from the study of the Iowa . group probably would apply to Nebraska, but it should be kspt in mind that Nebraska traffic volumes would be less and be 1 cause Nebraska Is not so hilly I as Icwa in the west and central i areas a mile of toll road might cost a little less to build. The Iowa group figured that it cost $125,000 a mile to build an ordinary concrete highway; and since an extra lane would be required in a toll road, this cost would be doubled because of the grading and material re quired and the need for pur chasing extra rights-of-way and putting in extra fills. The absolute minimum toll read construction cost only in Iowa was etsimated at $250,000 a mile. But this figure did not include the necessary viaducts or underpasses over or under intersecting roads and the large THE PLATTSMOUTH, NEBRASKA, SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL Thursday, June 12, 1952 Section C PAGE THREE and department from the toll ! nually in tolls necessary before highway, together with toll col- j anything could be applied to the lecting facilities.

The Iowa group felt that no toll road would "be worth its salt'" unless it ran completely across the state, since through traffic is expected by support ers of this sort of road to bring in the main revenue. Applying this situation to Nebraska, a toll read completely across the state would cost, even if Nebraska was able to shave total mini mum costs to $350,000 a mile, a total of $157,500,000. figuring on a basis of 450 miles of highway construction needed. This $157 billion plas would have to be raised by establishing some sort of toll road authority with the power to issue bonds to be retired from revenue of the road. These bonds command a high rate of interest, a mini mum of at least 3 per cent or an annual interest of $4,725,000. In addition, there would be the annual operating cost for salaries of toll gate Keepers and road maintenance. In the case j of the Pennsylvania Turnpike, j this figure was $1,552,600 in 1949 more than meet tne mierei and operating cost. Five thou sond vehicles a day travelling the full 450 miles would bring in $8,212,500 a year at 1 per cent per mile travelled, leaving 81, 837.500 applied on the loan prin ciple. Highway 30 across Nebraska probablv does' not average day in and clay out through the year one-sixth of the 15,000 vehicle figure or 2,500 vehicles (about 1.7 vehicles a minute I which would mean an income of $4. 108.250 a year at 1 cent per mile. This is $2,622,750 short of paying the interest and maintaining the road. MARINE LANDS ON SNAKE MANILA, P. I. Marine SSgt. Gerald D.
