PACE TWOâ€" BACK TO TOLL BRIDGEST | tobe & Mail) ~ The arnouncement that the Ontario government has relinquished any claim to federal aid in the conâ€" struction of the $15,500,000 Burlington Skyway and will turn it into a toll bridge â€"comes as a surprize. Toll roads and bridges were given up by the proâ€" vince many years ago and many people will be sorry to see a return to the old system of charging for the use of a public bridge qml{lt"_ e * Before Ontario‘s decision to build the Burlingâ€"|‘ tomn bridge alone and charge tolls, Ottawa had ofâ€" : fered to pay oneâ€"third of the cost on the grounds |, that the bridge was to span the Burlington canal,|, which was built by the federal government. q The new bridge, which may be the largest and | : costliest in Canada, was intended to end the serious || bottleneck on the main hbighway that links Buffalo, | Fort Erie and Niagara Falls with Torunto and the | tourist area of Northern Ontario. At present the i heavy volume of traffic on the fourâ€"lane Queen Elizaâ€" beth Way has to funnel into a oneâ€"lane 30 mph road across the narrow and busy Burlington isthmus. But will a toll bridge really do away with this bottleâ€" neck? When the same, or an even heavier, flow of traffic has to be stopped to extract tolls from the motorists going both ways, it may be that traffic will move even more slowly than at present. The Queen Elizabeth Way is now one of the principal routes for tourists entering Canada. These visitors spend millions of dollars in Ontario every year. It is doubtful that they will be attracted in greater numbers by toll roads and bridges. Country Editor by J.
