Theodore R. McKeldin, Governor                   1617

Resolved, by the General Assembly of Maryland, That the public
officials of the several departments, bureaus, commissions and
agencies of this State be requested to include the Eastern Orthodox
Church in any references to the major religious faiths in future
proclamations, papers, forms and documents; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be sent to the executive
and administrative officials of the several departments, bureaus,
commissions, and agencies of this State.

Approved March 1, 1957.

No. 8
(Senate Joint Resolution 13)

Senate Joint Resolution directing the State Roads Commission to re-
examine the comparative rates of toll charges for the several toll
facilities.

The members of the General Assembly of Maryland have serious
and basic questions as to the justice and equity of the toll charges for
the several bridge and tunnel facilities now operated or being con-
structed by the State Roads Commission.

There are four of these facilities. Two were constructed in the
late 1930's, being a bridge for U. S. Route 301 across the Potomac
River, southward from Charles County, and a bridge for U. S. Route
40 across the Susquehanna River between Harford and Cecil counties.
The third is the Chesapeake Bay Bridge, which was opened for traffic
in 1951 from Sandy Point to Kent Island. The fourth will be a
tunnel under the Patapsco River in the harbor of Baltimore City,
now scheduled to be completed by late 1957.

The overall length of these several projects, including approaches,
is approximately as follows: Potomac River Bridge, 2 miles; Susque-
hanna River Bridge, 1½ miles, Chesapeake Bay Bridge, 7 miles;
Patapsco River Tunnel, 15 miles.

In terms of cost of construction for the four toll facilities, the
figures are as follows: Susquehanna River Bridge, $4,700,000.;
Potomac River Bridge, $5,600,000.; Chesapeake Bay Bridge, $45,-
300,000.; Patapsco River Tunnel, $144,000,000.

On the Susquehanna River Bridge, the toll charge for a passenger
vehicle (including driver) is 20¢, with a commutation rate of 1¢.
The maximum truck rate is 40¢, with a commutation rate of 30¢.

The toll charge on the Potomac River Bridge for a passenger car
is $1.00, and it is a maximum of $2.50 for a truck.

For the Chesapeake Bay Bridge, the charge for a passenger car
and driver is $1.40, with a 25¢ charge for each additional passenger.
