Permanent toll on turnpike urged by state official
Harrisburg reports Roy E. Furman vice chairman of the Pennsylvania Transportation Board urged Gov. Shapp to back legislation making the Turnpike a permanent toll road. He argued toll removal would be unbusinesslike and costly, noting 1970 revenues over 76 million mainly from out of state motorists and annual costs of 18 million to operate and maintain the 470 miles. He warned freeing the Turnpike could bankrupt the state highway system or raise motorist taxes.
