Turnpike Toll Fight Over Proposed Auto Rates
A board meeting fight over planned toll increases on the Washington turnpike from the cemetery to Monocaty bridge at Frederick Junction gathers momentum. Petitions seek a hearing to block the raise, with attorney Leo Weinberg stating current auto rates would double or triple under the proposal, while teams would be unaffected. Local supporters include Bradley H. Dudrow and Dr. Benjamin C. Perry among Urbana residents. The petition argues the hike is unreasonable and excess, citing an eight percent net profit rule and county approval requirements. The turnpike company, incorporated in 1828, faces possible litigation if rates advance.
