JONES (Times Herald Reporter) The future of Michigan imposed tolls on the Blue Water Bridge presently rests with a legal opinion being sought from, Attorney according General to Frank state officials. Gary Barrett of the State Highway Department in Lansing told The Times Herald Wednesday that the department has asked Kelley to decide if State law would allow the Canadian Blue Water Bridge Authority to collect tolls for Michigan. The Authority presently collects a 25 cent toll levied by Ontario to help maintain the bridge.

Michigan would have to erect its own toll booths, presumably on the U.S. side of the bridge, if Kelley rules that the Authority cannot collect the Michigan tolls, Barrett said. The State Highway Department has been negotiating with the Bridge Authority to arrive at a toll program for the bridge. The groups last met about five weeks ago, according to W. Howard Young of the Canadian group.

Any plan by the Highway Department to collect tolls on the bridge would have to be approved by the State Legislature.

A provision of the 1970 Federal Aid to Highways Act, passed by Congress last fall, tolls on over the bridge. allows Michigan to impose An earlier federal had prohibited such tolls after the original construction bonds for the bridge had been fully paid. The last bonds were paid off in 1962 and then the former State Bridge Commission of Michigan eliminated all tolls. Later, Ontario imposed the present 25 cent toll in 1964. The new federal legislation made two restrictions on the State that it decided to impose a toll, according to the Washington office of Representative James Harvey (R- Saginaw).

Michigan must repay $350,000 the Federal government contributed towards the original construction of the bridge and approaches. However, the Federal government will return the money to the State in the form of road programs.
