Bay Crossing Most Costly Outlay for 9 Other Spans $42,525,000 Lew Than Project By DAVE HOPE The proposed southern cross ing of the Bay will, cost more money than all nine other Bay Area spans, including those built, under construction or planned, And according to the official studies, it will serve less than 14,000 vehicles a day as com pared' with the .185,000 daily trips made over the seven bridges now in operation. With the opening of the Rich mond-San Rafael Bridge yesterday, the total investment existing vehicular bridges rose to $205,000,000. The Darallel Carquinez Bridge, now under construction, will cost an addi tional $46,000,000 and the high est estimate for a new Martinez- Berucia Bridge, now in the planning stage, is $34,000,000. COSTS COMPARED The total for the nine bridges present and future is 000,000. The-southern crossing alone will, according to the official re ports, cost $327,525,000.

3wtual certainty that it will be impossible to finance a pro ject of that magnitude has led southern crossing supporters to recommend construction of the Army Street-Bay Farm Islan span onhvwithout approaches. ine oiiiciai reports place the cost of this portion of the southern crossing project at ww nearly xaa.uuu.ouo more than all of the existing bridges comDinea. VEHICLE FIGURES Without approaches, according to ine oinciai studies, the south era crossing will serve less than 10,000 vehicles a day about the same number that now use the San Mateo-Hayward Bridge. tven with all approaches, the estimate is less than 14,000 ve hides a day for the southern crossing approximatelythe same as the San Mateo and Dumbarton bridges combined. The combination of high cost and low traffic service makes it impossible for the southern crossing to pay for itself.

Its revVhues will, according to the official reports, fall short of paying the interest on its The entire construction cost must be paid by Bay Bridge users whose toll money is-already being impounded for the southern crossing project. SEPARATELY FINANCED All of the other bridges are separately financed, each paying its own way, without drawing funds from other transbay travelers. The new RichmondSan Ra fael Bridge is the highest in basic cost of the seven existing bridges, but is still less than the total outlay for the Bay Bridge. Completed in 1936 to link downtown sections of Oakland and San Francisco, the Bay Bridge had a basic cost of $54, 7finnn added $18,701,000 for the bridge railway, and $6,500,000 for con-nections to city streets; In recent years approximately $7,000,000 has been spent on improvements to the bridge and its toll plaza, Continued Page 4-A, Col. 3 wnicn local omcers swore in vigilante police and Gov.

Frank Clement ordered out 100 highway patrolmen and units of the National Guard While the crowd was still milling on the lawn, two rifle shots were fired into the second fldoiv of the courthouse according to Leo Grant, chief of the auxiliary police. He said the shots apparently were aimed at Buford Lewallen, lawyer for the Clinton County schools and son of Mayor W. E. Lewallen. The rally was called by five Tennessee pro-segregation groups to protest Clinton High School's action in admitting a dozen Negroes among its 796 white students last Monday under federal court order.

After long delays caused by Federal regulations and the pioneering nature of Oakland's first urban renewal effort, the city began acquiring eight pieces of property fronting on 10th Ave. between East 15th St and Foothill facing the new $450,000 school. As soon as all of the property is acquired and the present owners have vacated, the one-block stretch of 10th Ave. will be closed and the houses' torn down to provide play area, for Franklin School pupils. This play area should be eady for use by early next year.
