the Ham estate by which the authority sought condemnation proceedings. Ham Estate Access Denied In affirming that decision, the Supreme Court ruled that the Ham estate had access across the approach to land on the other side, access which the estate had denied it had on the premise that the bridge authority was a private corporation and could control the granting of the privilege of the use of the roadway, The court ruled that the section is a public highway owned by the states of Maine and New Hampshire, saying: "The act that tolls were to be charged for passing the bridge indicates no more than a method of financing the project.
