sign

Dec 2007 we wrote a speculative article about a picture of an historic "Tariff of Toll Rates" sign that was identified only in the Library of Congress collection as located at the Connecticut River between Vermont and New Hampshire. It was a faded overexposed black and white photograph.

We fiddled with it Photoshop and got it barely legible.

New Jersey Turnpike Authority is trying to slim its costs a little - in line with lower traffic. Traffic in the first ten months of the year is down 4.2% on the Turnpike and down 3.0% on the Parkway. The declines are attributed to the weak economy plus unusually wet weather in the summer - seen to depress trips to the NJ coast.
