Construction of five new bridges is being considered, Highways Minister Allan told the legislature Wednesday as he in- troduced a bill providing for es- tablishment of a toll authority. The bill would permit the cab- inet to "designate the Skyway over the Burlington Canal, the Fort Frances Causeway, any bridge over or tunnel under the Welland Canal or any interna- tional bridge or tunnel as a toll bridge." Mr. Allan said international bridges are planned at the Niag- ara River and Sault Ste. Marie and he disclosed "there are pres- ently discussions between On- tario and New York State rela- tive to a new bridge in the Queenston area connecting our highway system with the New Yor" Thruway." Tolls would also be collected on 'either or both bridges" at Rainy River and Fort Frances. As for the Welland Canal, "it would seem that at least two bridges or tunnels would be re- quired." FOR LIFT BRIDGE The highways minister dis closed that a deal has been made with the federal govern- ment for construction of a life- bridge over the Burlington Canal for both rail and motor traffic ~which would be free from tolls "The possibilities mentioned above involve a very large sum of money--probably in the neigh- borhood of $100,000,000 "This is over and above any highway program envisaged in the province, It is very obvious that if this program is to be pro ceeded with, of course, the prin- cipal revenues would come from tolls. It is therefore desirable that there should be general au thority to proceed in the coming year if the necessity arises." Mr. Allan gave no indication of what tolls might be charged but his bill set out penalties for those who might try to avoid paying them. Fines for a first offence would run from $5 to $10 and for subsequent offences $10 to $50 Under the bill Ontario would be able to enter into agreements with other governments for the management of toll bridges "The government is presently negotiating with our own federal government, thé governments of New York and Michigan and other areas and interests. This development can have immense possibilities for Ontario, - includ "This isn't a plan. All we've igot here are the costs.

Al- together 748 miles of road would be built and 124 bridges or over- passes erected. Contracts for Ontario's 1,440 mile stretch of the trans-Canada highway would provide an addi- tional 314 miles and 36 structures at a cost of $28,000,000.
