Both Covington and Newport have received many times the value of
the bridge in money, and while so doing were enabling the Green Line to reap a
golden harvest on its bridge at Eleventh st. for it made possible the charging
of a high toll rate on that bridge.
"There are a number of conditions that must be taken into consideration," said Fred McLane, candidate for mayor in Newport. "I understand the city must only place about $2700 a year aside to take care of the bonds to pay for the bridge. If I as mayor cannot save $2700 on salaries, then I'd make a poor mayor. I'm for freeing the bridge."
