The Portland Commercial-Review says: “There is a movement on foot to plan a highway through Portland, that would bring many motorists through here in the course of a year. The highway to be established would mean that a course would be pointed out to the motorist which would tell .him the direction from Fort W ayne to Cincinnati. Heretofore, in the various auto guides. Portland was eliminated. and the course from Fort Wayne to Cincinnati went byway of Bluffton and Hartford City, a rounda-about way. but this new auto course if tt will go through will hit Decatur. Berne, Ridgeville and Richmond. A meeting will be held in Fort Wayne September 10. and it is hoped that Portland motorists will attend. The purpose of this meeting is to discuss various plans of obtaining funds to paint the telephone poles as guides to the autoists, and to name this new highway. Fort Wayne is doing her share and Portland must do her part. The expense of painting the telephone poles which will serve as a guide will not exceed $2.50 per mile. You will then rest assured that the many motorists who pass from Fort Wayne to Cincinnati every summer will pass through Portland, instead of going around the other way, which gives Portland no publicity at all.” n PUBLIC SALE.
