Jmore“mileage~~ ! UNLIKELY NOW J ■ State Highway Commission May Not Add More Roads to System This Year lndiana|M>lbi| Oct, 20f- Possibility that no more mileage would be added tha fiscal year to the state, highway ' system was forecast today by John D. Williams, director of the state ' highway commission. The tnileagf which may he taken over by the commission is limited partly by the appropriation for npiintenance and partly by the m.leage paved. The last legislature pared to the Jione the appropriation tor the maintenance department of the commission and that department ‘is now operating under an appropriation of 13,200.000. The commission paved 265 miles of highway during the fiscal year ending September 30. W.lliams holds a pessimistic outlet k on the prospects for road improvements during the coming year. In at least half a dozen cases road ma'atenance work has practically reached its limit. Williams said, and further maintenance will be nearly as expensive as it would be to pave the highways. A twenty five mile stretch of gravel road from Plymouth to Peru is a typical instance. Williams declared. This road will not stand up much longer unless It is renewed, i The finances of the state highway commission were the subject of heated debate during the last session of the state legislature. I Supporters of the economy platform of Governor Jackson insisted on bringing the highway commission’s expenditures un/ier budget control, while good roads enthusiasts insist- 1 ed such action would make the highway progress a political football. — —o Gary. — The Gary American Legion plans to send 175 World War vet-, erans to the American Legion convention in 1927.
