MANY STREETS ARE IMPROVED Few Remonstrances to Road, Street And Alley Projects Throughout State Indianapolis. Jun* 24 — (United Pre**)—Reeldents of Indiana are h* 1 i ginning to realize that Improvements are essential to the progress of th* state and despite high (axes few re-* monstrances were filed against a record number of road, street, alley j and sidewalk projects advertised bv civic and county officials during th» past thirty days. j This fact la shown In a summary of daily reports Issued during the past thirty days by the Construction Digest division of the Indiana Clip , ping Service. | Exclusive of state highway work. 162 road, projects, providing for coun-J ty roads of concrete, brick, bitntnln-I ous. macadam and gravel, have been advertised. The bulk of this work la advertised in northern Indiana and costs are estimated from $1,009 a mile for gravel roads to $30,000 a mile for concrete highways. One hundred and twenty-two bridges and culverts projects to be' constructed of steel and reinforced concrete have been advertised. Most of the street improvement work has been advertised in northern Indiana, or north of a line drawn from east to west through Indianapolis. One hundred and thirty-six street projects have been advertised. A few of the cities showing up heavily in the advertising included Indianapolis. Gary. Evansville. Terre Haute. Newcastle. Ixigansport. Hammond, Fort Wayne. Kokomo, Lebanon. Vincennes. Washington and Bedford. South Bend, in northern Indiana, showed very little in comparison with the other larger cities but officials say the northern Indiana city already has one of the finest street systems in the state and maintenance is the problem there. Thirty-four sewer projects are being considered by contractors throughout the state as a result of improvement plans for the last few weeks and 61 sidewalks have been advertised by civic off.cials. Numerous alley projects will have been started upon before the end of •rhe summer and 72 have been advertised. It is expected that before the summer is over many times this number will have been bid on by state contractors. The number of improvements in the state is not as great as in many other states but Indiana and Indiana counties and cities have made it a policy !to pay as the work is done while other states float large bond issues to finance such projects. Officials say this method is more expensive than the "pay as you go" suit Indiana taxpayers are rece'ving plan adopted by Indiana and as a reI the greatest possible value from each dollar spent. o —• Republican Editors Meet At Fort Wayne Today —— i Fort Wayne.
