CONSTRUCTION STILL IN DOUBT Indiana-Illinois Bridge Projects May Be Held Up Indefinitely Indianapolis. Nov. -6 — (UP) — [whether several years of discussions between highway commisHlonenH of Illinois and Indiana will be culnilni,ted with the construction of two bridges across the Wabash river rd Vincennes and Mt. Carmel, was a matter of conjecture among heads of the bridge department of the Indiana commission today. one would say definitely how soon It appeared that negotiations between the two states would be completed. Highway department officials here have announced that signing of agreements for construction of the bridges awaits approval of the Illinois body, but it was believed several legal tangles may stand in the way of consummating the agreements. Present plans provide for construction of the Vincennes bridge by Indiana. with Illinois paying one-halt the cost, and construction of the Mt. Carmel bridge by Illinois, with Indiana paying half the cost. Deputy attorneys general for both states have met and drawn up tentative agreements to be signed by officials of the states. These have not been definitely completed, it was understood. Construction plans for both structures have been completed, the United Press learned, but have not been definitely accepted. According to John J. Brown, highway commission director. the Indiana commission is ready to proceed immediately upon signing of the agreements. The war department ha,s approved construction of both bridges. O j ¥ ¥V¥**¥****S * NEWS FROM MAGLEY * K **¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥i. Miss Alma Scherry entertained for supper Wednesday evening.
