569 MILES OF ! ROAD FIBISHE9 Indiana's 1930 Record Best in History of State Building By John J. Brown, Director Indiana Highway Commission W;itt. n for the VP. Indianapolis, Jan. I.— KU.R) —Highway constiuction in Indiana reached its peak during the past year | witli completion of more than 560 jm'les of pavement—the largest 'amount ever constructed in on-* : year. At present, ths state system em- i bracts 6,010 miles —a network con-' ■ nection all county seat towns and cities of at least 2,500 population.; Os this total, more than 3,100 miles I are paved. Much of the new paving this! year was near populous cities and was 30, 36. and 40 feet wide. If | mileage were estimated on the 18 I and 20 feet standard width, there' was actually paved in 1930, the equivalent of 583 miles. Total expenditures of the highway department during the last fiscal year was $22,569,171.12 and receipts were $23,349,628.01. Expenditures in the 1929 fiscal year were $20,733,264.12 and rec ipts were $21,438,982.86. Aggregate of federal aid collectled in 1930 was $2,072,530.61. In 1929. there were 479 miles of [pavement constructed, making a I total of 1,039 milts completed during the first two ytars of Gover | ncr Leslie's administration. This | total is nearly one-third of the agI gregate mileage paved in the last 111% years. The 136 major bridges constructled in 1930 cost $2,225,000. Twelve (were grad- separations to avoid dangerous railroad crossings. Onei of the largest structures was tlie White river bridge at Noblesville I 'which is a concrete arch with sixj I spans of 72 feet each. Anotn :r I large structure was the Lincoln t Memorial bridge at Petersburg! which is 1,652 feet long. Its cost was approximately $270,000. Plans for bridge construction | during the coming year include the i Ohio river bridge at Evansville which will cost approximately $2,i 500,000 and the Wabash river [biidg.s at Vincti.nes and Mt. Carmel. Indiana will coiled $1,250,000 of Federal aid on the Evansville project, leaving only about $25,000 to be raid with state funds. The department plans to construi t approximately 500 miles of : paving during the coming year and to continue its program of oiling ' and gravelling 1,000 miles of unsurfaced mads to make them dustless during the heavy summer traffic. it will undoubtedly be impossible in future years to construct as much pavement as was included in programs of the past two years because of the increased cost of maintenance. Unless highway de- , partment receipts are increased, it f will be necessary to use money for , maintenance purpos s which in th ;.pa.“.t -wa. used for construction. Members of tlie highway com • ; mission are Albert .1. Wedeking, ,Dnle. chairman; Robert V. Boren, , I Fountain City; Arthur P. Mollon. . I Gary, and Jess I* Murden, Peru.

They are to be credited with the I judicious selection of routes taken into the state system and the roads to be improved. Among the large paving projects completed in 1930 were the followi ing: Sixty miles on V. S. 50 between Washington and Loogootee, and 'between Seymour and Versailles. Forty miles on road 6 bet we'r Ligonier and Kendallville, and bej tween Hobart and Westville. Sixty-four miles on road 43 from ■ Ciawfordsville to the Pulaski I county line via Lafayette and Mo non, and between LaCrosse and Wanatah. Nineteen milts on U. S. 27 between Bryant and Berne and from Fort Wayne to Auburn, completing a paved road across the state from College Corner. 0., to ths Michigan line via Liberty. Eighteen miles on road 54 from Bloomfield to U. S. 41 south of Sullivan, completing pavement from Indianapolis to Evansville. I o — Cops Plan Newspaper I Omaha.

I—(U.R)— Dc- ' pressed business conditions during ' 1930 reacted favorably for insur- ' ance companies, and Hoosier pol- ‘ icy holders paid premiums amounting to $211,928.05, according to records of the state insurance de-! partment. The amount does not 1 include premiums paid to farm ■ mutuals or foreign companies. > The insurance companies operating in the state paid taxes ag- -™" 11 — —. . j I Notice of Annual Meeting 1 The Annual meeting of the memr bers of the Decatur Savings & .
