ROADSIDE TO GE IMPROVED Work To Start Monday On Beautification Os Highway 527 The roadside improvement program along state road 527, beginning at the corporate limits of Decatur and extending aoutheast to the Ohio state line, will start Monday, under the supervision of Wai ter A. Chaskel, project engineer, of Indianapolis. The project is sponsored by the Indiana state highway commission and is one of several to be carried out in the state in the interest of roadway beautification. The program Includes both planting and seeding. A limited amount of finished grading is also content plated. Several hundred shade trees, nursery grown, will l>e set out, according to plans designed by the landscape division of the state highway commission. These will include maples, chestnuts, hackberry, honey locust, sycamore, oaks and lindens. Small native flowering trees will also be collected and nearly 8,000 shrubs will be planted In addition to the shade trees. These latter plantings will be confined to slopes to prevent erosion and where machine mowing is impossible. A force of about 10 men will be employed on the job. Mr. Chaskel has already established temporary headquarters and is completing arrangements for the planting and seeding program. Commenting on the work and his Impression of Decatur. Mr. Chaskel said, “since arriving in your city 1 have had the pleasure and privilege of meeting a considerable number of your citizens, both officially and personally, and in every instance 1 have been received with the utmost courtesy and consideration. The property owners and residents along the highway have been exceptionally friendly and have displayed a wonderful spirit of cooperation. This attitude on the part of your citizenry is in harmony with the glowing reports of loyalty and civic uplift, of which I had been apprised prior to coming here. I look forward to an enjoyable sojourn in your midst and trust that the result of my feeble efforts will, in a measure, compensate the community for its many kindnesses." o
