SAFETY PLAN | ADVANCED BY JAMES ADAMS Highway Program For 1937 Includes Safety Factors Widened rights-of-way are a major point in Indiana’s program of highway improvement for added ; motoring safety. James D. Adams. I chairman of the state highway commission, asserted during one of I the sessions of the American Association of State Highway Officials ' convention at San Francisco recently. In Indiana, he said, we feel that the greatest contribution to motoring safety during the past three years has been widening the right-of-way on 1,800 miles of state highways to 100 feet on primary roads and to 80 feet on secondary roads. This makes it possible to extend the shoulders, to widen culj verts and to build shallow side j ‘ ditches. We find that the number of accidents —as compared to years prior to the widening—has been reduced by half. On other sections of these same highways where the shoulders have not been widened, | a shocking increase is found in the number of accidents and the number killed. Curves Eliminated Indiana has expended millions of dollars in the elimination of curves which were too sharp for modern , speeds and in the improvement of sight distances to meet changing needs. In the past two years our state has spent more than $83,000 to reflectorize signs to mark surves, highway intersections and the inside limits of bridge handrails. But it's money well spent. So is the $60,000 or more than we spent each year to mark centerlines on our state highways. In the past four years the highway commission has constructed or has under contract for construction. sixty-one railroad grade crossing eliminations—more than were built in the all-time history of the state highway commission prior to four years ago. Extensive Program Indiana has embarked upon an extensive program of divided-lane highways on the more heavily traveled routes. Twenty-five miles of such construction is now under contract and the 1937 program provides for paving the first lane of a divided-lane highway on an additional twenty-five miles and for the grading and structures ou sixty-two miles. During the pa.tt Tour years Indiana has widened more than three t

"Now I am a private citizen," he said. His impeachment resulted from his clash with legislative groups which wanted to raise $2,000,000 a i year for the support of 3,600 armycontrolled, army instructed rural schools by a 9-cent a bag sugar tax.
