Ohio Seeks Funds To Build Turnpike State Or Federal , Funds Suggested COLUMBUS (INS) — Ohio turnpike commission chairman Janies W. Shocknessy has suggested using state or federal highway funds to build the proposedf Cincinnati-Con-turnpike.' Ohlo i a Q ‘®p turnpike official expressed hope that the huge project could be undertaken with government funds in the event private financiers decline to back it. A preliminary study by consulting engineers on the road shows that two turnpike sections —a Cin-cinnati-to-Conneaut route with a leg running from Columbus to Toledo — would probably pay for themselves but ’ might be considered by investors as "too risky” an undertaking. Shocknessy urged that the entire project be built “from whatever moneys are available.” He suggested that President Eisenhower’s 350-million highway expansion fund might be utilized. The east-west turnpike across northern Ohio, like the Pennsylvania and New Jersey superways, was built from bond issues backed by private investment houses. Shocknessy said if the federal government would grant S6O Oto S7OO-mlllion the throughway could be built as a toll-free public road by the state highway department.

Governor Tabs Education And Highway Needs Governor Outlines Basic Program To Be Given Assembly INDIANAPOLIS (INS) — The biennipj gubernatorial message to the Indiana general assembly still is eight weeks away, but Gov. George N. Craig already is on record with the proposals he plans to make then. The governor outlined his basic program Tuesday in an address before a joint session of the Indiana Chamber of Commerce with legislators and others who attended the Chamber’s pre-legislative conference. Goy. Craig tabbed educational and highway needs as the two biggest problems awaiting action by the lawmakers when they convene Jan. 6. The Republican governor, who has many intraparty opponents within the assembly membership in addition to the Democratic minority, promised he would confine his suggestions to basic needs of the state and would not advocate any political legislation. One of the most controversial items of the legislative preview was Craig’s plan to add two more toll roads to the present one already under construction across northern Indiana. He declared: "A north-south toll road, from Lake county to the Ohio river; will be proposed to the next legislature.” Craig also said he will seek approval of a third pay-as-you-go road across the southern third of Indiana, probably from Cincinnati to Vincennes, part of a future link with St. Louis. The governor did not mention the hassle that had led to the Indiana toll road commission’s agreement last October to delay the north-south toll road plans until the 1955 general assembly meets. The commission had received a preliminary traffic survey showing that the southern portion of the north-south toll road was not financially feasible at present. However, Albert J. Wedeking. executive director of the toll road commission, opined that the governor was not disregarding this report in making his recommendation. He said the history of toll roads indicates that once the Hammontjßb-IndianapqJia, qt&tiqji of the road were constructed, the volume of traffic feeding into the southern area would be great enough to make the Indianapolis-to-Ohio river feasible also. - No feasibility survey hgs ever been made on the third toll road which the governor proposes. The governor said his legislative program is divided into four categories—health, education, transportation and corrections. He said he felt the mental health and correctional worries of the state were solved basically by acts passed during the 1953 general assembly. Added personnel and construction of new buildings remain as problems, in these two categories. However, he said he will propose transfer of parole duties from webfare departments to the department of correction. Os the state's schools, the governor charged: “We are beginning to have schools you force children to attend but after attending do not qualify them for college/’ He warned that not only the present inadequate secondary school facilities, but the approaching time when colleges and Universities will be turning away students must concern the 1955 assembly. Craig repeated his opposition to a bonus for Korean war veterans, "or any other ’veterans” and wept for the spilt milk of the. World War II bonus, saying: “If we had that $135 million, we wouldn't have any highway or education problems." He opined that the best way to help veterans was to build needed schools and hire more teachers for his children, and to build highways that would help cut down on the traffic slaughter resulting from obsolete or over-crowded roads. Craig said he thought that present problems could be met without any new or additional taxes. County Shrine Club Will Sponsor ShowThe Adams county Shrine club will sponsor a comedy show by the Mizpah Masquers at the Masonic hall Wednesday evening, Nov. 24, at 8 o’clock. The Mizpah Masquers, a unit of 30 Shriners from Mlzah Temple, Fort Wayne, will give an hour comedy show to all Masons and their wives. The Masquers have been recognized all over northern Indiana as one of the outstanding comedy groups ever to put on such a show. They are one of the most popular units at Shrine conventions. . Clarence Zlner, of the Adame county Shrine club, is program chairman for this event.
