Illinois Toll Road Law Is Challenged Indiana To Await Federal Decision INDIANAPOLIS (INS)—The Indiana toll road commission said today it will await an Illinois court decision on pay-as-you-ride highrwaya before taking another step with the southern Indiana road. The threat to the Hoosier highway came from a special federal court panel in Chicago which challenged the constitutionality of a law setting up the Illinois state toll highway commission. Indiana chairman or. Dillon Geiger said the Indiana road’s success depends on a connecting link through Illinois to handle Cincinnati to St. Louis traffic. Geiger said; “It wouldn’t be good business to build our part of the road without the Illinois part.” ThreeChicagojuagea.lnrullng' on a suit filed by 30 Chicago property owners, held the Illinois commission can be sued despite a provision against such suit by the legislature. The federal court panel also added the state law will be ruled unconstitutional unless the court is convinced otherwise within 10 days. Trade in a Good Town '— Decatur f ■ :
