At the end of last month, the road had earned for the entire year net revenues estimated at slightly less than 10 million dollars as against an annual interest requirement of $9,800,000. That left $693,000 in excess of annual interest, with December unreported. Monthly net revenues each month during 1959 have topped the corresponding month of 1958. Earnings last December were $531,960. November earnings of $642,636 were slightly higher than for the same month last year. But the amount was insufficient to meet the monthly interest requirement of $816,667. , Profits during the seasonally heavy traffic summer months more than offset the November decrease.

Law Firm Planning Open House Sunday The Volewede and Anderson law offices will be featured in an open house Sunday afternoon by the contractors of the edifice, the most recent addition to the downtown Decatur area. Housing the law offices of Robert S. Anderson and Arthur Voglewede, the Stonite exterior of the building lends itself to a modern, yet simple and functional design. General contractor Kenneth Arnold, of the Arnold Lumber Co., parlayed a residence feature to the building with the dignity of a business establishment. The interior, painted and decorated by Fred Baker, of Decatur, features pastels of beige, tan and brown, blending with the overall color sceme of the structure. The beige wall-to-wall carpeting in the offices and library was completed by Harold Myers. Besides the separate offices for Voglewede and Anderson and the up to, date library and conference room combination, a rental office with private entrance also has the furnishings of the other rooms. A long hall connects all rooms as utility seems to be the by-word in the construction. A full basement houses the storage vault, incinerator, and combination heating and air conditioning system which is automatically controlled. Shell Bros, installed the system as Well as the plumbing as sub-contractors to Arnold. Mrs. Pauline Haugk prepared the drapes for all the windows in the reception room and the three ofices and library. All the rooms have the newest in lighting fixtures as they can be moved along ceiling slides and adjusted to any height by simply pulling the cords. In the Anderson officer a confernce desk with an “accommodating knee' feature highlights the accessories. At no point along either side of the desk can a person sitting there bump a knee against a support; it is so constructed. The entire ceiling of the onestory building is acoustically tiled. The reception counter also serves as the iling cabinets for the*many forms and paper accumulated in a law office, and two large closettype areas also house paper stock and forms.

Study Committee Plans Legislation INDIANAPOLI S(UPI) — The Legislative Processes Study CommMm has come up with a committee consolidation recommendation expected to relieve some of the headaches encountered by lawmakers during the 61-day sessions of the Indiana General Assembly. The committee Tuesday adopted a proposal that would cut the number of standing committees to 27 for each house. At present, the House has 43 standing committees, the Senate 39. Most of the Important work is accomplished in committees. Committee members hold public hearings on proposed bills, consult with experts regarding the merits of the proposed measure and make necessary changes before the bill is reported out for a vote by the entire membership of each house. Committee support of a bill virtually assures its passage in that house, since the majority party has the larger representation on the Committees. By the same token, a committee can kill a measure by taking no action on it or by reporting it out of committee with a recommendation that it not pass. Most lawmakers concede that the committee system is the only practical method that can be used to enact laws. But many complain they are on so many committees they cannot attend the meetings. This is particularly true when a half dozen or more committees meet at once. Trade in a good town — Decatw
