Cooper told the delegatee that Indiana ranks 10th nationally in interstate highway construction now underway .including 139 miles of roads costing 63 million dollars and 190 bridge® costing 48 milhons. He told of other highway work the state is doing. "This is quite a change," Cooper said, “from several years back when the late Sam Hadden, th.-n chairman of the Indiana State Highway Commission, returned from Washington and rakher ruefully informed us that only Puerto Rico was in a worse position than Indiana in the obligating of federal funds. “There was. of course, a good reason at that time because there had been no increase in the. gas tax rate since 1929 and inflation and highway need had greatly exceeded the ability of available state funds to do the job.” Over 2,500 Daily Democrats an ■old and delivered io Decatur each day.
