Mr. Dille already has met with Chicago Sky Way officials to work out routing programs advantageous to both roads. 8. A meeting will be held with representatives of other toll roads between Chicago and New York to study advisability of a joint sales department for commercial traffic, threby cutting costs. 4. Preliminary studies show that motor clubs usually route members over regular interstate highways ratherthan toll roads. We will attempt to sell the efficiency, safety, speed of travel (not per hour). Traveling on new interstate limited-access roads, one has to go off road for gas, food, lodging, etc. Toll facilities can accommodate in this area. 5. We are giving consideration to an educational program for local communities, etc., on how they can zone property that would be attractive for industrial expansion. We need industry to attract travel. We will try to sell “Main Street of America,” Chicago to New York. The above are just a few of the programs that Mr. Dille has, in only a month’s time, inaugurated to sell “the Road.” - - Governor, I feel I must caution you to not, and specially point out that the above savings are real operating savings but may not necessarily reflect in the Operations account in our budget. Some months ago a representative of one of our trustees, Mr. Dilatush of Merchants National Bank, when discussing with me details of the Toll Road asked, “When are you going to get honest with your budget?” This startled me and on inquiry I learned from him (I should have known) that we still were charging to our Construction account $246,000, practically all of which should have been charged to Operations. The new budget will be honest, but as a result we will not be able to reflect in our Operating budget a true picture of savings we have initiated. They will be reflected fn the budget as a whole. - I must be frank to say that most of the savings have been brought about only because we have faced up to , the fact that the Road is complete, thereby eliminating jobs that were necessary during construction, and by moving Indianapolis office to South Bend. Your Commission is thoroughly convinced that further savings will be made. They may not be readily apparent in Operating or Construction - budgets because they will be offset to some extent by, for instance, cost of consulting engineers on future interchanges, etc. Savings will be brought about by: 1. Further job consolidations; 2. Efficiency brought about in operation procedures ;♦ 3. Consolidation of South Bend office into Granger M 3 headquarters office. *We are studying advisability of maintaining our own toll equipment. This will necessitate additional employees, cars, etc., but will afford a net savings of at least $35,000. This change is. recommended by old time employees of staff but your Commission is being certain to be sure of all facts. Because of declaring Road complete, it was -possible to transfer funds to purchase bonds. Future interest savings per year will be a minimum of $175,000. Summation: Salary savings $181,759.92 Car Rental — 19,790.40 Future Rental Savings 34,196.00 Interest Savings 175,000.00 Total $410,746.32** **Ke.ep in mind, additional savings of phone, travel, etc. Amount charged to Construction which will be charged to Operations in future $246,000.00 Net savings to Operations $164,746.32 I will keep you informed from month to month or oftener, if necessary, of important matters — budget, revenue, etc., of the Toll Road operations. Cordially yours, ' ' ■ . " ~ V Belch Chairman 1 X To Be Continued 1 editorial Writer Today Dick D. Heller, Jr

Withholding Funds From Marion County INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — State auditor Dorothy Gardner said today her office is withholding more than $700,000 from Marion County in an effort to force settlement on money the county owes the state. . $ Mrs. Gardner and deputy auditor Allen Lindley said the withheld funds include (553,041 from motor vehicle distribution funds; $7,137 from school distribution; $108,515 in intangible tax money, and $41,522 in surplus dog taxes. The Indiana attorney generals office on May 31 won a judgment from the county for $542,120, including “clothing, education, rehabilitation and maintenance* for needy mental patients at state institutions and transportation and other extra costs for county inmates at the State Boys School, Girls’ School and State Farm. “Why should the state settle with the county if the county doesn’t settle with us?” asked Mrs. Gardener. She pointed out that under the law, the auditor is required to collect money owed to the state. Mrs. Gardner said she discussed with Atty. Gen. Edwin Steers what action she should take and was advised she should withhold the funds if no other settlement could be reached. “I was told, remember Terre Haute,” she said. “So I did.” This was a reference to a similar case a few years ago when a I former state auditor ) withheld $26,000 from Terre Haute, which had failed to pay a postwar building loan.
