Indiana Highway Budget Increased INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — The proposed Indiana State Highway Department budget for 1963-65 will total $325 million, about S4O million above the current budget, department spokesmen said Thursday. The figures represent a 17 per cent increase i n funds for the period, according to George Foster, executive director of the department. Foster released the figures Thursday, even though they have not yet been submitted to Budget Director John Hatchett. The requests will be reviewed by Hatchett and Governor Welsh before they go to the 1963 Legislature. The department hopes to increase its 6,360 fulltime and seasonal workers to 7,211 by the Rummer of 1965. The department actually has authorization from the last Legislature for 6,859, but did not reach this figure. , The highway budget has no direct effect upon general tax funds. Os the total requested, Foster figured $174 million would be federal funds and the rest would come from gasoline and motor vehicle taxes which are dedicated for highway use. Foster is assuming that the

present state highway bhare of 53 per cent of these dedicated taxes will remain unchanged. The Legislature is sure to get one or more bills which might cut into this share, however. Cities and towns now get 15 per cent of the gasoline and motor vehicle fuel funds and counties get 32 per cent. Foster said the department also needs money for replacement of heavy equipment. The proposed budget calls for hikes in maintenance, right-of-way and construction costs. Foster said that by next July, Indiana will have 300 miles of interstate superhighways to keep up, in addition to the other state and federal roads. He estimated total maintenance costs at about $53 million.
