Career Employment Plan For Highway INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — The Indiana Highway Commission today sent to the Department of Administration a career employment plan which will bring to 2,300 the number of persons working under merit conditions. Included were the district engineers, although this was questioned by some commission members who- feared it might be in violation of a 1951 law. However, Highway Chairman David Cohfen said he felt the principal of assuring job security to professional employes was at stake anti they should be included. The plan had been under discussion by the highway department for some months and had been approved tentatively. However, the plan now will require the Department of Administration’s approval. W- 11 of the hourly-paid highway Workers remain on patronage. In other action Thursday, the Highway Commission also: —Approved consultant contracts for two major interstate projects in Indianapolis for which the total construction costs is expected to be about 1 s2l million.

New Water Tower At Geneva Still Empty A recently-completed water tower, erected by the town of Geneva, is standing empty after two unsuccessful attempts to drill a well for water to fill it. Construction of the water tower was begun before the well-drilling started, under the presumption that there would be no difficultly in locating a good water-hole. The first drilling attempt went 215 feet and was completely dry. The second went 141 feet and failed to hit a good water bid. Yost Construction company has the contract for well and has guaranteed a hole which will produce 500 gallons of water per minute. Yost has subcontracted the actual drilling operations to Floyd Moody of Rockford. Drilling on the third hole is scheduled to begin soon. It will be about 300 or 400 feet from the water tower base.
