Five Automobile Roads Established in State.

After several months of preliminary arrangements, the Hoosier State Automobile Association has succeeded during the past week in perfecting the organization of five automobile highways crossing the state of Indiana. The work of the association for better roads, road and automobile legislation, road marking and touring. information is most commendable and the organization of Automobile Trails is not only of tremendous value because of getting the telephone poles painted along the best roads for travel, but it stimulates construction and maintenance of these roads. One of the newly established highways extends from Cincinnati by way of Richmond and Ft. Wayne to Kalamazoo, Mich.; one from Evansville through Indianapolis and Ft. Wayne to Detroit, Mich.; the third from Lafayette and towns in eastern Indiana to Greenville, Ohio; another from Lafayette to Columbus, Ohio, by way of Kokomo and other gas belt cities, and the fifth runs from Terre Haute to Cincinnati.
