Chairman Fate, of the Chamber of Commerce road committee, is pretty well pleased with the prospects of’ securing favorable action from the state highway commission on the proposed “J. H.” route between Indianapolis and Chicago. He says that there is yet much to be done before the route is fully established. It has been found by the committee thatj a great number who are enthusi-'; astically in favor of the road, are taking it for granted that this route ' will be the one chosen, and are making little or no effort to clinch the matter. There is a possibility that. the commission will decide to lay a highway straight north from Indianapolis to the Lincoln highway, and then connect each county seat and each city of 5,000 by short spurs from this main line. If this is done, it will probably be years before—a through route from Crown Point to Rensselaer and then on to Indianapolis is constructed. An effort is being made by the Chamber of Commerce to raise a permanent road fund, which will be used not only in def raying the expenses of the committee in securing this route, but as B fund to draw upon if necessary in other road matters. The highway proposition is one of the biggest problems that Lake county citizens have to contend with and the Chamber of Commerce is rendering valuable service to the entire community by its prompt and effective action.—Crown Point Register. - ■ Lewis Quinn, of Gary, is spending the week-end with his parents.
