A POSSIBLE STATE ROAD FOR THE WEST SIDE

Highway Commission, Indianapolis, Indiana. Dear Sirs: At a meeting held in the town of North Judson, on May 24th, 1920, the following resolutions were adopted: “'Resolved, That a State Highway should be established beginning at the town of Reynolds, Indiana, running straight North to the town of Monon; thence North to the town of Francesville; thence North to the town of Medaryville; thence North to a point one mile North of San Pierre, Indiana, connecting with the Yellowstone Trail.” “It was further resolved that this road would be of public utility, that it would connect the important cities of Lafayette and Michigan City, that it would not be closer than sixteen miles to any other State Road, that it is a straight line, without any turns or high grade crossings, that the distance would be, twenty-five miles, with only three Railroad Crossing?.” I Respectfully yours, WILLIAM L. WOOD, i Representative Jasper, Newton and Benton Counties. JAY J. OVERMEYER, Representative Porter County. GEORGE W. HANSELL. Representative White and Pulaski. S. C. SHILLING. Representative Marshall County. WILL BROWN. ■Joint Senator Jasper, Newton, Lake and Porter Counties. ... A state highway beginning at Warsaw running west through Argos, Culver, Bass Lake, North Judson, San Pierre, LaCrosse and Kouts to Hebron has been asked for and seems likely to be granted.—Francesville Tribune.
