“This hour now has meaning. He has enriched the soil from which he came and the soil to which he returns”. “Blessed or defamed history is really what we are.

Quaker city's inner loop plan changed Members of the Greater Indianapolis Progress Committee, Inc. On a recent visit to the city of Philadelphia were told that a similar group in that city forced the Pennsylvania highway department to depress a downtown portion of an interstate highway there. Final plans that called for an elevated highway in downtown Philadelphia were junked after a local “blueribbon group” demanded the change and aide to Mayor James H. J. Tate of the “Quaker City” reported. Members of the local group also visited the city of Pittsburgh where according to widespread reports more than $85 million in federal aid (grants) has been expended over a period of ten years. The local group surveyed or studied urban renewal projects in Pittsburgh. F. Ross Vogelesang, executive director of the Indianapolis Metropolitan Plan Commission told concerned parties of Philadelphia that the controversy there sounded a lot like the situation in this city. Edmund N. Bacon executive director of the Philadelphia Planning Commission noted three reasons for the city’s successful redevelopment and renewal program. These included realization of city residents that a renewal program is vital, ’excellent cooperation between wealthy business and poltical leaders and a $397 million capital budget detailing specific projects to be completed during a 6-year period that are approved by city council. C. O. Alig, Jr., widely known, top-ranking local bank executive and one of the 13 directors of the Progress Committee appears to have gone on record as supporting the lower level or depressed downtown section of the highway. Mr. Alig is reported as declaring “. . . I want to see the job finished on time and I’d like to have it depressed. It wouldn’t cause any delay . . .”
