JANSEN m. TO KEEP UP STATE HIGHWAY FIGHT Commission Engineers, Under Titus, Considering Specifications. Revival of the fight between crushed stone and gravel interests, which for a time threatened to demoralize the engineering force'of the State highway commission, is an- . ticipated in the road body’s forthcoming verdict on specifications for the Charles H. Jansen Rd. in Marion County. The commission itself will not enter as actively in the present controversy as it did in the squabble several days ago, it is believed however. on the Jansen Rd. were turned over to the commission several days ago for .action. Study Specifications William J. Titus, named to succeed Chesleigh Gray as chief engineer for the commission, said his men are engaged in a study of the specifications and that a report will be ready in a few days. It was learned that highway engineers under Titus pronounce the coarse aggregate specifications on the Jansen Rd. as the “Schmidt mixture.” County commissioners approved paving the road, which extends northeast on the north side of Fall Creek from Thirty-Eighth St. bridge to Keystone Rd. The specifications on the Jansen Rd. are those prescribed some time ago for Marion County by George G. Schmidt, county surveyor. The highway commission ordered Chesleigh Gray, chief engineer, to discredit the Schmidt specifications on the Maun Rd., another Marion County highway. Gray refused and was discharged. He declared Schmidt's specifications superior to those of the highway commission. Disapproval Seen Titus, who succeeded Gray, has Indicated a willingness to agree with the commission’s recommendations, so it is thought likely the Jansen specifications will be disapproved. “We're going to follow tue policy of the highway commission in this matter,” Titus said today. Titus announced that he had accepted the resignation of R. E. Finley, engineer in charge of bridge design. He said Finley’s withdrawal was for business reasons and not because of dissension. Two other highway engineers, Myron G. Johnson and John G. Willis, resigned when Gray was discharged and a wholesale walkout was predicted.
