CITY WILL GET U. S. FUNDS ON STREET WORK Traffic Lane Widening and Resurfacing Are Among Project Plans. Forty-eight per cent of the $lO,000.000 in federal funds allotted Indiana for road building will be expenfled in widening and resurfacing city streets, it was announced today by Chairman James D. Adams of the state highway commission. A large part will go to Indianapolis, he said. Plans for the expenditure have been submitted to the federal government for approval. It means $4,800 000 for work in cities of more than 3,500; $4,700,000 on routes outside corporate limits and $500,000 on federal highways. The latter are secondary routes leading into federal highways. Commissioners spent last week on state tours to study city street improvements. Where local co-opera-tion from the city administration is provided the#work will be accomplished first, Adams said. The entire project is part of the movement to provide jobs to aid national recovery from the economic depression. City streets to be resurfaced by the state highway department, using the federal funds, must have a minimum width of 36-feet, the commission has ruled.

HURLEY DENIES ANY LINK WITH INSURANCE BIDS Ex-Secretary of War Says He Has No Interest in Illinois Life Deal. BY CHARLES E. CARLL Times Staff Writer CHICAGO, July 11.—Asserting that he never has taken an active part in the proposed reorganization of the U.nois Life Insurance Company, Patrick J. Hurley, former secretary of war, today revealed that he has refused several offers to join in proposals. Hurley told The Times correspondent in Washington that he had been offered the chairmanship of the board of directors if he would

align with one of the groups, but said that he declined. Hurley’s name figured in the situation here when it was learned that he b*d been in Chicago in the interest of a large policy he holds in the defunct insurance firm. The federal committee jvhich is to recommend one of fifteen bids for rehabilitation of the company still is meeting this afternoon. Included in the list is one with which James E. Watson, former senator of Indiana, has been linked. Watson has issued denials of his contact with the proposal, but others close to him have declared that he would be named a director and counsel if the plan is aporoved. Watson is named in the plan of “Hugh D. Hart and associates.” The proposal calls for mutualization of the defunct company which, at its height, had assets of $14,000,000, total policyholders of 70,000. and insurance valued at $177,000,000. Since the crash nine months ago. the assets have dwindled rapidly. It is considered likely that the

federal committee will make Its selection of the new comoany and present the recommendation to Federal Judge James H. Wilkerson late today. Hurley told The Times that Watson had talked with him about Hart, a former eastern insurance man, who. if the plan is carried through, would be named president of the company at a "sacrifice salary” of $17,500 annually. The Hart-Watson proposition has been termed a ‘sltoestrmg” proposal by persons interested. It is understood that, because of this situation. Hurley does not look with favor on the Hart-Watson plan Hurley also asserted that rumors of any great money-making scheme in reorganization of the Illinois Life were false, because his investigation of the setup convinced him “no honest group can make money for the next fifteen years.”
