Not all of this construction will be on the belt highway system, Mr. Ryan said, but will include secondary. county Fosds that connect highway arteri

Some entirely. new reads will be,

built, he said. These are contingent, i ver. upon properiy = owners aking grants of lands &s the County is without funds . to purchase ts-of-way, he: asserted. “The Belt Highway System is the spearhead of the ‘highway program for 1939 and 1940,” Mr. Ryan de‘clared. “It is our intention to have the belt line completed if possible in ‘that time.’ By-passes afforded interstate mo‘tor - traffic by the belt routes will save from 45 minutes to an hour and a half in getting through Indianapolis; he estimated. It also will ‘greatly simplify the city’s traffic problem by keeping heavy truck traffic out of the city. The Belt Highway. ‘System is planned to cover: the following roads: East—Post Road, from Fort Benjamin Harrison south to Southport Road, skirting Ft. Harrison by way of Mud Creek Road, 82d St. . Road and Johnson Road, to 86th St. on the north. " South—From the Post Road, west “on Southport: Road to Harding St., to Mann Road. West—Mann Road north to State Route 67, to High School Road, north to 86th St. Road. North—86th St. Road from High School ‘Road to Johnson Road. The Post Road on the east has been improved, but on the south, the Southport Road has several breaks that will require entirely new right-of-way, the surveyor said. It also will involve construction of a ‘bridge across White River to replace the famous Southport covered bridge. : On the west, High School Road eventually will be the through belt route, but as this also requires the building of entirely new roadway in some places, a tentative route will be established by utilizing Dandy Trail to Traders Point north of 10th St. High School Road has been improved from 10th St. south to U.S. Route 40. Work will completed on 86th St. to put the north section “of the belt in good condition. The proposed belt highway system was adopted by the county originally about five years ago, Mr.

Ryan said, but no consistent plan] was ever followed to make it a real-|
