FORCE REVISION IN ROAD FUND

Only Half May Be Spent in First Half of Year, Jackson Rules.

- The State Highway Commission will be forced to revise its spending program during the next fiscal year, beginning July 1, under an opinion issued today by Attorney General Samuel D. Jackson. The opinion stated that “no more

than 50 per cent of the $4,500,000 - {appropriation for maintenance and detour operations can be used le-|

gally during the first six months of 1941.” State highway officials said con-

struction programs during the first part of the year always call for

more spending than the last half |

of the year. They had planned to carry over some funds from the last of 1940 to use after Jan. 1 but the

| Attorney General's opinion will block

that plan. Irn another opinion Mr. Jackson ruled that unused funds of the Governor’s Commission on Unemployment relief do ot revert back to the State general fund but to the original Commission appropriation.

HOPES FOR AIRPORT SUPER-ROAD FADE

Superintendent I. J. Deinhart’s hopes for a super highway linking Municipal Airport with downtown Indianapolis were fading today. Mr. Deinhart last year proposed that the route be constructed on the abandoned right-of-way of the Indiana Railroad’s former Indian-apolis-Terre Haute traction line. Works Board members said they did not believe money could be made available through the 1941 budget to finance the proposed road. They said that they would not go into details of the proposal unless some Governmental agency would agree to finance it. Mr. Deinhart suggested that such a roadway would be invaluable in the event of industrial areonautical expansion at the airport, but Board

of High School Road would provide sufficient access to the port. The former traction line right-of-way passes the north end of the airport and extends directly to the west end of Oliver Ave.

Digs Water Well But Strikes Gas

Times Special HUNTINGTON, Ind., June 14. —A gas pocket was located 175 feet under the ground during the digging of a water well at the home of Fred Deemer, of Warren Township, near here. The well, which is about 10 feet from the house, shot a stream of water 20 feet into the air when he pocket was hit. A match held over the top ignited the gas, and the flaming pillar brought a large crowd to’the home. Workmen obtained some of the gas in a rubber balloon to take to a chemist for identification. Oscar Crull, the driller, said the gas had no odor.
