Red Speeches Road Projects

Construction Urged in North Part of State

By IRVING LEIBOWITZ Should Indiana build toll roads? The problem of making motorists pay for driving on certain roads has long been a controversial topic in Hoosierland, where the state has built roads, buildings and bridges from taxes. At the direction of the 87th State Legislature, Gov. Schricker today appointed a five-man com-| mission to study the “advisabil-| ity” of constructing toll roads. New Board Members Named to the Indiana Toll Road Commission were: | James D. Adams, banker and manufacturer of Columbia City. | Bruce Short, engineer for the Hugh J. Baker Co. of Indianapolis. Charles Evansville.

The main purpose of the commission, as outlined by the state legislature, is to “investigate the feasibility of developing toll roads” in Indiana. | At present, many state Sena-| tors and Representatives from] northern Indiana are pushing for a toll road across the northern part of the state. i On the floor of the General As-| sembly, they advocated building} such a toll road to connect with ¥ the Ohio Toll Road, now in con-| struction. This would link In-| diana with the famous Pennsylvania Turnpike. . ! State Sen: Louis Baldoni, Demo-| erat of South. Bend, told his col leagues ‘during the last session of the state legislature that an Indiana link on such a super-high-way would “invite” industry to come to the state. Mr. Hadden, who was consulted by Gov. Schricker before the toll road appointments were made, said toll roads are “a very old! idea.” = He explained that for some time states had stopped building toll roads because “they are not too popular” with the automobileriding public. He added, however, that the idea had been revived because many states were having difficulty financing free roads. Need OK by Engineers Should the toll road commis- — sion decide it is “feasible” !
