Contr acts Let 43 Minutes Apart— On $3 Millon | umm State Roads
U. S. to Bear Half Of Repair Costs
Contracts for more than $3 million in Indiana Highway repairs were let today by the State Highway Commission, and for the first time the cost will be shared by the Federal government. Included in the nine large proj«ects is the unwrinkling of U. 8. 31 (Meridian St.) for six and a half miles north of Indianapolis.| The repairs will extend into Ham{lton County north of Carmel, Low bidder was Grady Bros., Inc.,

Indianapolis, with $219,724. mm . Federal funds will be obtained Wh for the first time because the rl ow -
State Highway Commission can
not use up all available U. 8. aid on new road projects.
Shortage of Engineers
Plans for ‘new arteries have been stalled by a shortage of engineers in the department, according to Jap Jones, vice-chair-man of the commission. Mr. Jones said the new policy| Sue. is in line with recommendations! of the 1951 General Assembly. Federal aid covers 50 per cent! of the construction cost of ap-| proved projects. Commissioners said they| planned to spend about $12 mil-| lion in state funds for resurfacing within the next year. Fed-! eral approval is expected on! about half the projects. i About 175 engineers and contractors attended today’s meeting at which bids were opened on 17 projects costing more than $6 million. Bids on eight of the projects were rejected because they were hi~her than the state engineers estimate.
