Plan Cross-State Road.

Laporte, Aug. 29.—That a gigantic project in the way of an auto road from Chicago, stretching clear across northern Indiana, Is under way became known here when the plans for the road were unfolded to the Laporte county commissioners by Gary men, who enlisted their aid in helping the project along. The proposition is to extend the road from the Ridge road through Lake county, which is now improved 30 feet wide, through Porter and Laporte counties and east to the Ohio line. It is proposed to keep the road oiled through the auto season, and thus make it one of the best roads In the country.
