ing today with the Indiana Flood Control and Water Resources Commission. Despite numerous reversals, West Side residents—particularly those in the Cunningham Park Addition which was inundated by the 1957 flood—continue to map strategy that will prevent the State Highway Department from going ahead with plans that property owners feel would be a major contributory factor to flooding. County Commissioner Christian J. Litscher reviewed briefly the reversals the county has experienced in its parallel attempt to bridge 465 over 21st Street and said he knew of no further course of action that can be taken. “We even offered to pay the additional SIOO,OOO or so difference the State said it would cost to elevate 465 over 21st Street,” Litscher declared, “but they turned us down.” What further action may be planned by the Speedway Town Board will be discussed at the next meeting along with the report on the two sessions with state officials this week. The Town Board in other business at its Monday night meeting gave approval to Louis Frosch and John McCormick to begin construction of nine four-family rental apartments on West 25th Street northwest of the new Speedway Shopping Center.
