PEOPLE ARE AGAINST
REPAIR OF HIGHWAY
Mass Meeting of Citizens Held
and Fund is Raised to Con-
duct Campaign Against Paw
ing of Township Highways.

A big meeting OF Mishawaka citi-
Zens was held Tuesday evening in the
corridors OF the city hall to organize
a campaign TO protest against the
proposed paving of Lincoln way east
OF MishaWakas cOrporated limits TO
the Elkhart county line and south
along the Bremen road TO the line 'Of
Madison township. The protest Is be-
ing made by MishaWaka citizens be-
cause. according to the Indiana high
way law hVe-sevenths of the total cost
OF the improvement viii have TO be
paid by them. A rough estimate Of
the cost OF the Improvement is placed
at S17 900 a mile for Lincoln highway
and $1,000 a mile for the Bremen
road pavement.
About 100 OF the prominent men
OF the city were present including sew
eral Of the city officials. j. j. Engle-
drum, the prominent worker who has
been fighting the pavement Of town
ship roads for several years, was in
charge OF the meeting He gave a
short address on the purpose of the
gathering and went into considerable
detail with the proceedings Of the law
In regard 10 paying for the highway
improvements by cities Of less than
10000. AS Mishawaka IS I'm the class
OF less than $4,000 the property OWL
ers OF the city will be compelled TO
pay for any pavement improvements
made TO roads in Penn township.
This is the direct cause Of the fight
which has been taken up by Mr.. En-
gledrum and the citizens of Misha-
waka.
Three years ago a movement was
on foot to pave some Of the township
roads but by a fight instigated and
directed by Mr.. Engledrum the inn
prOvement was never made. Later
the movement was again started but
again IL was quelched. Recently the
matter came up and the latter part
OF this month il is planned by the
county commissioners to put the prop
osition through.
After considerable discussion Of the
matter by various prominent citizens
at the meeting Mr.. Engledrum point
ed out the necessity of securing a
lawyer to take up the fight. In the
previous campaign Atty Charles
Bingham had charge Of the cases. AS
there is no organization of the per-
sons and citizens interested in the
protest IL was necessary at the meet
ing Tuesday evening to raise the
amount OF money for attorney fees.
Two men were selected by the speaker
OF the evening to pass the hat News
paper men present took the names of
those pledging money for the fund
and between the cash donated and
the amounts OF the pledges made, a
total OF $40 was raised This is about
$40 short Of the estimated cost of
conducting the campaign but is
thought that the rest Of the money
will be raised by Wednesday one
contribution Of 50 was received.
