STATE Of INDIANA To
FORWARD LINCOLN
HIGHWAY IMPROVE MENT

INDIANAPOLIS. IND. Aug. 21,-Fol-
lowing meeting of the newly-created
State Highway Commission OF Indiana
al Indianapolis, announcement is made
of a plan to hasten the improvement of
the four main, through. connecting
highways of the state at the earliest
possible moment One Of the roads will
run north and south through the center
Of the state and the other three will
cross the state from east to west
The Lincoln II ghway has been select
ed as the main road in northern Indi-
ana to beneht through the efforts of the
commission. Previous improvements on
this transcontinental route in Indiana
have been made locally by the counties
in practically all instances and so great
has been the interest in the Lincoln
Highway that wonders have been ac-
complished in the way of road better
ment. Indiana has more miles of new
laid concrete on the Lincoln Highway
than any other state crossed from the
Atlantic 70 the Pacific.
With the aid Of the State Highway
Commission it is probable that the few
remaining miles Of bad going will soon
be eliminated.
