Fair Shape; Open Rogers
Bridge.

Marking of State Rd. 43, between
Lafayette and Michigan City, has
been completed, according to the
weekly bulletin of the State high
way department, issued today. Guide

bridge at Rogers on State Rd. ST.
This eliminates the ferry across
White River and two miles Of earth
