TALK NEW Lima
TOLEDO HIGHWAY
Agitation for Super Highway
Following Abandoned Elec-
tric Line
New Route Would Touch Col.
Grove, Leipsic, Ottawa
And Belm0re

Possibility that much of the
heavy traffic thru Bluffton over
U. S. Route 25, the Dixie highway,
may be shunted over new route
that would miss this city is seen in
the proposal to create new super
highway between Lima and Toledo
following the abandoned right-of-way
of the defuIct Cincinnati and Lake
Erie electric railway.
One of Ohio's busiest highways,
the Dixie at present is inadequate
as to width and general suitability
for the volume of traffic that fol-
lows the route.
For several years there has been
considerable agitation for improve
ment of the stretch of the Dixie
between Toledo and Lima. Some
work in widening has been completed
north of Bowling Green, but on the
whole most of the route remains too
narrow for a heavily travelled ar
terry.
BACKED BY CITIES
Cities on the route of the aban-
doned traction line have seized the
opportunity to suggest an entirely
new route be chosen between Lima
and Toledo in the hope that they
can bring the new super-roadway
thru their environs.
Among supporters of the move to
change the routing are Columbus
Grove, Leipsic, Ottawa, Belmore,
Waterville and sections of Toledo
and Lucas county.
The proposal already has been
presented to officials of the state
highway department at Columbus,
and further consideration has been
promised for the early part of jan
uary.
FOLLOW TRACTION LINE
Under the proposal, the new route
would be constructed from Toledo
