Court Upnolds
Limited Access
Law On Highway

COLUMBUS, o., Up Atty.
Gen. c. William O'Neill said to-
day a court decision upholding
an Ohio limited access highway
law will 90 far in helping to
modernize the states road sys-
tenn.
Common Pleas Judge A. v.
Baumann of Sandusky County
gave the decision.
Property owners on u. S. Route
20 between Fremont and Clyde
had requested the court to pre-
vent the State Highway Depart
ment from creating a. five and
three-quarter mile limited access
stretch of road. A limited access
highway reduces the number of
crossings and accesses TO the
route. O'Neill said accidents are
greatly reduced and traffic speed
ed up by stretches of limited ac-
cess roads.
Judge Baumann upheld consti-
tutionality of the limited access
highway statute. Property owners
contended the law unjustly del
egated legislative power to the
highway director and that it was
not of uniform application.
Judge Baumann overuled both
contentious.
Assistant Attorney General
Everett Fl. Kruger of Cleveland
submitted a brief with the court
on the validity Of the law.
Similar actions are pending in
common pleas courts of Franklin,
Madison and Muskingum counties.
The highway director has designa-
ted various sections of route 40
in those counties as limited ac-
cess highways.
