Mr.. Allison pointed out that
the present airport, its land,

provided without cost to the tax
payers of the county. The bill,
he said, has been footed entirely
by local industry.

Seek Three
lnterchanges
Here On Rt Is
Businessmen Reactivate
Highway Committee With
Paul Diller At Helm

The state highway department
will be asked to provide three
interchanges in the Bluffton area
on State Route 25 when the high
way is completed by the addition
of two more traffic lanes.
Deciding to press for adequate
access to the highway when it
is completed, the Bluffton Busi-
ness Mems association has reac-
tivated its highway committee.
Paul Diller, who served on the
committee several years ago
when the highway bypass was
being planned and who worked
successfully for rebuilding the
Grove street bridge, has been
named chairman of the commit
tee.
Others serving with Mr.. Diller
will be Arrnin Hauenstein, Her
bert Conrad, Clayton Bixel and
Clyde Warren.
At a recent meeting of the Bus
iness Mems association, Walter
Gratz, former chairman of the
highway and bridge committee,
reported that the committee had
been advised that at best Bluff
ton can expect only two inter-
changes. One will be at State
Route 103 intersection. The Sec
ond might be either the County
Line road, Bentley road or Gratz
crossing intersections.
The association will press for
all three interchanges, and will
study the effects any proposed
roadway cut-offs will have on the
community. Most of the biSecting
roads will pass over the highway
when it is completed.
