of a faulty road or bridge have decided to get themselves some extra insur ance A $12500 appropriation for ex tra insurance premiums was approved by the County Coun cil It will give the county $300 000 basic coverage against suits arising from road or bridge con ditions and $1 million worth of coverage The commissioners had sim ilar insurance a few years ago but dropped it after deciding it necessary But last year a plaintiff in Shelby County suc cessfully sued the commission ers there because of an accident on a county road That court action changed the local minds and they asked for the new cov erage Another factor in their deci sion was an $1800 suit brought against them last month in Tip pecanoe Circuit Court It was filed by a man who said his son wrecked the family car at an unmarked intersection near Stockwell Although the suit was only for damage to the car the commis sioners are afraid they might someday be sued by a driver in jured on a county road or bridge The vote for the extra pre miums was 5 1 with Coun cilman A Reser op posing the move because he feared it might lead to a series of new insurance policies Another item that passed the council was $7650 for the Area Plan Commission to move its transportation and development study office out of the Court house It will cover rent at a new downtown location plus equipment and supplies the rest qf this year The county will be reim bursed the full amount by the State Highway Department ac cording to Area director Joseph letcher Another $6000 was approved for the airfield Township As sessor who wants money to

superhighway Iso lation apparently have borne of ficial fruit and the Lafayette area may be a beneficiary of the backwash Wednesday developments re lated to campaign ing brought the possibility that work might begin within six months on a road that would ei ther follow the US 41 route through the Lafayette area or would come directly to Lafay ette from Evansville developments stemmed from a news confer ence called by Lt Gov Richard olz of Evansville to an nounce the appointment of State Treasurer John Snyder to conduct a survey of southern In highway needs Snyder was at the news conference A superhighway link between Lafayette and Evansville has long been in the minds of area and state planners One of the strongest plugs for such a route came something like five years ago when Gov Matthew Welsh was winding up his term as governor and presented end review of highway needs At that time Gov Welsh spoke strongly for the need of extending the federal interstate highway program beyond its 1971 termination And he said if the program were extended Indiana should list the Lafayette Evansville route as perhaps its first choice for an interstate highway That stimulated business and political figure in Evansville to organize a campaign for such a road and the group succeeded at one point in getting an engi neering survey made to deter mine the feasibility of making such a route a toll road But nothing ever came of that engineering study Even Kentucky has been in the act calling for extending any superhighway on south from Evansville to link with perhighways in the heart Kentucky CAMPAIGN PROMISE In last campaigning one of the most frequent campaign assertions made by governor candidate Edgar Whitcomb was that such a highway was needed and would be high on the list of his intentions if he were elected Whitcomb was elected and developments apparent ly are implementation of his campaign declarations At press confer ence olz said that Snyder who lives in Washington

sitting there overlooking the Ohio Turnpike The trouble is the cars which once rolled along with the famed Wabash Cannonball train go anyplace There are no tracks The once plush parlor cars have been converted into offices of the General Insurance Ex change Agency Inc and sit forlornly along an abandoned right of way of the Lake Erie Pittsburgh Railroad One car has been partially re stored with red velvet curtains and soft reclining seats The cars offer a bit of nos talgia and history of the famous train now romanticized in song But village officials are un swayed They think the cars are an eyesore The officials of this Akron suburb have filed suit against the insurance company to re move them They claim the cars violate local zoning laws and state building codes But says Lewis Richardson a president cars were once part of the Wa bash Cannonball train They have great histori cal think we are within our he adds offi cials say we violated the law because we had no building per

coaches came on the scene last October after Rich ardson and James Tetreault purchased them from the Nbr folk Western Railroad The 1 siding was then abandoned and the tracks tom up The suit says the
