Hartke Protests Bridge Plan in Wabash River Corridor
Sen Vance Hartke of Indiana petitions the Army Corps of Engineers for a hearing on a railroad bridge project over the Wabash River near Iverton Indiana. He argues the fixed span could obstruct river traffic and seeks long range planning to avoid economic damage. The Corps notes the existing draw span has not opened. In a separate item, dentist incomes rise 83 percent since 1929 with doctors up 157 percent in the same period.
