Turnpike Chief Defends Illinois Toll Road Program
Evan J. Howell, head of the National Turnpike Assn., testifies before an Illinois House committee that the national group was not formed for private gain and has been inactive since a Florida meeting in 1954. He notes $4,200 in receipts, a $1,250 United States Steel Corp. check that was never cashed, and a current bank balance of $7,247 after expenses. Howell defends the Toll Road Act and Illinois plan to build 193 miles of turnpikes funded by a $400 million bond issue, saying studies make the program soundest in the state.
