Profit Deniedroad Group Aims for Public Toll Projects
Evan Howell testified before an Illinois House committee that the National Turnpike Assn he leads exists to aid toll road programs not for private gain. He said it is “totally dead” since a Miami meeting in 1954, noted $4,800 in receipts with a $1,250 uncashed US Steel check, and a current $247 bank balance after expenses. Howell defended the Toll Road Act and the Toll Road Commission’s 193 miles of planned northern Illinois turnpikes financed by a $400 million bond issue, calling the studies for planning the most complete and sound of any state program.
