Handley Opposes Toll Highway Reimbursement Move
Gov. Harold W. Handley of Indiana said he would oppose a Governors Conference resolution urging federal reimbursement to states for toll roads in the interstate system. He warned reimbursement would drain the federal treasury as 90 percent of interstate funding comes from federal money. The 156 mile northern Indiana toll road is among designated toll roads. Handley noted the toll road was built to be paid by users and Indiana should fulfill that agreement. Illinois Gov. William G. Stratton named Handley to a six member nominating committee.
