Ohio splits highway project to speed Route 50 work
The Ohio Department of Transportation will split the Route 50 construction between Richland Avenue and Stimson Avenue, aiming to start the first section in June and finish both by late 1976. The plan shifts about 11.8 million dollars for the first segment and nearly 10 million for the remainder, with city cost for Route 682 extension at 140 400 dollars. Mayor Donald Barrett and councilman Joe Johnson attended the briefing with Max R. Farley, deputy district highway director, who cited right of way challenges and ARC funding as justification.

Bankers warn of worst peacetime inflation and high rates
Washington AP three Federal Reserve bank presidents told the House Banking Committee that inflation is dangerously high and would require steep spending cuts and tighter money. They warned rates above 12 percent will persist, widening unemployment and hurting the poor while big business can pass costs to consumers. They endorsed cutting government spending and reducing the next year’s deficit by about 2 percent.

Ohio Contractors Likely To Sue For Road Funds
The Ohio Contractors Association plans to sue the state to reclaim about 10 million dollars annually in interest earned on highway revenues. Exeutive vice president Karl L. Rothermund Jr says a letter to Gov. Gilligan requests an administrative transfer of funds, with a negative reply seen as opening a court case. The group argues highway money should fund transportation, not the general fund, under constitutional provisions.
