West Main Street Expansion Plans Move Forward
The state highway department advances the widening of West Main Street, purchasing the M. E. parsonage, Wallandingham properties, and land from Otto Becker to create a 90 foot thoroughfare with sidewalks and a central street car line. Becker gains two buildings, which he plans to relocate, and local property reconfigurations follow, including new driveways and a private north bank access. Cambridge City residents await the completed work as contracts for widening U.S.40 through Straughn and Lewisville are let, with rapid progress on Greenfield to Indianapolis and several paving and grading projects moving ahead this year and next.
