In Erie Pa Industries on the West Side dropped formal opposition to a spur route that would connect 12th Street to 26th Street, clearing a main obstacle to the Erie Pittsburgh Freeway. About 150 people attended a public meeting in the county courthouse as DeWitt Bull of Lakeview Forge and Zurn Industries indicated acceptance or reluctant approval. City and state officials noted the plan includes an overpass to service Zurn property, with work potentially starting promptly subject to final approvals. The dispute has persisted since a November 1960 meeting where similar objections were raised.
