Massive Toll Road Scheme Emerges in Indianapolis Case
A sweeping legal battle uncovers a high level scheme to control the Allisonville road tolls. The dispute traces land transfers from the Reagan family to the Brace family, a hedge line, and a slough route adjusted to avoid a field. The issue centers on a 19th century compromise and later acts allowing counties to purchase toll roads, with the street railway company implicated in covert ownership shifts and toll collections.
