Earlville mayor fights to keep old Primary 20 route
In Earlville Indiana Mayor H J Vanfleer petitions for a temporary restraining order to block the state highway commission from rerouting Primary 20. The suit claims the commission lacks authority over streets within the town limits and seeks to halt condemnation or right of way purchases for a northern diversion through the business section.Observers expect the paving to proceed to the disputed section and resume east of town, with further action contingent on future legislation or council permission.
