Good Roads for Hoosier State Provisions of New Law
Indiana creates a four member state highway commission appointed by the governor to oversee highway construction. The plan funds main market highways with state and federal support, counties share half the cost, and a state highway engineer and assistants are named. Governor Goodrich signs much legislation but declines the medical school bill and Corydon capitol purchase, while urging fiscal reform and continued tax reform debates.
