Indianapolis Avenue Improvement Planned Across State Line
Plans by the state highway department outline widening Indianapolis Avenue from the Illinois border through Whiting to Calumet, with the road becoming 80 feet wide including a drive on the side of tracks. The project spans about 1.4 miles and 0.75 miles segments, adding concrete bases and brick surfaces. Two driveways and 11 to 14 foot lanes are described, though delays arise from streetcar company and railway commission disagreements.

Balloon tires prove highly satisfactory says Reo engineer
H T Thomas vice-president and chief engineer of Reo states balloon tires have withstood thousands of miles and show higher average mileage than high pressure tires. He notes safety and comfort, reduced blowouts, and that fuel use stays similar, with no extra gasoline needed for smoother driving. He adds balloon tires suit ordinary speeds up to 55 60 mph and emphasize practical value over racing.
