INDIANA ROADS
The Indiana highway weather report on the condition of Indiana roads for the week ending Dec. 5 says:
Indianapolis-Ft. Wayne road, excellent; road to Lawrence city, fair to Pendleton, good to Alexandria, but Pendleton pike a little rough; Marion-Huntington-Ft. Wayne, fair to good, but chucky first five miles out of Marion.
Dixie short line to Cincinnati: Fair road, Indianapolis through Arlington to Rushville; poor and muddy between Metamora and Brookville, with two miles very poor, but passable; good Brookville to Cedar Grove, and fair beyond to Harrison. Bad spots in low places beyond New Trenton, but no detours.

State Highways
In Bad Condition
Flood waters and constant patrol to prevent heavy loads on state highways, made soft by recent rains and thaws, constituted the chief maintenance problems of the State Highway Commission today.
A traffic report showed that northern roads were free of snow and traffic is moving, but roads are slippery in places.
Virtually all grave and stone surfaces in central and southern Indiana are soft and subject to severe damage if load limits are not enforced.
Route 1 open to light traffic only between Brookville and Connersville.
