Decatur, Aug. 15.-The state highway commission has marked state road number 21, over North Fifth street to the detour or river road, now used while the Fort Wayne-Decatur road is closed for construction. Heretofore, the road was marked on North Second street then north to the Fort Wayne road.
The understanding given members of the better roads committee of the Decatur Industrial Association was that the route would be marked down North Second street following the completion of the Fort Wayne road and that after South Winchester street was repaired the state highway commission would also mark this road through Decatur, as the connecting link with the road between this city and Fort Wayne. The new markings were placed on the telephone posts along North Fifth street this week and since that time traffic has been routed that way.
