"Roseland is known as 'The Gateway Town'"

The claim: the reference record (Wikipedia, Roseland, Indiana), lead. The test: Pass R-2

The claim, as carried: "Roseland is known as 'The Gateway Town', on account of its location at the Notre Dame/South Bend exit of the Indiana Toll Road (Interstate 80/90)." Tested: the sentence is the reference article's own — an earlier form of the same passage said only that the town was "located at the Notre Dame/South Bend exit of the Indiana Toll Road… making it a good location for many restaurants, hotels and gasoline stations," and the "known as" styling replaced it; every other reached carrier using the phrase reproduces the article's text verbatim, copies rather than corroboration. No town website, town-code, signage or chamber carrier styling the town so was reached. What the town's own record does prove is a sign without a text: the code's index lists a "Roseland Town Welcome Sign Fund, 35.04," and the State Board of Accounts' 2010 examination carries a "Town Welcome Sign" fund line of $10 — neither states what the sign says. Verdict: "The Gateway Town" is a reference-record style, not proven as a town-adopted motto on the carriers reached; it prints as the reference record's claim, with the welcome sign's wording standing as the settler that would raise it. (A caution rides with it: Rosedale, Indiana, in Parke County, styles itself "the gateway to the famous Covered Bridge Festival" on its own town site — that gateway is Rosedale's, and the two are never merged.)
