BIG GOOD ROADS PROJECT. 



A public improvement which will be of 

 (erable importance is being projected 

 and has every prospect of being brought to a 

 successful issue. It is a direct automobile road 

 from Alpena to Bay City. Auto owners are 

 backing the project, but a road which is good 

 for autos is also of advantage to farmers, truck 

 growers, suburban residents and others resid- 

 ing outside the limits of the cities, and all are 

 expected to advance the project with money. 

 labor or any other way. 



Thos. X. Goodburne. of Alpena. has been 

 engaged to start the matter going and will 

 .- his entire time to the project. Outside

 autoists and farmers. The supervisors, road 

 commissioners and highway commissioners in 

 the various counties along the route .will be 

 asked to help along. 



The proposed road will be about 125 miles' 

 long.
