NOT UP TO SPECIFICATIONS. 



The Bay county stone road commission is 

 out just $2.000 which it expected to receive 

 from the state as a bounty for roads con- 

 structed during each season. The commission 

 has been paid $490 on a. portion of the work 

 done last year, but failed to get the $2.00!) 

 because the road for which it expected it would 

 be paid was not constructed according to spe- 

 cifications furnished by the state highway com- 

 missioner. It would have eost the commission 

 no more money to have put the road in proper 

 condition to have secured the bounty. 



GETS GOOD ROAD PRIZE. 

 The Menominee county road commissioner 

 has received a check for $702 from the state 

 road commissioner as a prize award for good 

 road work. The work was inspected by Com- 

 missioner Earle. The county commission will 

 use the money in building additional road- 

 ways. The commission has $19.000 worth of 

 road to construct the coming year. Meno- 

 minee county has been winning state prize* 

 regularly during the last several years 



At the annual meeting of the Reed's Lake 

 Avenue Toll Road Company, at Grand Rapids, 

 these officers were elected: President, William 

 H. Anderson: Vice-President. William Widdi- 

 comb; Secretary, Charles W. Garfield; Treas- 

 urer, Joseph Houseman, and attorney, Jacob 

 Kleinhaus. The only change was the election 

 of Mr. Whitcomb to succeed A. J. Daniels, de- 

 ceased. A dividend of 75 cents per share was 

 declared. The Division Street Toll Road Com- 

 pany, at its annual meeting, took steps to wind 

 up the company's affairs. By action of the 

 court the road was made an open road during 

 the past year.
