Michigan Road Notes. 



The Merchants' Association of Holland has 

 taken up the question of improving the roads 

 leading into that city. The worst roads are 



in Fillmore and Holland townships. 







Highway Commissioner Fred Chalker, of 

 Ferry township, Oceana county, is about to 

 have his first experience in building a swamp 

 road. State Highway Commissioner Ely and 

 Deputy F. F. Rogers paid a visit to the town- 

 ship recently and gave Mr. Chalker some 

 valuable pointers. 



At the township election in Indianfields, 

 Tuscola county, one of the important things 

 decided was the appropriating of $4,000 for ; 

 the highway improvement fund. During the 

 past two years many of the public highways 

 in Indianfields have been greatly improved 

 and at the present time nearly all the roads 

 leading to Caro are better than they have 

 ever been. The above sum was raised on the i 

 recommendation of the retiring highway com- 

 missioner, and was carried without a dissent- i 

 in^ voice. A. J. Beecher, who was elected 

 highway commissioner, has several pieces of 

 road in view that need immediate attention. 



The Bay county road commission's engi- 

 neer asks for appropriations of $2,000 for 

 the Quanicassee road; $8,000 for the Beaver 

 road; $1,500 for the Salzburg road; $2,500 for 

 the Merritt road, and $1,500 for the Linwood 

 road. He also recommends that the roads 

 constructed during the past two years be 

 oiled. 



The Marquette county road commission 

 has staked out a line for the road which is 

 to be extended westward from the city of 

 Ishpeming. In most places it will follow the 

 line of the old highway, although many 

 curves of the old road will be avoided. There 

 is a great amount of travel to the west of 

 Ishpeming. The new mining properties in that 

 direction necessitates much delivering of mine 

 and other supplies, and the trade will be con- 

 stantly increasing. There should be a good 

 roadbed. The business demands it. Mr. Hill- 

 yer, superintendent for the commission, will 

 soon be at work on this important stretch 

 as well as upon several other less important 

 pieces in this county. 



Wm. J. Nadeau, John Herrick and Aaron 

 Amon are the members of the committee on 

 county roads of the Mecosta county board of 

 supervisors. 



South Haven township, Van Buren county, 

 will raise this "ear for highway purposes one- 

 half of one per cent each for the highway 

 improvement and the road repair funds. 

 Based on the present valuation, this tax will 

 yield $2,305.25 for each fund, which was the 

 amount raised last year for the road repair 

 fund. The expenditures from each fund are 

 under the direction of the township board, 

 with the highway commissioner acting in an 

 advisory capacity.
