 (iarlicld, Paris township; Robert Graham,

 zenga, Wyoming. Mr. Thompson was elected 

 chairman. 



The commission will have some $20,000 

 available for work next spring. 



The following roads are recommended for 

 improvement and the amounts to be spent on 

 them: 



West Leonard street, west from city limits 

 to Zinser's school house, amount $1,750.

BIG GOOD ROADS PROJECT. 



A public improvement which will be of 

 considerable 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 

 hacking 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 

 cted to advance the project with money. 

 labor or any other way. 



Thos. N. Goodburne, of Alpena, has been 

 engaged to start the matter going and will 

 dr\nte his entire time to the project. Outside 

 of Alpena county many of the roads between 

 Alpena city and Bay City are poor, both for 

 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. 



MENOMINEE COUNTY ROADS. 



According to the plans of the Mcnominee 

 county road commissioners, next year will 

 witness great activity in rebuilding and repair- 

 ing the leading arteries of travel throughout 

 Mcnominee county. 



A tax of $:? on each $1,000 of assessed prop 

 crty will bring the county road tax for the 

 enduing year up lo about $20,000. and as there 

 are three miles of macadam road to be built, 

 the county will receive a state reward of sev- 

 eral thousand dollars. The board of commis- 

 sioners has passed a resolution re-adopting all 

 county roads that were abandoned by the coun- 

 ty two years ago and again making them part 

 of the county road system. The -nnen :
