Michigan Road Notes. 



The Merchants' Association of Holland ha; 

 taken up the question of improving the roadi 

 leading into that city. The worst roads are 

 in Fillmore and Holland townships. 



Highway Commissioner Fred Chalkcr, ol 

 Ferry township, Oceana county, is about to 

 have his first experience in building a swamj 

 road. State Highway Commissioner Ely am 

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

 ship recently and gave Mr. Chalker som- 

 valuable pointers. 



At the township election in Indianfields 

 Tuscola county, one of the important thing 

 decided was the appropriating of $4,000 fo 

 the highway improvement fund. During th 

 past two years many of the public highway 

 in Indianfields have been greatly improve 

 and at the present time nearly all the road 

 leading to Caro are better than they hav 

 ever been. The above sum was raised on til 

 recommendation of the retiring highway con 

 missioner, and was carried without a dissent 

 iii' r voice. A. J. Beecher, who was electi' 

 highway commissioner, has several pieces ( 

 road in view that need immediate attention.

The Bay county road commission's 

 neer asks for appropriations of $2,000 

 the Quanicassee road; $3,000 for thr 

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

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

 road. He also recommends that the roai 

 constructed during the past two years 

 oiled. 



The Marquette county road commi 

 has staked out a line for the road whi 

 to be extended westward from the ci 

 Ishpeming. In most places it will folio 

 line of the old highway, although 

 curves of the old road will be avoided, 

 is a great amount of travel to the we 

 Ishpeming. The new mining properties i 

 direction necessitates much delivering of 

 and other supplies, and the trade will be 

 stantly increasing. There should be a 

 roadbed. The business demands it. Mr. Hi 

 yer, superintendent for the commission, 

 soon be at work on this important st 

 as well as upon several other less imp 

 pieces in this county.
