KALAMAZOO COUNTY. 



One of the hardest stretches of road to 

 mid in Kalamazoo county was started under 

 the direction of United States Commissioner 

 George D. Marshall. The road is situated one 

 mile east of Schoolcraft, known as the Lost 

 Island School district. The road is sunken 

 d in many months of the year it overflows 

 with water, making travel almost impossible

MICHIGAN ROAD NOTES. 



Brookfield township, Eaton county, will put 

 a lot of work on the highways that traverse 

 that township ths season. It Vvas voted at the 

 last election to expend $5,000 for road im- 

 provements in Brookfield and a considerable 

 portion of the sum will be laid out in buildng 

 road's on the state reward system. 



The taxpayers of Athens township, Calhcun 

 county, have voted to build one mile of state, 

 reward road this year. 



The good road proposition in Richfield 

 township, Roscommon county, was carried at 

 the special election held in that township by 

 a vote of 69 for and seven against. It is con- 

 templated to start a gravel road at the corner 

 of H. C. Newton's farm on the county line* 

 and run three and a half miles south, then two 

 miles east to the DeLamater school house, 

 then south through the village of St. Helen 31 

 distance of ten and a half miles, then west 

 four miles to the township line between Rich- 

 field and Backus township. This road will be 

 of great benefit both to the present residents 

 of the township and will also make a trunk 

 road nearly the whole distance through the 

 county. 



A new road that will be of great conven- 

 ience to residents of Lansing as well as East 

 Lansing has been opened up in the C:lumbia 

 park addition connecting Franklin avenue with 

 Michigan. The new road is an extension of 

 Fairview avenue. 



The Solid Rock Construction Company of 

 Escanaba has been awarded the contract for 

 building a piece of macadam road within the 

 city limits of Gladstone, by the Gladstone 

 council. The new stretch of road will be from 

 the top to the bottom of the hill on the Bay 

 Shore road entering the city of Gladstone, 

 where the course of the right of way was 

 changed last summer. The work will be unr 

 dertaken as soon as possible and completed 

 early in the season that the Bay Shore drive 

 between Escanaba and Gladstone may in no 

 wav be impaired. 



Gus Fredeen, who has the contract to build 

 the Marquette county section of the highway 

 connecting Dickinson and Marquette counties, 

 has established' a camp about a mile south of 

 Witch Lake and has started the work of cut- 

 ting out the right of way. He has assembled 

 a large plant of road-making machinery. The 

 road has been staked out from the Michi- 

 gamme river to Witbeck. Mr. Fredeen fully 

 expects to complete his work before the time 

 limit, July 15. John Blomgren of Norway, 

 who has the contract to build the Dickinson 

 county section, from Sawyer Lake to the Mich- 

 igamme river, will establish his camps in the 

 vicinity of Floodwood and work north and 

 south. His contract is considerably larger 

 than Fredeen's and he will work more men 

 and teams. The bridge company is also pre- 

 paring to commence work at an early date. 

 The bridge will be built a short distance east 

 of the St. Paul railway bridge. It will be 

 constructed of concrete and contain two spans 

 of 45 feet each.,. ... ,. . .. ,: .
