MeMILLAN ESTATE. 
UNION TRUST BUILDING. 
DETROIT, MICH. 
Philip Tl. MeMillan, Trustee. 
George M. Black, Secretary. 
May 14, 1910. 
Editor of North Shore Breeze, 
‘Dear Sir: Since the proposed 
roadway between Beach street and 
Sea street is under consideration by 
the citizens of Manchester, I desire 
on behalf of the McMillan estate to 
urge through your columns that the 
proposed way should not be under- 
taken at the present time. We do 
- not desire to object to any necessary 
town improvements, and this estate, 
through its taxes, contributes to 
such improvements. We are glad to 
do it so far as reasonable. 
The proposed new street is one 
that would affect the MeMillan prop- 
erty as much as any other property 
in Manchéster. After consultation 
with Mrs. McMillan and considera- 
tion of this matter, we believe that 
_ the proposed way 
would tend 
change the character of the ‘‘ Neck’’ 
On account of the large 
- investments there, this change might 
be deplorable. 
that twenty years ago this matter 
We are informed 
was considered and the voters of the 
town refused to lay out the road. 
Since that time the value of the 
‘property at the ‘‘Neck’’ without the 
road has increased. 
_ The MeMillan estate would strong- 
ly prefer not to have the new road- 
“way. While direct communication 
with the station might be facilitated 
by the new roadway, yet it is ob- 
Vious that practically all persons 
travelling to the ‘‘Neck’’ would be 
obliged to use, even with the new 
' road, also the existing road through

‘has been the policy of Manchester to 
“protect her property owners in the 
suse of their property, and not to

building, like everything 
else at the present time, is expensive. 
In the interests of the tax payers of 
which our estate is 
among the 
largest, we believe the citizens of 
Manchester should save this money 
and not build a roadway which is

Pop Concert in Manchester Next Wednesday to Raise Fund to Establish 
District Nurse Here. 
At the Manchester Town hall next 
Wednesday evening a Pop Concert 
will be held under the auspices of 
the Manchester Woman’s club, the 
object being to raise funds looking 
towards the establishing of a Dis- 
trict Nurse in the town. 
It is hoped that all lovers of good 
music, and those interested in this 
very worthy move, will freely pa- 
tronize the concert. The nurse, it 
must be understood, is to be at the 
service of all townspeople, and by 
no means confined to the Woman’s 
club. The club is simply heading 
the movement to establish a nurse, 
or nurses, here. 
Refreshments at reasonable prices 
will be served by members of the 
Club. There are no obligations in 
the matter of refreshments, as much 
or little may be purchased as de- 
sired. It is hoped that all will come 
and enjoy a pleasant evening and at 
the same time have the satisfaction 
of aiding a good cause.

A “‘Saner Fourth’’ Program Being 
Arranged for Manchester. 
The Manchester Fourth of July 
committee met Wednesday evening 
at the Town hall and organized. A 
program that ought to be of general 
interest to the public was tentatively 
agreed upon. The committee organ- 
ized with Frank G. Cheever as chair- 
man and Albert Cunningham © as 
secretary. In brief, the program as 
outlined includes a ‘‘horrible  pa- 
rade’’ in the early morning, followed 
by sports, ete. There probably will 
be a band concert in the afternoon 
and a general outing will be held at 
Singing Beach. In the evening there 
will be a band concert on the com- 
mon and an illumination of the inner 
harbor. 
The committee this year is en- 
deavoring to formulate a program 
and have the day celebrated in Man- 
chester in line with movement for a 
“Saner Fourth,’? which is making 
so much headway throughout the 
country and toward which legisla- 
tion is being enacted at the State 
House this year. The purpose of 
this movement is to do away with 
much of the noise and dangerous ex- 
plosives and to bring about a more 
wholesome celebration of this great 
national holiday. 
The horrible parade ought to be 
a popular attraction. It will be held 
in the early morning. The people 
should begin to plan thus early on 
making this feature of the day’s 
celebration a great success. The sub- 
committee on this is Walter R. Bell 
and Hollis L. Roberts. Louis O. a- 
tions and John 8. Scott compose the 
sub-committee on sports. More in- 
formation as to the plans of the 
committee will be given from week 
to week in brief,
