TIE FIRST MADE Road
out OF Chicago was the so~callol Archer Road
! beul5, at ths end, the Archer avouuo OF this
time. This road was made in 1886, for the pur-
pose OF facilitating the work upon the caual. and
commencing at tho road running south, which
Is nov State street, followed the sslne line it
! Low does, southwest to Canalpott, or Bridgeport,
than parallel with the Canal to the Summit
Level Level This road WAS Of great nervice to the
Gen. Archer, one OF tho enterprlsing Canal Com
missioners who projected it. This was the only
worked roadway out OF Chicago for many years.
But it only served for a small portion Of the

place in some reminiscauos Of the West. He
heard the farmers who stopped at tho
Ohio House lament the great difficulty they had
to encounter with the mud in getting into the
city. ButterieId WAS believer in enterprise.
He supposed all that would be required to make
q good road over the wet prairie wRs to turnpike
it, build up high road above the water, Tith
deep side guttors; and that the traffic would
Ia time pack it into hard, durable road.

american, calling meeting Of people from the
country and citizens of tho town, interested in
having good roads in and out Of the city, to
assemble Ct tho Court House At
