is beyond me. Your roads wherever |

England we have excellent roads, as in
other countries of Europe
Road building and road improve
ment are done through the township
unit system. Nearly every township
has one or more steam rollers. and the
cost of improving the roads or building
new ones is borne by the property
owners in proportion to the valuation
of their holdings Most of the modern
roads of England have a foundation of
brick-nOt of ordinary brick. but brick
of large size Upon this foundation are
placed several inches of soil and on
top of this soil blucstone. which is
ground into the soil by means Of the
steam rollers. This makes first class.

made by simply turning the turf and

There was a spirited discussion over

northern Michigan abounds, on ad

adopted after a long discussion. An

himself, through the papers, that, if
elected, he would vote for that candi-

approved We're these: Relative to pure

grange be instructed to work for rep
reSentation in the national grange
based on membership; that law
should be enacted restraining any
board of supervisors from granting
any franchise to any person or corpo-
ration to control the water power of
any stream in the state without COM
penSation. at the rate of 10 per cent on
the capital invested in said franchise
and at the rate of an increase of /
per cent each year thereafter.
The matter of organizing grange life
insurance was discussed ana referred
details and complete organization.
In the report of the committee on
forestry it was recommended that
there be an Increased extension Of the
farm wood lot and reforestation of
all lands not fit for farming. On good
roads the grange approved the state
aid policy. The committee on temper
ance presented recommendation that
all liquor and questionable amuse-
ments be barred from the state and
county fairs and that local option is
the best method of combating the
liquor traffic. The annual report of
the secretary of the State Patrons
Fire Insurance company was as fol
lows: The company now has 1868 pol
