The work of graveling the Madison
Lake road has begun. The village of
Eagle Lake has put on gravel from the
settled portion to the eastern corporate
limits, and expects to extend this to
the western limits. The village of
Madison Lake has gravelcd the road
from the business section as far as
the lake shore by the beaver dam.
Gravel has been dragged up in piles on
the lake shore along the beaver dam,
ready to be hauled onto the road from
the Lamm and Hohmann cottages south
to the Bornccke farm. The farmers
have been too busy hiIsking to begin
hauling gravel, but George w. Allyn, who
is one of those in charge of the fund
raised by the villagers and cottagers on
Point Pleasant, proposes to start the
work at once, with transfers.
This is Il good time to haul gravel,
while the roads are good and it can
be placed where wanted. When it is
hauled in winter and placed upon the
snow the road does not thaw and dry
out until late in the spring. 1t is
hoped that the work of graveling the
Madison Lake road will be pushed until
every foot of it has been grayeled be-
tween this city and Madison Lake.
