Hall. Wednesday afternoon and en-
Enthusiastically discussed the Good
Roads problem. w. II. Bennett was
elected chairman OF the meeting and
ii. l.. Winters secretary. A COM
mittee was appointed to canvas South
Arm, Echo and Wilson townships
with a view of receiving large at
tendance at meeting to be held at
the Town Hall. East Jordan, Sat-,
Dec. 18th, at loo p. M.
In the discussion, Frank Severance,
supervisor of Jordan township, an
nounced that they had made appli-
cation for State aid for one mile Of
first-class road extending TO the Char
leyoix County line.
Figures were presented showing
that solid stone road costs the
people but little more than the
cheaper road, on account Of the larger
bounty paid by the state, and this is
the class OF roads that will be built in
South Arm township.
Wilson township was not represent
ed, much 10 the regret Of the meeting,
as South Arm township desires to
build one mile Of road leading toward
that territory.
