MILLER TOWN BOARD
HOLDS A NEE TING
Many Improvements Are
Suggested by Progress
sive Trustees.

Many big Improvement projects were
taken up by the town board of Miller
last night. They include the follow
ing declaratory resolutions:
Widening of Michigan street to 40
feet
Widening of Lake boulevard.
Widening of Aetna avenue to SO feet.
Widening of Douglas avenue (Porter-
Lake county line street).
In addition to this the assessment
roll of Grand boulevard. Miller s
Broadway, was passed. This one hun
dred foot thoroughfare will run from
the center of the town to the lake
front. 1t is planned to make the high
way as brilliant as Gary's Broadway as
electric lights will be placed every fifty
feet.
Having a lake front terminus and
being one hundred feet wide the boule-
bard will in time be the finest resi-
dental street in Lake county. The trus-
tees are anticipating Gary's growth and
intend to make Grand boulevard a
marvel of beauty by the generous use
of trees, grass and shrubs.

tions. but it is believed that the coun-
sci of the majority of the membership
will prevail and that other athletic
events will be substituted
