PROPOSE HIGHWAY
ALONG THE LAKE

Muskegon, Mich.-A stone high
way from Berrien county to the
Straits of Mackinac was the
scheme advocated recently be-
fore the supervisors of Muskegon
county, with the result that
action with a view to speedy
promotion of the enterprise will
be taken Immediately.
A committee will confer with
county clerks, supervisors and
other officials in every county
bordering on Lake Michigan
from Berrien to Emmett. 1t is
planned to hold a meeting OF
these officials in the fall, at
which time a permanent organ
ization will undoubtedly be per-
fected, and estimates made on the
proposed road.
Such thoroughfare would be
325 miles long, and would prove
a great boon to the many resorts
along the lake shore. Motor
parties from Indiana cities and
Chicago would have easy access
to Michigan resorts, with such q
highway.
