FIND MICHIGAN METHODS BEST
Members of the Party Are deliberately
Entertained and Given Chance to Get
Much Information in Regard to
Roads and Road Building.

Tired and over-fed but not footsore
the junketing party of the county
board returned home on Sunday after
9 two days inspection Of the con-
crete roads in Wayne county, Mich,
and the report of the trip as made by
the members of the party gives indi-
cation that this was the one big trip
pulled off in years for officials of the
county Every one of the party of
six who went to Detroit as guests of
the Universal Portland Cement Com
pany arrived home safe and sound but
there was an increased demand for
indigestion remedies this morning fol
lowing the lavish entertainment that
the men had gone through during the
three days.
1t was real party that the Univer-
sal people. gave to convince the coun-
ty solons that concrete roads were the
proper thing. Travelling in special
Pullmans and being whirled over all
the territory of Wayne county in the
highest powered automobiles that
could be found, it can be said that
the solons feet never touched terra
frma until they got back into Keno
sha. The Universal did the right
thing. From the time the members of
the party including Chairman John T.
Yule, A. ]. Burg, John Herzog, P. H.
Tobin, County Clerk Jones and Con-
tractor George R. Wade and County
Highway Commissioner Mcclellan
struck Chicago they were guests and
guests right. Friday night a dinner
in their honor was served at the States
restaurant with an informal buffet
luncheon following after which they
were the guests of The company at a
box party at the Colonial theatre.
Another buffet luncheon followed be-
fore the members of the party took
the special Pullman for Detroit over
the Michigan Central road. Arriving
at Detroit early Saturday morning
the members of the party were loaded
in automobiles and taken to the Point
chartrain hotel where a buffet break
fast was served after which the in
speetion began. Miles of road under
construction were inspected by the
Kenosha visitors after which they re-
turned to the Pontchartrain for lunch
con and in the afternoon there was a
ride over the famous Grande River
and Woodward avenue roads said to
be the finest concrete roads in the
world. Tired and weary the officials
got back to the hotel just in time for
a ten course dinner.
Late Saturday evening the special
Pullman pulled out of Detroit for Chi
cago. Following the arrival in Chi
cago there was breakfast at the Bos-
ton Oyster House after which the SOL
ons left for Kenosha.
eve gained lot of valuable infor-
nation in regard to concrete roads"
said Commissioner Mcclellan this
morning. The Detroit officials showed
us every courtesy and am sure that
the trip over the roads of Wayne coun-
ty will aid materially in bringing
better road building for Kenosha
county. The work in Wayne county
is reduced to a real system and the
roads are built and maintained in the
right manner"
It should be said that Chairman
John 7. Yuie was the real martyr of
the official party and notwithstanding
his four score years he stood the rath-
err strenuous trip better than any of |
