cipal services are held in the morning

Employment for from fifty TO one

Improvement project approved at last

The program of repairs and changes
has not been definitely mapped out,
but il is likely it will include work ON
section of the road frequently petit
toned for running from near the one
co mine location to Calumet, and tap
ping rich farming district. This pro-
posed Improvement passed through
four townships, Calumet, Schoolcraft
Torch Lake and Osccola, the greater
part of the distance being i'm the latter
township. Although the highway is
quite generally recognized as a desir-
able one, the difficulty of securing the
-four townships To act in unison has
heretofore prevented actual work from
being undertaken. Calumet township
has long been willing To do its share,
in fact has made advances to the other
townships along this line. 1t is felt
that the completion of the portion of
the road which passes through Osceola
township, will he met with similar ac-
tiCn by the other townships this fall.
Steps probably will be taken at once
to secure the right of way for the
highway and To gather together the
