Road Leaders from Milwaukee, Racine,
Kenosha and Smaller Towns Agree on
Plans Which May Bring Completion
of the Concrete Road.

That great progress is being made in
the plans for permanent highway
along the lake shore from Milwaukee
to Chicago and intermediate communi-
ties and cities, was the substance of
reports made at meeting of sub-chair-
men of the executive committee of the
Sheridan Road Improvement associa-
ton, at the Hotel Pfister on Tuesday
The meeting was most enthusiastic
one and the report, as formulated at
the meeting, will be submitted to the
executive committee of thirty, of which
George A. West of Milwaukee, is chair
man.
Ray Smith, president of the assecia-
ton, presided at the meeting. In his
report he told of the aim of the as
ISOLATION, its plan to bring the project
before the people in a way to empha-
size the need of such a continuous
highway along the lake, and the sup
port that is being pledged from all
places adjacent to the highway, espe-
cially in the larger cities. The report
by Secretary w. i. Hamilton told of
Sheridan Road Improvement associa-
ton Of Illinois, in Chicago, and the
cooperation that could be expected
from that source. W. E. Reese, treas
urer reported a rapidly growing mem
bership, with more than 600 already
enrolled.
One plau tbet will take effect with

ing road officials of Racine, Kenosha,
Cudahy and South Milwaukee to make
a tour Of the roads in Milwaukee coun-
ty, after which there will be a dis
cussion and banquet.
George A. West told of Milwaukee
county's contribution toward the splen-
did highway and warmly eulogized the
county board and Highway Commits
sioner H. J.. Kuelling for efforts toward
making Milwaukee county pre-eminent
in the United States and a leader in
permanent mileage. He said that the
estimated length of the section of the
Sheridan Road in Milwaukee county is
about ten miles. Of this more than
eight miles are of concrete with an es-
timated cost Of about $4,000 a mile.
cit can be asserted that Milwaukee
county has nearly complete stretch
Of concrete to the county line,' said
Wr. West, and there is little non-per-
manent highway. This work has cost
about $4,000 and very little work re-
maines to be done Milwaukee county
is to be congratulated on the efficiency
of the members of the county board
and its highway commissioner
Walter H. Reid, secretary Of the Ra-
cine Commercial club, made an an
nouncement of great Importance. The
town of Caledonia has raised $1,000
for the Improvement of three and one
half miles between Lamberton and Ra-
cine The new stretch will be oiled

spring. The sum of $1,000 will be
raised by Racine good roads enthus-
lasts before Nov 9, and with $4,000
on hand, the state will contribute
pleted it will eliminate a very bad
stretch. There is still remaining one
mile from the Milwaukee county, line
south and this will be kept in condi-
ton by the Racine Motor club until
enough money is raised to continue the
permanent improvement. A committee
of five of Racine's leading citizens will
assist Mr.. Reid in charging the mem
bership in the Sheridan Road associa-
ton.

roseate character Arrangements have
Just been completed in South Milwau-
kee to complete the two blocks just
south of Marion avenue, according to
Mayor Charles FRANKIE. The stretch

Only on Monday, it was moved in
South Milwaukee to raise $4,000 to
complete part of the County Loop, -

Lake Shore road. Milwaukee county
has pledged $4,000, under the law.

manufacturers, also told Of the road
work that has been done there Cud-
