MICHIGAN CITIES
AID SOUTH BEND
TO GET HIGHWAY
SeC'y COnger of West Michigan
Pike Association viii Fur
niSh Data to Help This City
Get "Dixie" Route.

Michigan has now entered into the
fight to get the Dixie highway to
South Bend. Leading cities Of the
Wolverine state have learned Of the
efforts 10 divert the route west Of
South Bend and into Chicago. Realiz-
ing that if the highway takes any
other course than that into South
Bend they will lose much tourist
trade, they have jumped into the fight
on the side of South Bend
Louis II. Conger of Muskegon, sec
retary of the West Michigan Pike as
sOciation, arrived Friday afternoon
and conferred with the local commit
tee. He gave the committee assur-
ance that his association would do all
in its power to aid in bringing the
route to South Bend. Following on
Mr.. COngers visit came word from
Kalamazoo and Jackson that they
would start the wheels turning 10 re-
inforce the cause of South Bend.
Through Mr. COnger, letters and
documents bearing on the question Of
joining the Dixie highway and the
west Michigan pike which has its
eastern terminus in South Bend, will
be filed with officials of the Dixie
highway association. The West Mich
igan pike is also known as Lake
Shore all the Way" IL extends along
the eastern shore of Lake Michigan
clear TO the Traverse bay country.
Eventually. It is hoped TO reach the
Straits Of MaCkinaw. The counties
traversed are Berrien. Van Buren,.
Allegan, ottawa, MuskegOn. Oceana.
Mainistee, Benzie, Leelanau. Grand
Traverse, Antrim, CharlevOiX and
Emmett. William +. Loutit of Grand
Haven is president of the association.
Mr. COngcr is now engaged I'm COM
piling the second annual guide con-
tanning entirely new maps and much
information as 10 the roads and
routes to be followed. These maps
begin at the southern end and match
up as the route extends north. The
Chamber Of Commerce has furnished
two illustrations for this guide. one
showing the intersection of Main and
washington, which is the terminus Of
the pike. and the other a scene on
the St Joseph river, showing the site
of Lasalle's landing in 1879.
Speaking Of the highways, Mr.
Conger said.
The fact that the West Michigan
pike is the result OF two years Of
strenuous effort and has the complete
sanction Of the state highway officials
and is steadily being built. is a big
argument why the southern tourists
should wish 10 come through South
Bend TO avail themselves OF this de-
sirable route 10 the Michigan resorts" q"
