MICHIGAN ROAD WORK
AIDED BY REQ COMPANY

one OF the most interesting moves
and one which promises to be far
reaching in it's effect. is that made bv
the REQ Motor Car Company-the first
automobile concern to offer any liberal
support to state road building in
Michigan.
Recently that concern offered to sub
scribe $500 per mile for - road from
Lansing to Pennington. Mich In order
10 understand the offer, il, might N.

cret" road. of the most modern tyne

The road will run through the Counties
or Ingham, Livingston and Oakland and

that il he called tho REQ Highway"
rms last suggestion came not from tho
Neo Company. but from the road com
missioners. who thought It would have
a big advertising value for good roads
everywhere.
If the taxpayers vote to acccp, this
prcposition--as thcr" is little doubt
they will-the movement is liable to
spread. The REQ Motor Car COMPANY
states frankly that il would he willing
to go considerably farther IL the plan
works out we'll as il considers II not

prove an important connection to tho
great Lincoln Highway trunk road. es-
pecialy when A good road from Detroit

road will connect tn" roads that arc
in Michigan with those in Ohio and
Indiana.
With good roads Michigan would be
one of the most delightful and pic
turesque States in the entire Union for
summer tours. That it has not here
toforc been popular, save in certain
sections. is due to tho very bad con-
dition OF the roads. This $500 per mile

bring that about.

The Knox county commissioners, at
their session Monday afternoon, filled
the vacancies on the Brink Haven
board of education by appointing
three persons to fill the unexpired
terms of three whose designations
were presented to and accepted by
the Brink Haven board some weeks
ago. The members of the school
board were unable to agree upon any
one to fill the vacancies and conse-
quently the matter was referred to
the county commissioners, as provid-
ed for By statute when the school
board fails to make a choice.
The county commissioners had the
matter up for discussion two weeks
ago and at that time there was live
ly scene at the court house when res
idents from Brink Haven were pres
ent at the meeting.
On Monday the commissioners
again had the question and decided
to fill the vacancies by placing all
the names of the applicants in hat
and then drawing out three. This
was done and the following were
drawn out:
Clyde Parsons for the short term,
expiring January /, 1916.
James Blubaugh for the term ex-
piring January 1, 1918.
Shannon Berchart for the term ex-
piring January 1, 1918.
There were a large number Of ap-
plicants and the commissioners de-
cided that the best way to settle the
matter was to draw the names from
the hat.
