The building Of state reward roads
I'm Orleans township is progressing
rapidly under the direction of Louis

Hall says that before the beginning of
the new year the township will have
80 miles of state reward roads, of
which about six miles will be trunk
line road of the best construction.
This will make Orleans township the

county by wide margin.
Work is now being rushed on the
two miles west Of Woods Corners to
connect with the trunk line at Or
leans. The grading on this stretch of
road is finished and the bottom course
of gravel has been put on for about a
mile.
The Belding- Ionia trunk line grade
has been completed from Orleans vii
lage to the Easton township line, a
distance of two and four-fifths miles.
The bottom course of gravel has been
placed and eighty rods of the top
course of pebbles has been put on.
The pebbles are furnished from the

about 25 cents per cubic yard to do
the screening and dollar yard to
haul it to the roads. On all trunk
line roads screened gravel, without
any fine sand, is required for the top
course in order to secure the double
reward from the state
Commencing three-fourths of a
mile south of Orleans village, re-
ward road is being built two miles
west to intersect the north and south
reward road now one-half mile unim-
proved. and this link is to be closed
this season with state reward road
to the Easton township line. The re-
ward road two miles north of Woods
Corners to the Shiloh road is to be
completed and mile and half west
of the Shiloh school house to Long
Lake is under construction and will
be finished before the next resort
season opens at Long Lake. Work
will also be completed on the two

Mr.. Hall says a proposition to bond

Fish Being Depleted

Hastings.-Unless great deal OF
care is taken TO replenish the fish in
the $50 lakes in Barry county, fishing
will be spoiled in the future. The en-
tire supply of one hatchery would be
necessary TO keep our lakes supplied
with fry. The only solution of the fish
supply problem for the future is to
have a hatchery right here in Barry
county, and the project will be taken
up at the next meeting of the legis-
lature. There has been tremendous
drain upon the stock of fish in the
lakes during the season just closing.
The extremely hot weather brought a
record breaking number of pleasure
seekers to the lakes.
