with the boulevard would not exceed
two-thirds of the cost Of the other
route. This may be true. but Wor-
cester county people do not want it
for the following reasons:
First, Not more than one-half as
many persons along its frontage
would be served" by this route thus
violating the cardinal principle of do
ing the greatest good to the greatest
number Of people
Second, The route would be more
indirect for the people in the lower
part OF the county desiring 10 reach
the boulevard. and for Delaware peo-
pie who wished 10 90 south.
Third. the county would perhaps
save $1,000 annually in road repairing
II the other route is selected.
Fourth. The road from Berlin to
Shovel has recently been graded and
Strengthened at considerable cost. so
that the cost Of preparing it for stone
or concrete would be small.
For the reasons above set forth II
would seem that this road should be
built as specied in the Taylor bill,
and that it should be done at the earl
lest possible moment.
We would suggest that every citi-
zen who is convinced Of the justice
and desirability Of the Berlin dupont
route. signify same by writing the
State Roads Commission, Garrett
Building. Baltimore, urging the adop-
ton Of said route. and the beginning
of operations on same al the earlies'
possible moment.

INCREASED
STREET RAILWAY
PATRONAGE

On account of the snow storm Sat
urday, Sunday and Monday, the Grand
Rapids Street Railway Co. were O.
bliged Monday morning to double
their carrying capacity to Port Ed
wards by adding a trailer to the 6:15
a. m. and $50 p. m. cars whose
capacity is equal to the motor cars
being the same size and capacity.
These cars seat comfortably 45 pass
engers. They have been crowded to
135 passengers coming from the ball
park at times in the summer.
There are a large number of work
men who live in Grand Rapids and
work in the Port Edwards mill. At
present there are also a large number
of mechanics who are employed on
new buildings being erected there. In
nice weather many of these men tray
ell on foot, bicycles and rigs, but the
recent bad weather forced them to use
the street railway, therefore the in
creased traffic.

Meeting

Court No. 1876 of the Catholic Or
der of Foresters had an interesting
meeting at their hall over the post
Office, Wednesday night. J. R. Raglan
gave an interesting talk on his recent
trip to Columbus, Ohio, and also on
the new white way which this city is
about to install to light up its business
streets.
We all know that Grand Rapids is
a poorly lighted up town and behind
spect and Mr.. Raglan certainly gave
good detailed account of what the
committee and merchants propose to
do in the way Of getting better lights.
Bert Bever, the good-hearted and
ever obliging Clerk Of the Court, pass
ed around box of cigars because of
his reelection. The Foresters enjoy
any other city of its size in this re-
ed a smoker on Brother Bever, after
which cards were played.
It was decided by the lodge that at
the next regular meeting which will
be held on December 9Th, that Gui-
nea Supper be served at 7 o'clock. This
will be a novelty.
Some Of the Foresters will bring
their old hens and the Guinea will be
furnished by Brother Ferd Link, the
butcher, and in that way the lodge will
be treated to a Guinea hen supper.
This will be free to the members and
their wives or sweethearts only. Some
good speaker will be here on that ev-
ening to give talk.
DR.. c. T. Foote, a newly wed mem
Der will furnish the cigars. All mem
bers are requested to be present to
partake of the Guinea hens. The For
esters are holding interesting meet
ings and the members that fail to at
tend don't know what they are miss
ing.

Jerome D. Potter of the town of
Remington, was in the city Thurs
day on business. In an interview
with him we learned that he was a
brother of Melvin O. Potter of this
city, the we'll known cranberry man
and grower. Mr. Jerome D. Potter
came here A years ago and did his
first work on the Dutruit cranberry
marsh in the city limits. Since then
he has logged, farmed, death in real
estate and raised cranberries very
successfully. He now owns and OPP
crates a combination 500 acre farm
and cranberry marsh together in the
town of Remington. This year he
raised 400 barrels of cranberries,
$50 ton of wire grass besides pota-
toes and other crops. His berries will
sell for about So per Darrell and his
wire grass about $40 per ton. In an
early day land that would only grow
wire grass was considered worthless.
Now it's valuable. Mr.. Potter is a pleas
ant man to visit with, he has an eX-
cellent knowledge of the variety of
lands in Wood county and their value.

100000
WELL USED

Wood county appropriated $4,000
last year to the City of Grand Rapids
for good road purposes and this is
what they used it for along with o.
yer $4,000 of city money.
The village of Biron laid a cement
road into the city limit line and the
city extended that same cement road
500 feet, but Is feet wide; also 500
feet of cement road on the Rudolph
or Hamm macadam road and 900 feet
of cement road just west of the G. B.
& W. R. R. right of way on the Sene-
ca macadam road. Say nothing of
the grading and turnpiking on these
same, three roads. The complete con-
tract cement road work was S2.55 per
square yard. This price does not in
clude the grading.
This excellent work already so well
begun should be continued this next
year and we hope the County Board
will be fully as liberal in their ap-
preparation this year. Such an ex-
cellent beginning should not be dis
continued as it adds to the value of
every acre of land in Wood county as
whole. Let the good work contin-
ue.
The city of Grand Rapids contribut-
es to the state county highway system
about 20 per cent of the whole county
tax for highway purposes and is not
entitled by law to any Of it except by
donation of the County Board.
