night, to enable every one to see it. All

Dow, will go to Fort Sam Houston,
Texas, where MIR. Harvey was trans
ferred the middle of this month, from

stretch of concrete paved highway next

one-half miles toward Paw Paw The
u. S. government will pay one-half, the
state of Michigan one half, and the bal
ance will be paid by this county. This
will be the beginning Of real road build

that all the main highways will event
ually be paved with concrete.
