Commissioner St. Clair of Lake
County spoke on the proposed Gum
flint road. Mr.. st. Clair stated that
Lake County did not approve of the
survey made by Mr.. McCauley last
year and that he received permission
of the State Highway Department to
make a new survey through Lake
County and that Engineer Gladman
has been assigned to the work. Mr..
Gladman is now on the job and plans
to have the survey completed by
March 81. This new survey will be
made south of the previous survey
and will pass through more desir-
able country from recreational
standpoint. Mr.. St. Clair urgently
requested the moral support of the
Club for this proposed location of the
Ely-Grand Marais road. Mr.. Broz-
ich spoke of the advantages a south
ern route would have for everyone
concerned. Mr.. st. Clair further
stated that the chief objection to Mr.
McCauley's survey was that it went
trough twenty miles of burned-over
country that was very uninviting as
being free from timber and soil with
nothing but a vast expanse of rock
strewn country and a very difficult
locality through which to construct
road. Further, that a more south
erly route would be near and within
the Superior National Forest and fur
nish route much more pleasing and
interesting. 1t would open up a
country of great recreational posi-
bilities. F. B. James, Geo. L. Broz-
ich and H. E. White all spoke favor
ably of a more southerly location and
the advantages that would be re-
ceived.
It was moved and supported that
the president of the Club be en-
powered to appoint delegation of
three members to assist Mr.. st. Clair
and the Lake County Commissioners
in having the southern route of the
proposed Ely Grand Marais road ac-
cepted by the State Highway Depart
ment and further that County Com
missioner Grant McMahan be one Of
the committee. Carried.
Mr.. St. Clair also spoke on the
progress of the work on the Ely-Fin-
land road and said that Lake County
was short of funds and that further
aid must be solicited through the eff
forts of the Ely Commercial Club
and County Commission McMahan
for the completion of the road; that
although the State Relief Board had
