MUCH MONEY is INVESTED
Mr.. Gibbs Says That Every Effort
viii be Bent towards Keeping
Place Clean and Desirable

The opening of the Chicagon lake
project last Saturday June 25) drew
some 1900 individuals to view this
new amusement center. In view OF
this relatively large attendance on the
iirst opening day II is not thought i'm
probable that the spot will be VISITED
by thousands during the summer
Everyone at the Inauguration OF the
new resort expressed the greatest de.
gree OF enthusiasm over the dancing
floor, the music, furnished by the De-
troit Philharmonic Orchestra, and
the general facilities OF the place.
Briefly, the Chicagon Lake amuse-
ment project has materialized into
reality.

week end on the new base ball dia-
mond recently constructed by the own

tenders however, ran OFF with the
prize on Sunday, when they took the
count of the Gibbs crowd TO the tune
