Comments

Visger road will soon be a full
fiedged highway. All the trees have
been cut down and the old houses
painted, which makes big i'm
provement. Perhaps, we shall get
that long-needed light at visger
and Thirteenth street, which is SO
badly NEEDED. The citizens are do
ing their bit to make Ecorse
great city. Improvements are being
made on numerous homes. There
are also several new homes being
built.
BY this time another year. the
local population of our people will
be increased twenty per cent, II the
government doesn't clamp down too
tight on building materials.
We see that the First Baptist
church is keeping up with the
march OF time. They are preparing
for larger membership, by build
ing new and larger church
which is expected to seat about
four hundred persons. Work has
already started on the church and
1t Is expected that the building will
be completed within the next three
months.
Yours truly was absent from the
city over the week end enjoying
short vacation in Chicago. That's
why you have less news than usual
but next week l will be in like a
flash with all the dope on every
thing.
