to Wyandotte General hospital,

Memorial Arch
Proposed For
New Honor Roll
Roll In Central Location
Called Impractical; Ask
For Permanent Structure

Definitely deciding against an
honor roll for the city of Wyandotte,
the Honor Roll Committee of the
City Council and representatives of
various service organizations in the
city recommended that a Memorial
Arch be constructed, instead, at the
east end of Superior Blvd. at Bish-
op Park entrance.
The recommendation Of the COM
mittee was passed on at the meet
ing of the City Council, Tuesday,
and City Engineer Liddle was in
structed to prepare estimates and
designs for the proposed arch.
The City Council was also asked
to change the name Of Superior
Blvd. to Memorial Blvd.
An Honor Roll was decided to be
impractical because the number of
the city's young men and women in
the service would require a board
Of very large size, if the names
were to be readable and also because
Of the lack of centrally located
space.
Preference was given, instead, to
a structure more permanent in ma
ture. The names of all local service
men would be inscribed in panels
in the arch, If it is built, where they
would be protected from weather
and would remain permanently.
The Council did not act on the
proposed changing of the name of
Superior Blvd.

Announce Road
Plan Linking
Detroit, Chicago

Plans to make Detroit the first
American city to lead the nation
in the annual billion dollar post
war highway program got under
way here today when a proposal
for Chicago-Detroit Expressway,
linking the country's greatest in
dustrial centerS, was announced at
Hotel Statler.
The plan was submitted by the
Automobile Club of Michigan to
a group Of highway officials and
civic leaders. simultaneously, sim
liar meeting was being held in Chi
cago under the sponsorship Of the
Chicago Motor Club.
While no exact routing Of the
new road was presented, it was
pointed out that the present road
facilities between the two cities
are such that the U. S. Public
Roads Administration recognizes
this as the second most needed
highway in America today. The
shortest route, according to the
Touring Bureaus of the two motor
ing organizations, is 273 miles by
way of US-2O and US-112. Ordinary
travelling time is estimated at seven
hours.
Chas. T. Bush, Auto Club Girec-
tor and chairman Of the Chicago
Detroit EXpreSsway Committee, said
the new express route will be short
er and cut travelling time to five
hours, and would save hundreds of
accidents and scores of lives an
nually.
According to Mr.. Bush, chairman
at the luncheon meeting initiating
the project, Congress has approved
a national system of interstate
highways not in excess Of 10000
miles of advanced design to be built
half by state and half by federal
funds. Traffic surveys have shown
that the present facilities linking
these two cities are carrying from
5000 to 10000 vehicles a day, a
number which, from an engineering
viewpoint, is far beyond the safe
capacity of these roadways.
Principal speaker at the meeting
was Richard Harfst, General Man
ager of Automobile Club, who said
that this proposed roadway would
not only join two of the nations
greatest industrial centerS, but
would traverse one of the richest
agricultural areas on earth.
"The road will serve 100000 per-
sons in these two great cities and
in the counties through which it
passes" HarfSt said. 1T is also one
! Of the strategic links in the mill
tary system of highways, as desig-
mated by the U. S. War Depart
ment"
1.-THE highway will be Of ultra
modern design, with high standards
of construction, depending upon

In all, the party was a huge sue
