Dear Colonel Fitch:
Your letter of May 12, 1935 to Commissioner VanWagoner has been referred to, the writer for reply.
Information concerning tne U. S.
Work Relief Highway Program is
coming through from Washington
rather slowly, however, we do know
that at least $23,000,000 will be available for expenditure in Michigan. We
have not as yet been advised of the
regulations concerning the expenditure of these funds and, consequently,
cannot give you definite information
about specific projects. We hope that
the regulations will permit of considerable work on U. S. 10 between Clare
and Custer as we realize the need of
improving this part of the system.
For your information I would state
that we have a project under contract
at the present time on a relocation
extending northwesterly from Far-
well, eliminating two railroad crossings and straightening out the road.
As a next step we would like to pave
the section from Clare to Farwell and
also begin work on some other part
of US-10 that is now gravel surfaced.
I regret that, in the absence of Federal regulations, I cannot give you a
definite answer about the matter.
Thanking you for your interest, I
am, .    .
Sincerely yours,

To Face Trial on Charge of
Conspiracy January
Sixth
Mrs. Elizabeth Rowland was arraigned ih circuit court at Harrison,
before Judge Ray Hart, of Midland,
.Mohday, on the charge of conspiracy,
for unlawfully and wickedly conspiring, combining and agreeing to kill,
murder and drown her two small
daughters, Katherine Woodin, 6 and
Virginia, 2 1-2, who were later murdered by her husband, and the children's
step-father, Ferrin Rowland, September 17. Mrs. Rowland plead "Not
Guilty" and will face trial January 6,
1936,
If convicted, Mrs. Rowland will bejj
subject to a maximum sentence of 5
years.
Prosecutor Bowler stated that the
reason for the delay in issuing a
warrant against Mrs. Rowland for
conspiracy, was that he was waiting
to see if Oakland County Authorities
desired to charge her with murder of
the children in that county and when
,Oakland County authorities decided
that the evidence against her for
murder, was not sufficient to obtain
a conviction for murder, a warrant
charging her with a lessor crime, that
of conspiracy was asked of Justice
A. S. Youngs, by Pros. Atty Theo. G.
Bowler.

SUDDEN NOV. 28
Ellis   G.   Hughes   Was   a
Prominent Citizen Nearly 50 Years
(By Harrison Correspondent)
Great was the surprise and sorrow
of Harrison citizens Thursday when
we learned of the sudden death of one
of our beloved citizens and business
men, Ellis George Hughes, wha has
been in our midst for more than fifty
years.
Ellis George Hughes was born July
2, 1871, at Plymouth, Michigan, a
twin; and passed away-very suddenly
at his homelier© Thursday morning
November 28, 1935, at the age of
sixty-four years, four months and sixteen days. While yet a boy, he
moved with his parents to Harrison,
which has since been his home.
On April 30, 1908, Ellis G. was
united in marriage to Bertha Bowen,
of Ithaca, Michigan. To this union
was born three sons, Harold, Wheld-
en and Ellis Henry, all of whom
survive him.
Mr. Hughes was an active member
of the John J. Carton Lodge, No. 436
F. and A. M., also a member of the
Order of Eastern Stars at Harrison;
a 32nd degree mason with memberj
ship in the Bay City Consistory, a
N,oble of the Mystic Shrine with
membership in Elf Khurafeh Temple,
Saginaw j and belonged to the In/
dependent Order of Odd Fellows, and
an active member ofl the Harrison
Congregational church. He believe^
in the fundamental things" of religion
and although not demonstrative in
these matters, he was one who lived
in his daily life and practices the
spirit of the Christian principals and
teachings.
Mr. Hughes and his twin brother.
Elmer opened a general store in the
county seat town* forty-seven yeare
ago, and the business has been conducted under the firm name of the
Hughes Brothers ever since that
date.
During the boom days in Harrison
and vicinity this firm did a large vol-
umn of business and credit was extended to firms and individuals. They
also continued that policy during the
dull times and thousands of dollars)
Were lost as the. result of this universal credit business and the reluctance to say no to those who needed
food, clothing or farm supplies.
Mr. Hughes was , possessed of a
kind and generous disposition. None
of his many friends or associates had
ever known him to be out of temper
and thos"fe who had been employed
by him during these many years of
his business career remember him at1
a thoughtful and Sympathetic employer.
Beside the family, he is survived by two brothers, Elmer J., a twin,

more to the business institutions of
Clare than any other project.

known as The Michigan American
Guide.
There will be thorough research pertaining to " interesting historical set-,
tings and backgrounds of Clare's
early days. This* material to be inserted in Clare's division of the
American Guide.
An' exhaustive effort will be made
toi gain material of definite interest to
the tourist and vacationist. The subject matter will include: adventure
and romance where tlie actual setting
or background may still be pointed
out, and incidents strictly historical.
A total of twenty-one additional
subjects will be handled and included
in the American Guide. These include general topography, flora and
fauna, ethnography, educational faculties, societies and associations, and
other interesting subjects.
This work is being done primarily
for the benefit of Clare and surrounding communities." So, the .cooperation of Clare with Mr. Ruble will be
essential for the attainment of the
desired goal.
The better this project is handled,
that much -more definitely will Clare

RESETTLEMENT PROGRAM TO DECREASE
WEJJ-ARE ROLL
Forty  Families  Are  to Be Set
Up On Farms on Self-Sustaining {Sasis
Acting upon instructions from Lansing the Clare County Resettlement
office at Harrison is now prepared to)
take 40 families off the Welfare rolls
and setting them up in the farming
business On a self-sustaining basis.
The County Welfare Commission is
cooperating in the project by taking
applications from deserving families.
If upon investigation by the cooperation of the Welfare Commissioner
and the Resettlement office these
families show a fighting chance to
"come back" as self-sustaining farmers, machinery will be put in motion
to take the applicant from relief roll
and give his family a' new start in
life*1 as farmers. After a family is
taken over by the resettlement office
it is no longer eligible for W. P. A.,
or Welfare work of any kind except .
that given by the resettlement administration.
Small monthlyj subsistance grants
will be made during a short, period
of time after which loans for the purchase of livestock, equipment and
seeding supplies might be made. Farm
Management plans will be worked out
and close supervision of the clients,
farming operations will be maintained,
clients will also keep farm accounts
and records. These clients are to be
set up in a farming business and not
for "monkey-business." At anytime
the clients do not live up to the expectations of the resettlement office
they will be dropped as resettlement
clients.
Resettlement clients must be refer,
red by the County Welfare Commissions before any action can be taken
by the resettlement office.
One retarding factor in the efforts
to resettle farm families is that, good
farm land is not available tp be leased
to renters and tenants. The purchase
of farms for resettlement is not allowed by the resettlement adminstrat
tion.
Practically all Drought Relief loans
and many Rehabilitation loans are;
due now. Disposition of these leans'

future assistance given by the JResefr
