beautifully had it been decorated. The
entire banquet and dance had been
built around the idea of an old fash-
ioaied garden. In one corner a big
moon 6 feet in diameter had been constructed by the shop boys. Then
there was a lovely rock garden witn
real water, and little fish, turtles, etc.
The porch scene and yard with its
picket fence were indeed beautiful.
Rustic benches, garden chairs>
Japanese lanterns, evergreen trees
and branches completed the picture.
The Melody men from Lake City
furnished such entrancing music that
everyone was loathe to leave. However at one o'clock tired but happy
faces filed out through the little green
trellises, said goodnight to each other
and carried home another lovely
remembrance of school days.

2,000,000 RELEASED
BY STATE HIGHWAY
UNDER MITT ACT
Glare County to Receive
$21,485 for Construction
and Maintenance of
Twp. Roads
Payment of ?2,000,000 to the counties as the first half of the 1936 McNitt refund was authorized by
State Highway Commissioner Murray
D. Van Wagoner. The voucher was
turned over to the auditor general
checks will be mailed to the counties
immediately.
Although the law does not require
full payment before July 1, Cominis-
siner Van Wagoner decided to release
half of the funds at this time to afford relief to counties which are hard
■pressed financially. Several counties
had requested advance payment.
The money will be used by county
road commissions for maintenance
and construction on former township
roads which have become a part of
,the county system under the McNitt
Act.
The township road system of Michigan which totaled some 62,200 miles
passed out of existence on April 1,
when the last of the roads were taken
into the county systems. The McNitt
township road law passed in 1931
provided that the counties take over
the township road mileages at the
rate of 20 per cent a year. A first-
year appropriation of $2,000,000. was
allocated to the counties to help them
shoulder the burden. This amount,
was increased"*by $500,000 annually,
until the present yearly appropriation
is $4,000,000. The same amount win
ibe paid each year hereafter.
Individual payments to the counties under the first 50 per cent refund are as follows:
Clare, 21,485.36; Gladwin, 19,622.03;

The entire banquet and dance had been built around the idea of an old fash- ioaied garden. In one corner a big moon 6 feet in diameter had been constructed by the shop boys. Then there was a lovely rock garden witn real water, and little fish, turtles, etc. The porch scene and yard with its picket fence were indeed beautiful. Rustic benches, garden chairs> Japanese lanterns, evergreen trees and branches completed the picture. The Melody men from Lake City furnished such entrancing music that everyone was loathe to leave. However at one o'clock tired but happy faces filed out through the little green trellises, said goodnight to each other and carried home another lovely remembrance of school days.
