The weather bureau has bad a lot of fun ealling their "shots" in predictions.

For instance it a citisen wants an aljey improvement, a street improvement or if he merely wants to make a suggestion or complaint, his first level will be the pft)f>er committee and departmental head. After the problem is presented and discussed, final decision will be made by the full Council, following a detailed committee report and recommendation. In this way, it is believed the board of works will have more time for its own specific problems. Certainly it is a plan well worth an effort. 0 0 ~ Citizens of Decatur and Adams county have long wanted an improved U.S. highway 27 from Decatur north. The desire of a safe and suitable highway was not born from the wish to connect Decatur with Fort Wayne but rather to make a good highway link on north through Michigan and also to connect with several important east-west highways across the state. The state highway commissions .of the last fifteen years have been most receptive to the proposal, but until two years ago the matter always got no further than the prpmising stage. Harry Essex, Decatur, a long time advocate of “the best In everything Is not too good for Adams county" was named to membership to the state road group. Essex accepted the ‘ appointment with one thought uppermost in his mind and that was to have a decent highway from DfiC&tUr north as a connecting link with other great highways. Knowing that his health would nol permit him to serve out his full four-ybar appointment, the Decatur*' mftn ‘stayed with the highway commission until contracts were let for the rebuilding of 27 north. Today that dream' of the people for more than 20 years has come true and the connecting link with such roads as U.S. 6 and 30 and eventually with the across the nation toll road is almost completed. Many local people deserve credit for their part in making this highway dream come true, but above all Is the work and effort of Harry Essex. We salute this fine Decatur citizen on his accomplishment for all of us.
