ROADS ARE IN GOOD SHAPE NOW

AU roads leading from Gary to Hammond. East Ctucago and Chicago are in excellent shape. AU roads, including Seven A to Michigan City leading outof Gary

by way of Miller, East Gary, Porter

and Chesterton, passable, but very rough from East Gary to Michigan City. The route to Michigan City by way of Hobart over the Liberty Way, by the Hobart race track to the Seven Mile bridge, then through Woodville Junction into Chesterton and on the way to Michigan City, fairly good. This road from Hobart on is not marked. The hard surface road from Chesterton to Valparaiso In good condition. The old Chicago road leading from Hobart to Valpo In good condition, for heavy travel. This road is now known as the Hooster State Liberty Trail. One will find this road similar to a wash board, as the spring dragging has as yet not started. All roads connecting up with the Lincoln Way from Gary open except Broadway. The bridge on Broadway Just before you reach the Lincoln Way not open to traffic. All motorists wishing to carry the Lincoln Highway to Chicago

Heights or to Valparaiso, or points ; , East should pick up the Lincoln Way at Merrlville. The boggy spots one and a half miles this side j

of Valpo. also at "Westvaile, the other side of Valparaiso has been filled in with crushed stone, which i makes the Lincoln Way passable to South Bend and points East. All roads South from Hammond in good condition as far as Scout car jurisdiction, seventy miles.
