Haughville Plans Lake Resort Amid Growth and Paving Debates
In Haughville a proposed lake resort project near West Michigan Street draws capital interest, while a building boom accelerates with 125 homes this spring and 300 more planned. Residents argue over paving the street and analysts note a new three story factory addition by Ewart Manufacturing. A local character, J. W. Ballard, is highlighted for profiting from a building and loan contract as civic life thrives with lodges and a patriotic order. A dramatic streetcar incident ends with a rescue by a teamster named Ferguson who later contemplates work with a silver-haired benefactor after kissing the courage pledge with his sweetheart Katie.
