Dixie Highway Movement and Southeast Road Plans
The Dixie highway movement spreads through the south with $1 bids failing to improve roads. Four new highways to Chicago Miami are under study, with other corridors from Chattanooga to New Orleans and from Miami to Cape Sable planned. Bond issues are planned to fund Miami area segments and other states consider cross-state links as Tennessee and North Carolina show cooperation.

A separate legal notice in Brown County Probate Court requests appearances related to the estate of Christiane Pfenninger with a scheduled July 15 1915 hearing and publication of the order in the New Ulm Review.
