The Imperial is peculiar in its construction, being built around a handsome residence, but so arranged that all the rooms of the residence are brought into practical use, making the interior at once cosy, attractive and home-like to a degree seldom experienced in The standard guide; Mackinac Island and northern lake resorts http://www.loc.gov/resource/lhbum.03298 Library of Congress hotel construction. The home atmosphere of the original building remains, and gives the dominating character of the entire building. In the handsome double parlors of the former residence, with the open grate fire to cheer one on frosty September mornings, is felt the genuine “at home” feeling. It was a happy thought, that of rounding the north end of the east wing, and a happier one that led to the location of a pleasant sitting room here on the second floor, which has been claimed by both ladies and invalids. It is a particularly cheerful spot, getting the early morning and late evening sun, abundance of lake breeze, and beautiful views of lake and land. THE IMPERIAL HOTEL. PETOSKEY, MICHIGAN. TOWER END OF THE IMPERIAL OFFICE. The Imperial Hotel is perfectly equipped and is one of the most up-to-date hotels in this country. It has one hundred and sixty-five bed chambers, eighty-four of which are equipped with steam heat. It is lighted with electric light throughout. The Imperial is five stories high, and a modern, quickly-running elevator carries guests to their respective floors. The furnishings are of the best grade and of a quality rarely found in resort hotels; in fact, many pronounce it the most handsomely furnished hotel in northern Michigan. There are twenty-one rooms with bath and toilet connected. New sanitary plumbing is a notable feature. An especially attractive feature of the Imperial Hotel is its commanding position on an eminence, but a block away from the Grand Rapids & Indiana Railway station, and its north and west fronts afford a beautiful view of the waters or Lake Michigan. The standard guide; Mackinac Island and northern lake resorts http://www.loc.gov/resource/lhbum.03298 Library of Congress The exterior at once impresses one as very inviting, and the interior even more so. All bedrooms are light and airy, and perfect cleanliness is maintained. The superior excellence of our table is directly attributable to “good home cooking” style in the preparation of foods. We serve the finest fresh lake fish and our method of planking whitefish is unequalled. The cheerful dining room overlooks the bay. Write us for our rooms and rates circular.

    FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT SUPPLEMENT NO. 2 GREAT LAKES CONNECTING CHANNELS WIDENING AND DEEPENING BENDS IN THE ST. MARYS RIVER, MICHIGAN (PHASE III) Prepared by U. S. Army Engineer District Detroit, Michigan March 1974 STATEMENT OF FINDINGS GREAT LAKES CONNECTING CHANNELS WIDENING AND DEEPENING BENDS IN ST. MARYS RIVER, MICHIGAN PHASE III SUPPLEMENT NO. 2 1. I have reviewed and evaluated, in light of the overall public interest, the documents concerning the proposed action, as well as the stated views of other interested agencies and the concerned public, relative to the proposed dredging project on the connect­ ing channel waterway of the St. Marys River. 2. The River and Harbor Act of 1956 (P.L. 434, 84th Congress) pro­ vided for a safe vessel draft of 25.5 feet for both upbound and downbound traffic with a least channel width of 300 feet. Authority for inclusion of design and construction of the bend widening projects for the St. Marys River into the existing Great Lakes Channels Authorization was granted by the Chief of Engineers on 12 December 1967, subject: Great Lakes Connecting Channels, Widening and Deepening Bends in the St. Marys and St. Clair Rivers. 3. The continued well-being of tire St. Marys River is a matter of great concern to a wide scope of interests, whether they be commer­ cial, conservational, or recreational. The needs of waterborne commerce in terms of the project were carefully and objectively weighed against the potential impacts on the environment as well as the valid objections of concerned individuals and organizations. All phases of the project have been and continue to be coordinated with the appropriate Federal, State and local agencies having perti­ nent responsibilities.

  • Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund (MNRTF) Grants for 5 Active Or Completed Projects
    The COUNTY ALCONA MICHIGAN NATURAL RESOURCES TRUST FUND was established under the Kammer Recreational Land Trust Fund Act of 1976 to provide a permanent funding source for the public acquisition of land for resource protection and public outdoor recreation. Funding is provided by revenue derived from royalties on the sale and lease of state-owned oil, gas and mineral rights. This landmark piece of legislation came to fruition thanks to the collaborative efforts of the Michigan Oil and Gas Association, Michigan United Conservation Clubs and state legislators on behalf of all Michigan citizens. The MNRTF has contributed immeasurably to protecting our state’s natural beauty and helped paved the way for wise and prudent development of our state’s abundant energy resources. To date, the MNRTF has awarded over $1.1 billion in grants to Michigan’s state and local parks, waterways, trails and nature preserves throughout all 83 counties. Of this total, $245 million has been invested in trails. In excess of 1,000 public parks have been acquired and / or developed. Other projects funded include ball fields, tennis courts, trailheads, restrooms and other amenities, for a total of just under 2,500 MNRTF-assisted projects since 1976. ALCONA COUNTY Alcona County has received $644,100 in Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund (MNRTF) grants for 5 active or completed projects.
