The group meeting for the Lakes States was held in Room 1404, Kimball Building, Chicago, convening at 10 A. M. on June 3.
The work of selection was continued in entire harmony. In the course of the work it developed that sentiment of the Board members present inclined toward the selection of practically a complete system at this time rather than the selection of an abbreviated system to be augmented in the future from time to time. Opinion was that for any reasonable period into the future the needs for through routes could be sufficiently foreseen to lay out a system which would be final for a long period of years.
Each member was requested to furnish a larger scale map than available at the meeting showing the selections actually made in each State and indicating by appropriate means those routes which the States believed should be continuous in designation.
