Summary

An October 2003 Beaver Beacon thank-you reported that a second load of twelve junk vehicles had been removed from Beaver Island at no cost. Jim Slough hauled the vehicles to East Jordan for $30, and Jean Palmer coordinated the continuing community beautification effort.

Evidence limits

The short notice documents one cleanup load and its coordination, not a complete vehicle inventory, disposal record, or environmental assessment.
