An Attempt To Bulldoze A Track Across Streets

The Toledo, Ann Arbor Ov North Michigan road aroused the indig ïation of our citizens last Sunday jy what looked like a bare-faced attempt to steal part of First Street About nine o'clock Sunday ii ing a gang of men were put at v to build a sidetiack from Llbi street, across William street, 'on First street adjoining their land. By midnight the track was down and fifteen or twenty loaded freight cars upon it. T-he track ran exactly where the Toledo road had been ordered to build a side.walk, which they had neglected to do. Mayor Doty was not notified of the matter until Monday morning, when he at once caused the work to be stopped. A rumor was afloat that Ashley was on his way from Toledo with a large gang of men and the fire department was ordered out and a hose attached to drown the first men who started to work. The mayor issued a cali for a special meeting of the council at one o'clock and their action is fully set forth in their official proceedings in another column. The road, in accordance with the notice served by order of the council, have removed their track from the street. But they simply moved it over on their own land, evidently with the intention of crossing William street and it begins to look as if that were the original intention of the road. In fact, it looks as if they considered their method the easiest way of getting the council to consent to their crossing two streets.
