Hayes, the Ann Arbor ageut of the Michigan Central, railroad, whioh stated that he had "been advised from the chief eugineer's ofSce of the Michigan Central that the old lnmber frora off the Detroit st. overhead bridge is ;he property of the city of Ann Arbor." On ruotion of Mr. Keech it was resolved to accept the donation made by the company and to thauk Mr. Hayes for the same. It was then further resolved that the street committee be instrncted to dispose of the old lnmber to the highest bidder, the proceeds to be placed to the credit of the bridge, cnlvert and crosswalk fnnd, and the matter was disposed of. The engioeer and construction gang of the New State Telephone Co. are in the city and work on the construction will be comruenced at once. It is proposed to put in the line with conduits and cables in the business portiou of the city and thus do away with disfignring the looks uf the streets with an increased unrnber of poles and wires.
