Company Will Pave

At the meeting of the common aouncil Monday evening City Attorney Bntterfield stated that he had been in conference with the Detroit, Ypsilanti & Ann Arbor ftaüway Co., and that the company had positively refnsed to do any paving on Main st. , bnt that they were williug to furnish steel ties, grooved rails and iron poles, and wiH build a cnorete foundation to lay the ties on. He said tbat if the oity paved between the euds of the rails it would mean an exta expenditnre of f 1,500 or $1,600. The idea of oompromising in any such a manner as tbis was so out of the qnestion that a resort to the legal courts to oompel the railway oompany to do the paving was about to be resorted to, when Mayor Hiscock proposed that he and the city attorney should go to Detroit and see the offioers of the road abont it. They accordingly went down yesterday. Thay met President J. D. Hawks, Vice President Angns and H. T. Thurber, and from 9 :30 a. m. to 2 :30 p. m. the oouferenoe went on, tbe coropany finally agreeing to pave between the traoks, put in the steel ties, grooved rails, iron poles and concrete foundation, provided W. J. Clanoy will do the paving at the same price as the rest of nis contract, and take his pay in two installments at eix rnorttbs and one year's time.
