Two Electric Lines

There is a possibility of Ann Arbor's having two electric linea to Detroit. Rumor has it thafc the Michigan Central is serioasly oonsidering the advisability of equippingí its line between this city and Detroit with electricity as is done on the New York, Hartford & New Haven so that snbnrban electric oars oan be rnn. The Central has been losing mueh of its local trafilo since the Detroit, Ypsilanti & Ann Arbor line has been built and it caunot compete ■with that line on rates owing to a provisión in its charter flxing tbe rates all over the state on the basis charged by the road between Ypsilanti and Detroit. It is thought that this provisión of the charter niay be overeóme by leasing a right of way to an electric company composed of Michigan Central officials. The plan is yet only in the talked of stage.
