Saline, Aug. 21. - (Special to Daily Argus). - Saline is still looking forward to the completion of the electric line to Ypsilanti. Planks were hauled here Saturday to plank the Y in the village. The grading for the overhead bridge across the Ann Arbor railroad tracks has been completed and spiles have been driven down. It was chis overhead crossing which prevented the road being done on German-American Day It is now hoped that it will be completed by Sept. 1.

It would be an excellent idea if the Ann Arbor railway officals were imbued with it, for them to erect a waiting room at the point where the electric road crosses their track and to make it a station. They would catch a good many passengers for Toledo or the north.
