ELECTRIC LINE

                  COMING THIS WAY

-------------------------------------------

Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti are interested in the progress of the building of the new electric road between Battle Creek and Kalamazoo, as it is a link in the chain of roads which is soon to connect Detroit and Chicago as well as Detroit and Grand Rapids, as the D., Y. & A. A. was the first link built and as the Ann Arbor and Jackson road will be another link. The rails on the line between Battle Creek and Kalamazoo are now laid with the exception of a five-mile strip at the Battle Creek end, while the ties have reached the outskirts of Battle Creek. It is expected that cars will be running over the entire line by the middle of November.
