The Aun Aroor Water Co's seryiee pipa and extensión?, $5,000. The new bridge of the M. C. K. K. over the Pontiac street crossing, and approacbes tbereto, $10,000. All of wbich added together makes a grand total of 1308,400. Besiclcs llie above Alvin Wilsey and A. V. Hobison each have foundations laid forbrick bloeks on S. Fourtli streef, and B. Green for two storles on N. Fourth street, as an ndddltlon to the Goodrich house. There are alsn seveinl foundations laid lor new botlMO, but as they will Dot be constructed until next year we have left thera out, preferrlnji to ive Ollly thu ic!u;il growtb for the year. The keepers of the lumbcr yards teil m that not one-half the lamber sold by thecn goos to thu city of Ann Arbor. The larronndlQg country takes more than does the city, showinj that we are not keeplng ahead of the fartning coromuiiity ¦nrrounding us. With all of Ann Arbor's prosperity, the rillage of Cuelaea bt growu fully as nuicii in proportlon. Ypsilantl, too, with lier expendlture of $100,000 In new buildings Is not f ar behlnd. A pecullarity of Ann Arbor is the iniount of vahiable property exempt trom t.ixation. Tiike the Universlty buiklings, lie observiitory, the vahiable charchef, ;he public school buildings, St. Thomas' mrochial Pchool, Hobart Ouild hall, 'uut boute, the vnUiable railroad buildngl and property, Jall, city liall and enrine houses out of the taxuble property of Ann Aibor, umi it makes a wonderfully j laiire hole.
