Tolsdo correspondence of the Post and Tribune: The Grand Trunk railway met with another set back in their endeavors to get into the city by the council ref using Tuesday night to pass the ordinance to lts third reading. For nearly a year the Toledo and Ann Arbor, the Toledo, Northwestern and Michigan and the Grand Trunks roads have tried to get the necessary legislation to enter "Water Street, and careful consideration indicated that a new organization, the Toledo, Ann Arbor aüd Grand Trunk, was the best fitted for the franchise. Accordingly an ordinance granting them the right of way, was prepared and presented to the council, but has got only to its second reading. The Grand Trunk wants to get into Toledo and the city wants it should, but the fear that the present ordinance is a écheme of the Ann Arbor will probably kill it, and it is probable that some time will elapse before the Truuk folks lócate any offices here.
