Plank Road Company Goes Out of Business

FRANCHISE HAS EXPIRED

In Sixty Years the Company Has Made it the Finest Country Road in Michigan

The franchise of the Ann Arbor and Lodi Plank Road Co. expired yesterday and consequently no more tolls will be collected.

The company has been in existence for 60 years, and during that time they have improved it so that the Saline road is known as the best country thoroughfare in Michigan.

The company has advertised to sell its property and the proceeds will be divided among the stockholders.

The company gives to the city of Ann Arbor the drinking fountain located near the toll gate on the condition that the city maintain it either at its present location or at some other on S. Main street at a point south of the track of the Ann Arbor Railroad company.

The toll gate extends some feet into the highway and the city has given permission for the gate house to be retained in its present location until spring, when the building will be removed entirely from the street.

It would be interesting to know just how much money has been taken in and expended on the road during these 60 years.
