H.W. Ashley Elected Director

Will this help grade separation in Ann Arbor

He will have an opportunity to bring his views before the other four directors

These directors were elected Monday at the meeting of the Ann Arbor Railroad Co. in New York city: C.L. Lawrence, H.W. Ashley, J.E. Simmons and C.S. Reynolds. They succeed C.W. Burt, A.P. Enos, C.D. Stewart and Geo. Q. Quintard. The new board elected the following officers: President, Joseph Ramsey, jr.; vice president, C.J. Lawrence; secretary, D.C. Tate; treasurer, H.B. Henson. Mr. Ramsey is also president of the Wabash railroad.

Mr. Ashley is the man to whom Ann Arbor looks for grade separation in this city and he has been a consistent advocate of it. Ann Arborites will be glad to note that he is one of the five directors of the road and hope that he may be able to influence his colleagues to his way of thinking.

Grade separation is a good thing for Ann Arbor. It is a good thing for the Ann Arbor road.
