NEW PRESIDENT OF ANN ARBOR R. R.

WILL BE PRESIDENT RAMSEY OF THE WABASH

At a special meeting in New York this week of the directors of the Ann Arbor, Joseph Ramsey, jr., will be elected president in place of W. R. Burt. Since June 20, 1901, Mr. Ramsey has been the president of the Wabash railroad, and will continue at the head of it. President Ramsey has won his fight for an entrance of the Wabash into Pittsburg, but apparently that is only one round of a long contest with the Pennsylvania company. The latter is said to have practically secured control of the Pere Marquette system, and proposes to fight the old lines for Michigan and trans-lake traffic. In view of this the Goulds have decided to put the Ann Arbor railroad under the management of Mr. Ramsey.
