HURON, FELCH AND MILLER AVENUE CLOSED JULY TO SEPT.

-----

Libery, First and William from Sept. 1 to Oct. 1 — Some Proviso Attached

-----

The Ann Arbor Railroad company was given the right to close Huron and Felch streets and Miiler avenue from July 5 to Sept. 1, and Liberty, First and William streets from Sept. 1 to Oct. 1, provided that Felch street and Miller avenue should be open while Washington and Huron streets are closed, and with the understanding that the Aun Arbor railroad deliver to the city all the gravel necessary to make the change of grade in the streets.

Mr. Richards, the Ann Arbor engineer, was present on invitation of Mr. Sawyer and explained that the grade at Felch street would be first raised, then at Miller avenue. As soon as one street was finished it would be opened up. "We can persumably," he said, "get Felch street done before we begin Huron street, but Huron, Washington and Liberty streets are so close together that we shall have to close three at one time."
