Treasurer John Jetter, of Ann Arbor town, received the taxes of the D., Y., A. A. & J. road Saturday under protest. He attempted to make a levy on one of the big cars the other day and told the motorman that he levied on the car. "All right," said the motorman, "just let me turn the car around." The treasurer watched the operation. "Phist," went the car, and the treasurer could only watch it vanish in the distance. This morning the treasurer got ready to make a levy and gave the road notice that he would do so at a certain hour. He received the taxes.

The other township treasurers have been preparing to levy, but it is believed that they have also received the money, paid under protest, as excessive taxation.
