The Council Wants Ordinance to Make One. Tearing Up Sidetracks Causes the Council to Look With Suspicion on Ann Arbor Road's Willingness to Protect the City.

 

The council decided Monday evening n favor of a milk inspector. On motion of Ald. Coon the ordinance committee was instructed to formulate an ordinance providing for a milk inspector. President Haarer suggested that Jackson had a good milk inspection ordinance.

 

Ald. Koch wanted to know what was the matter with the city's case against the D., Y., A. A. & J. for paving.

 

City Attorney Sawyer said he expected to try the cases before the next term of court. The city had two cases, one of them it had been agreed to leave to arbitration, but it was impossible to get the road before arbitrators.

 

Ald. Koch asked what could be done about compelling the road to fix up W. Huron street.

 

City Attorney Sawyer said the city could tear up their tracks.

 

Ald. Schumacher got after the Ann Arbor R. R. for tearing up a lot of sidetracks and introduced a resolution reciting that the road's treatment of its customers was no good sign that the city's interests would be cared for by the road in grade separation and moving the appointment of a committee of five, including the Mayor and City Attorney, to decide what steps should be taken to protect the city's interests.

 

The resolution carried and the president appointed Ald. Douglas, Schumacher and Coon as the aldermanic members of the committee.

 

Ald. Koch wanted to know what right the road had to raise its tracks higher than the ordinance allowed. He said he understood that they were going to raise the tracks a foot higher on W. Jefferson street.

 

Finally, the city engineer was requested to examine the plans of the road to see if they conformed with the ordinance.

 

The regular registration and election notices were passed.
