Grade Separation Commences

Work Actually Begins on the Ann Arbor

Day and Night Gangs

Will Push it- Two Extra Policeman Put on to Keep People from Getting Hurt

Work on the actual separation of the grade on the Ann Arbor railroad and the street began Saturday. Already the crossing at Felch street has been raised several feet.

The work will be pushed day and night with different gangs of men. The work has commenced even earlier than was expected.

Two extra policemen have been appointed on our police force, the extra expense of which will be borne by the Ann Arbor railroad. Their work will be to keep the boys off the gravel train and to keep people away from places where they are apt to be injured. The two extra policemen are Bert Gillen and Asa Allen. They commenced work today. One will be on day duty and the other on night duty.

The track is being gradually raised so that the trains over the road may continue to run and the roadbed is being filled in with gravel. After the track has been elevated to the position at which it will remain, the gravel will be removed from the streets and bridges inserted.
