Where Will Boland Line

Ask for Entrance into the City from the West

---

OPTIONS HAVE LAPSED

On Ann Street -- Third Ward Residents Want it to Come over Miller Avenue

---

Now that it is definitely decided that the Boland line is to be completed through Ann Arbor, speculation is rife, especially in the Third ward as to what route will be chosen to come into the city from the west. It is well known that when the line was first projected parties representing Mr. Boland either purchased or secured options on land lying on a line that would extend from Ann street and that the franchise from the city was granted for a line that would come up this line, over the Ann Arbor railroad and up W. Ann street.

Now, however, there are many people who believe, or pretend to, that when the line is actually built it will come in over Miller avenue. When asked if they have direct information as to the intentions of the Boland people they only look wise and point to the fact that Mr. Boland has allowed the options he held to lapse. Furthermore they say that Mr. Boland would hardly care to cross the Ann Arbor road, building an expensive viaduct himself, when he can come down Miller avenue and go under the bridge that the railroad will put up at its own expense. This is rather flimsy evidence upon which to base an assertion as to where the road will run, it is true, but it will be rather hard to convince many Third warders that the road will not come in on Miller avenue until the engineers set the stakes elsewhere.
