Will Wait For The City

Gen'l Mgr. Merrill says railway people will in 

New park matter

Will take up the project when council acts - company laying plans to better service

General Manager Merrill, of the D., Y., A.A.&J. electric railway, was in the city Tuesday and was asked what the railway people were likely to do with the proposition to extend their city line to the proposed park to be given to the city by Evart H. Scott. He repealed that the matter had not come to the company in such form that they could give it consideration. Alderman Coon, said Mr. Merrill, presented the plan to me and I suggested that the matter be put in specific form so our people could have something definite to consider and it would be carefully looked into. As soon as the city council puts it up to us in some form for our consideration it will be taken up.

I know, said Mr. Merrill, that Messrs. Hawks and Angus have been considering for some time plans for extending the city line so as to give the people of Ann Arbor better service and ourselves more revenue, but whether this park plan will become a part of this general project cannot be stated until the ground has been carefully gone over, the cost and prospective revenue therefrom and everything involved has been duly considered. But he was sure early attention would be given the matter when it was in definite form.
