Ann Arbor Railroad Will Build One

---

OVER CO.'S DRIVEWAY

---

Company Would Not Accept Entry-way from Liberty Street Offered by the Railroad

---

The Ann Arbor Fruit & Vinegar Co. will have a right of way across or under the Ann Arbor railroad tracks. 

It will be remembered that in the suit of the Vinegar Co. against the railroad the complaints contended that for years they had enjoyed the use of a right of way alongside the Michigan Milling Co.'s mill and across the railroad property and that it was the purpose of the defendants to erect and embankment that would destroy this right to the great damage of the complaints. In the decision of the court the rights of the Vinegar Co. were admitted but it was suggested that the railroad make arrangements to give the company another entry way that would be as good as the one destroyed.

In pursuance of this suggestion the railroad purchased a strip of land of John B. Eibler, on the west side of the tracks, running from Liberty street to the Vinegar works and tendered it to the company in lieu of the driveway from First street. The company, however, refused to accept this and Friday the railroad company commenced driving piles for a bridge at the old driveway and the Vinegar Co.'s rights will be preserved.
