DISAGREEMENT OF THE STOCKHOLDERS

AS THE REASON WORK ON BOLAND LINE STOPPED

Is What the Dexter Leader Says--Jackson Papers Say Line to be Run to Chelsea at Once

The stopping of work on the Boland Line is giving rise to much speculation. The Dexter Leader has a new reason for their stopping. It says:

"The work of constructing the J., A. A. & D. electric line between here and Ann Arbor was ordered stopped yesterday by the officials of the company and the contractor has stored his tools and taken off the teams and men. The fencing gang wiwl complete the stringing of the wire on the posts now set. The order to quit work came without warning and caused much surprise, although it is thought to be only temporary and the operations will be resumed at an early date.

The company had decided to complete the line between Grass Lake and Dexter this fall, and the supplies are on hand to do it. It is not known whether the order to stop work will affect this plan or not.

The reason for stopping the work Is reported to be a disagreement among the eastern Stockholders.

The Jackson Press says the line is to be completed from Jackson to Chelsea in a few weeks and says:

"The "Boland" Street car people have determined that it is impracticable to complete their line to Ann Arbor this season, as they hoped to be able to do. They have, accordingly, taken off the construction gang with has been working west of Ann Arbor, and have put the men to work to open up the line between Grass Lake and Chelsea. It is stated that the necessary material is now on the ground, and it is said to be likely that cars will be running to Chelsea within a very few weeks. Work on the line to Ann Arbor will be resumed in the spring. There is declared to be no intention to abandon the work; it has only been found to be impracticable to open the line to Ann Arbor this fall, and it was deemed better to have cars running to Chelsea than to leave the whole stretch of road unfinished.

It is also said that the company will have the First street line reconstructed this year. New rails have been laid between Morrel street and the end of the line, and word has been received that the new rails for the section between Main and Morrel Streets are now being rolled. They will be laid as soon as they are received, and the most disreputable piece of track in the history of railroading will then be a matter of history. The company has also recently put about half a mile, all told, of new rails on the Main street line.
