The plans of the new company which will opĂ©rate the street car line in Ann Arbor are to put in both loops in the south eastern part of the city. One of these is from Washtenaw ave. down Hill to E. University, E. University to Monroe, Monroe to State and State to William. The other loop goes around by the fair ground and back to Foreot ave., thencĂȘ to Packard st. This will give a splendid service to that part of the city and materially increase the revenues of the street cars. Mr. Clerque, the attorney ior the eastern bondholders, who was in Ann Arbur several days this week, ftaid to the Times that cars had already been partially contracted for in order that they could be put on just as soon as the final arrangements had been made. In order to get the cars as soon as possible the old arrangement with the Electric Light Co. would probably be eontinued until the company could erect a power house, and in case the Electric Light Co. would give reasonable terms a'contract would be made j so that a separate power house would not be necessary. Mr. Clerque was very enthusiastic i about Ann Arbor. He said that he had ! traveled extensively about this country and had not seen a city anywhere the size of Ann Arbor which evideneed such a solid growth and general condition of prosperity. While Ann Arbor had few ostentatious houses the general average was far above the common run which was a far better sign. He predicted a continued healthy growth for the city. He was very much surprised, however, that the sewer system was not completed. Mr. Clerque believes that the Ann Arbor street car system under good management will be a paying investment and it is the intention to give t good management. The road will be under the charge of a competent superintendent and every effort will be made to give the public such convenences it shall want. - Daily Times.
