The Arm Arbor Engine and Boiler Works started last August. They have made one boiler for G. W. Bullis & Co., and one for their own use, as well as a tank 35 feet long and GO inches in diameter, for the Ann Arbor Gas Works. They are now making a six-horse power engine, and when fairly working expect to make three kinds ot engines. This six-horse power engine is probably the first one ever made entirely in Ann Arbor. Another engine that they are now making was invented by Dr. Krehbiel. It is said to be a new kind, and is simplicity itself. It can be used at 12J, 25, or 50 horse power. The model has been sent to the patent office in Washington. The engine will probably be completed in two or three weeks, when a public exhibition will be made of it. It is already sold to a party in Kalamazoo. The proprietors have high hopes of building up a large industry in Ann Arbor making this new engine.
