Shall The Lake Shore Road Come Into Ann Arbor?

To the Editor of The Register : Sir : - A few years ago the railro&d business of Ann Arbor was of exceedingly pmall amount as compared with the business of other cities of similar size in Michigan. With the advent of the Toledo road a marked increase was at once feit, and the increase has steadily grown. Today the business of the Michigan Central is far larger than when it monopolized the whole, while the Toledo road requires upward of 20 men to do its local business. A pair of antiquated horses usad to do all of the car shifting in the M. C. yard, while now a switch engine is employed in each yard. The passenger business of the city has increased at a similar rate and the question today is, if we shall rest content with what we have, or press forward another step toward making Ann Arbor a railroad point of importance. The Lake Shore road desires to come into Ann Arbor. Do our citizens care to have it come ? Is there enough enterprise in the city to make the discassion of this matter throagh the business men's association worth while ? Will our newspapers take hold of the matter or shall we take anotlier rest from the weariness caused by doing nothing? XX
