The American Atlas Co., of Chicago sent their men into Washtenaw county last week to begin work upon the neu county atlas. The surveying was beg-un Monday morning. They began on the west side of the county and will make a complete survey of every foot of land in the entire county. The p&ges of the atlas will ba the same size as that of the county atlas published twenty years ago. A full page will be devoted to each township and every parcel of land will be indicated and the owner's name and the number of acres, as well as the location of his residence, given. The villages and cities of the county will be ?iven in blocks, showing the size of the blocks, the width of the street, the namo of the owners and the street numbers. Tho map part of the atlas will be made as complete and accurate as it is possible to get by a work of this kind. Every school house, post-office, church, public highway, cemetery, timber land, swamp land, etc., will be shown. Exact location of every residence in the county, and the owner of same, will also appear. The firm comes very well recommended and will, without doubt, publish a very complete atlas, that has become a verv great necessity. The old one, published twenty years ago, was a g-ood one in its time, but so many changes have taken place within twenty years that at the present time another atlas is greatly needed. We believe that these gentlemen will get up an atlas that will be of great value to Washtenaw county people, and we anticĂ­pate a large sale for J the same.
