Hon. John T. Rich, state railroad commi8sioner, was in the city last Friday to look over the street crossings of ;he Toledo, Ann Arbor and North Michigan railroad, on tha invitation of be common council. He desided thata ength of a rail must be cut off of the side track of the road on south Main street which was put in for the use of Just's lumber íyard, so that the cars upon the siding would not be upon the street and so obstruct the view of the ;rack. Manager Harry Ashley stated that in the spring,he would remove the side track and run it into the lumber yard at a different angle so as to still ess obstruct the view of the track. Mr. fust, it is understood, will remove the troublesome lumber pile which also prevents seeing approaching trains. On Washington and VVilliaja strefcts cars were found standing partially on the street while being unloaded. Commissioner Rich called the attention of the authorities to this and said that it must ie stopped. Manager Ashley requested hat if there should be any more trouble about the street crossings his attention should be called to it. The interests of the road and the city in this respect are indeed mutual. The city needs to protect its inhabitants and the road oughttosave ïtself f rom loss by accidents.
