House-moving has become fairly commonplace in Ann Arbor, with residences transferred to make way for new buildings, but seldom are the houses routed through business districts. This one, moved to make way for a parking lot for the Muehlig Funeral Chapel on Fourth Ave., was photographed at a busy campus area intersection, S. State St. and N. University Ave. It was being moved to 259 Crest Ave. Strangely, the house was first transported east, on a selected route, although its destination was on the west side of the city. The route was Liberty to State St., then to Rose St., White St., Stadium Blvd., W. Liberty St. and finally to Crest.

W. H. Black of Belleville was one of a crew of electricians who yesterday put the circles of lights into working order on the 152 "season's greetings" plaques scattered throughout the business districts of the city. The plaques and other decorative material were installed last week on 76 posts by a Grand Rapids firm as part of a Christmas season promotion program financed at a cost of some $2,000 by the Ann Arbor Chamber of Commerce and the Retail Merchants Association.
