with view of selecting the most prac

trade Of which must soon rival that of
any other portion of Michigan.

the chain Of communication which must
ultimately be made 10 subserve the
business interests Of this city. And the
importance of connecting the terminus
Of that road with the Detroit and Mil
waukee road cannot be overlooked by
any sagacious business man. 1t would
open direct communication with one OF
the richest and most productive dis.
tricts in the State district too, which
