SURGEONS APPoNTED.-The Pittsburgh,
Fort Wayne & Chicago Railway Company,

TOLEDO, ANN ARBoR & HOLLY R. R.-A
correspondent of the Detroit Post writing
from Ann Arbor, in relation to the pro-
posed railroad from Toledo to Holly and
giving a report of a meeting held at that
place TO further the project, says:
The question of a direct railroad commu-
n~ication between the State of Ohio and the
lumber and salt regions of Michigan, by
way of a railroad from Tolelo to Saginaw,
has agitated the people of Toledo and
Northern Ohio, and the people of Monroe,
Washtenaw, Oakland and Livingston coun-
ties, in this State, more or less for the last
twelve or fifteen months. The most feas
ible route, all things considered, would seem
10 be from Toledo to Holly, on the line of
the Detroit and Milwaukee Railroad,
through Dundee, Saline, Ann Arbor, Whit
more Lake and Milford connecting at
Holly with the Saginaw Railroad, which is

through more important places, and a
richer section Of country than any other
which is proposed. The country for the
most part is level, and would require but
little grading, and this reute would be
nearly an air line.
A large and enthusiastic meeting was held
in this city, or Saturday afternoon, April
TIN, TO consult with regard 10 the advanta-
ges of sUch a road, and TO take measures to
secure its passage through this city. The
meeting was organized by electing Hon. B.
F. Granger, Chairman, and L. Davis, Seere-
tary.
The advantages of the road and feasibil-
ity of the route through Saline and Ann
Al bor, in preference to the Ypsilanti route,
were ably discussed.
The people of Saline, Dundee, and the
southern part of the route are earnestly at

or $50, 600 of stock, and will increase their
subscriptions to at least 500, 600. All that
seems necessary to secure he route is for
the people of Ann Arbor to go earnestly to
work and raise their proportion of the stock
necessary. The people of Ann Arbor pres
ent were called upon TO say whether they
could raise 500, 600 for the object, and the
vote was unanimous in favor of raising that
amount. Several men of capital were
present, and pledged their earnest cooper
alton in the work.
Messrs. A. De Forest, A. J. Sutherland, 8.
Dean, J. W. Hunt, 0, NJ. Martin. ]. McMa-
hon, D. Henning, c. Kraft, and B. F. Gran
ger were appointed a committee to solicit
subscriptions for the stock, and take meas
ures to interest the people between this
place and Holly in the enterprise.
The greatest enthusiasm prevailed, and
the meeting adjourned TO meet in this city
IN Saturday, April Dist, to hear the report
of the committee. The farmers throughout
the county are awake to their own interests,
and the project Will doubtless succeed.
