Where Is ST. Louis now?

Last Monday morning the officials at
the d., L. d n. depot in st. Louis as
sumed complete control of all railroad
business in that city. At Ithaca all
railroad business passed into the hands
of the Ann Arbor people. There is also
Il we'll founded rumor that the Ann
Arbor company has purchased the Ithaca
stub branch Of the ID l.. d n. between
here and Ithaca, and that by the first of
January the through freight and pas
senger trains on the Ann Arbor will run
TO Ithaca direct, leaving out the station
at st. Louis. 1t is also limited that ac-
commodation freight and passenger
trains will run between Alma and
Ithaca as before. With the new manu-
factories and other business enterprises
which are sure to come in a few short
years owing to the remarkable good
water power and shipping facilities of
our little village, and with the location
Of the Ann Arbor car shops at this
place, thing nearly certain, with the
county buildings located here and the
Rockafellow's steel plants, Alma will
some day be- the metropolis of Central
Michigan having as it outskirts the
hamlets of st. Louis and Ithaca.

No More Injunction.

Some time ago the Ann Arbor Rail
road Company contemplated "A change
in their railroad so that instead of max
ing the curve around by st. Louis, they
might run through from Alma to Ithaca
direct Just as all necessary arrange
ments were completed for the change,
the city of st. Louis secured an injunc-
ton on the road. After some delay the
suit finally came To trial during the
month Of August, Judge Dabou prefer
ing not to sit in judgment OH the case
invited in Judge II. ii. Person, of the
Lansing Circuit, who heard the case.
Decision was not rendered on the suit
until a few days since, and perhaps
the peace and tranquility of minds of
the people of ST. Louis would have been
more undisturbed if it had never been
given. The following decision which Is
adverse TO the city emphasizes the facts
That the suit was not brought by the
proper parties, as a suit to enforce pub
lie duty must be begun under authority
of the State Attorney General, while
this one had not such sanction And
further that the contract was not of its
self lein upon the road, and that st.
Louis is not in any sense the terminus
Of the road.
The decision runs as follows:
The Circuit Court for the County CT
Gratiot in Chancery.
James Henry, ct III.
VS..
Ann Arbor Railroad Co.
| have given this case very careful
consideration.
| do not think it can be considered a
suit TO enforce public duty. 1t has
not the character nor is the bill filed by
the proper party.
1t cannot be maintained for the spe-
citic performance of "A private contract.
The contract was not, of itself as shown
10y the bill, lein upon the road And
the defendant was not the party max
ing it. The bill does not treat st. Louis
as a terminus, but the reverse.

Thus perishes another of those fond
hopes of our neighbor city. Only few
more weeks and she will be city OF
one highway of commerce. Her people
must come to Alma first if they would
visit along the lines Of the Ann Arbor.

ST. Louis Wins.

A decision was handed down last Fri
day by the supreme court in the case of
the st Louis supervisors who were re-
fused seats by the board of supervisors,
because of defect in the blanket char
ter law of 1895 providing for four super
visOrs in fourth class cities, which head
ST. Louis comes under, giving them
their seats. The decision may be i'll ac-
cordance with the law but it is certainl {
an injustice to the tax payers of the
county. St. Louis with IA population of
:, 200, represented by four supervisors,
while several townships in the county
with much larger population, with only
one. We are informed that the average
neutrality-suspicious. is about 1900. Thus,
in addition to an injustice on the other
townships, the county is compelled to
pay the expense of three extra supervisors
and for what purpose. The case was ably
fought by Mr. Leet and assisted by Mr.
Stone, but the case was so decided.
