Michigan Central improvements.

The Michigan Central company has
let two contracts which will involve the
expenditure of millions of dollars. One
is for the greater part of the road WORK
for the present season. This includes
double tracking which is now built as
far as Marshall. The first stretch to be
built this season will be from Marshall
to Augusta, distance of % miles. The
road bed will be changed at Wheatfeld
station between Marshall and Battle
Creek. The curve in the track at this
point will be Strengthened and the track
shortened. 1t is hoped that the double
tracking will be extended to Lawton this
season.
The company has also let the contract
for another big job, which will mean the
expenditure of a million and a half of
dollars in the two years before it is com

hill, which has always been "a bugbear to

avoid this hill the road will be detected
to the north about two miles. Work on
these two contracts will begin at once.
