pray TO the Honorable Mayor. Common Coun

| Arbor railroad to build a side track across
| Michigan avenue, for thereasops that we state
|. The Ann Arbor crossing on Michigan is a
dangerous crossing because it is obstructed oy
buildings on the east and west side OF the
| street, making 1t impossible for the people TO
| see the trains until almost on the track and by
putting side track In II would increase this
danger TO the public.
.. We wish TO have Michigan avenue opened
through to Stewart street which would make
this the most desirable way to the south part
OF the city to Oak Hill cemetery without fol-
lowing street car line all the way up and II
this street was allowed to be cut up with side
tracks IL would be pubic ANNOYANCE to have
them switching across that street. The city OF
Owosso having almost u frog pond In the mid
die OF said city and II Michigan avenue was
opened through and this brick yard filled in IL
would make beautiful resident district,
n tAf
g. Michigan avenue Is underlined with water
pipes gas pipes and sewer pipes ADD IL the
same trouble would ariss again that ha, sever
al times happened within Cne last year and
side 6, ack across where this proposed tr Ack Ia
TO be placed tDts street would be obliged to be
closed while the required repairing was going,
