CARETAKER TO LOOK
AFTER FARMERS TEAMS

Realizing that it is difficult for
the farmers wives to get down to
the hitch yard back of Fales livery
barn, city officials have arranged
to have a man stationed at the
corner of Pleasant and Main
streets on Saturday afternoons to
receive teams and take them to
the hitch racks for the ladies. The
officer will also 90 to the racks and
get the teams when wanted. This
arrangement will be continued
during the times the streets are
being improved.
When the women drive to the
city, therefore, they may have
their horses taken to the hitch
yards and taken care of and also
returned to them by a competent
man and without any inconven-
ience to them. Just drive to the
corner of Main and Pleasant
streets and a man will be in wait
ing. If he is not there just on the
miuute it will be because he has
just taken another team to the
racks. If you wait only a very
few minutes he will be back and
take the same care Of you.
Then when you want to return
home just notify the caretaker
and he will get your rig promptly.
Every rural resident should feel
perfect freedom in accepting this
service. 1t is given free and is
done to assist in making condi-
tions better while the street i'm
proving is being done.

PLAN NEW DEPOT
FOR BELD|NG IN
THE NEAR FUTURE
PERE MARQUETTE RAILROAD
COMPANY MAY PURCHASE
EXTRA LAND
ADEQUATE WALKS ALONG
TRACKS PART OF PLAN
Proposed Plans For Basement, Steam
Heat More Parking
Space

Tentative plans are we'll under way
which may give to this city new pas
senger depot at the Pere Marquette
railroad. j. l.. Hayes of Saginaw,
division superintendent, A. r. De-
wees, division engineer and w. s.
Bake, real estate and tax commission
er, were in the city last Thursday con-
ferring with Secretary Gunsolus of
the Board of Commerce and r. H.
Hall, president of the board relative
to the proposed Improvement.
1t is proposed TO purchase the two
lots just west of the present station
building of Mrs. A. f. Weter and use
them in the new improvement. The
plans which have been drafted, call
for the moving of the present build
ing to a point half way between
Bridge and Pleasant streets. A sub
stantial addition may be built to 1t
and the whole interior of the building
remodeled and modernized. A base
ment may be placed under the build
ing and steam heating plant INSTALL
ed.
The tracks may be shifted to the
north, taking the present team track
that now extends between the railroad
tracks. This will give more room in
front of the passenger depot. The
whole walk, fourteen to twenty-five
feet in width, made of brick
may extend from the west side of
Pleasant street along the tracks to the
west side of Bridge street. This will
allow the east bound trains to stop
with the engines west of Bridge street.
At the same time the whole train will
be parked at the side of good walk
with plenty of room for passengers
mounting and leaving trains. Thus
Bridge street would not be blocked by
the trains as at present.
A brick walk, eight feet in width,
would extend around the new station
on the south, and a drive would be
constructed to approach the station
from the east on Depot street and
circle around a large flower bed near
the present site of the station.
According to the proposed agree
ment the Pere Marquette officials, the
Board of Commerce and the owners
of the property. the land would be
purchased by the former company at
$4,000. one-half of which would be
raised by subscription. The ground
would be used for station purposes as
outlined above and for no other pur-
pose.
The proposed station, when COM
pleted would be modern in every
way, with a good baggage room,
steam heat, ladies and gentlemen's
waiting rooms and ample platform ac-
commodations to handle the local tra-
ffic in the best of shape.
The Board of Commerce officials
hope that an agreement will be reach
ed within few days that will see the
elimination of the proposed plans.
