ANN ARBOR ALLOWED TO
ABANDON NEW RAVEN ROAD

A fight of several years duration
for permission to abandon its spur
track to the New Haven coal mines,
was won by the Ann Arbor railroad
company a few days ago when the
state public utilities commission is
sued an order giving the permission
desired. The order states that the
commission. after due hearings and
investigation, is convinced that the
line could not be operated without
loss under present circumstances, and
that it would require a great outlay
of money to put the line in condition
for use. This outlay would not be
justified, the commission finds.
The railroad made application sew
eral years ago for permission to
abandon the road, but objections were
made by the coal company, sugar
company and the city, and the mat
ter has been hanging fire since.
