and Others Concerned
I wish to ask your approval to
put IN addition to garage of 30 feet.
The present garage is on Lot 179
and will extend south on Lot $50.
The use of the new addition will
be used as storage. I was refused
permit by Mr.. Liddle, City En-
gineer, reason-it would be classed
as an industrial building in a resi-
dental area and to my knowledge
1t would not be abusing or interfer-
ing Of neighbors and property own
ers around. It would he an asset to
the community as ! see 1t.
Thank you for your cooperation.

Dear Sir:
In reply to your letter Of April
18th, and in confirmation to our
conversation of May 4th, regarding
the fare charged on our Wyandotte-
Middle Belt Line, via Biddle and
Goddard Road.
After checking into this fare struc-
ture I find this same fare has been
effective on this line since at least
November 1893. This fare was made
effective by the old jitney operators,
as / understand.
The route is broken in three
zones:
Eureka and Biddle to Goddard
and Biddle
Goddard and Biddle to Goddard
and Dix Road
Goddard and Dix to Goddard
and Middle Blet
Each of these three zones carries
the privilege of sc fare. under the
privileges extended to the company
by the Michigan Public Service
Commission.
I am attaching herewith a copy
of our tariff as approved by the
Commission and as operated by the
company.
Sincerely yours.

Lines, Inc.
