WHERE DUE

--------------------

FOR THE COMPLETION OF THE

SALINE-YPSILANTI ROAD.

--------------------

IT BELONGS TO TWO YPSILANTI

PUBLIC SPIRITED CITIZENS,

GLOVER AND HEMPHILL.

--------------------

The Ypsilanti & Saline electric line

will be opened its full length next

Monday and the business men of Ypsi-

lanti are looking forward to an in-

creased trade through the opening of

the road. At the same time Saline

shows symptoms of being greatly

livened by being brought into closer

contact with the world. in fact it

means an increased population in the

village. The credit for the road un-

doubtedly belongs in much greater

measure than to any one else to Henry

Glover and Robert Hemphill, two

public spirited citizens of Ypsilanti

who have more than once helped the

city in its growth. When the road was

first talked about many of the people

laughed at the idea, but Mr. Glover

and Mr. Hemphill were not to be

daunted. While the people of Ann Ar-

bor were talking they acted. They

secured the franchises, bonded the road

and built it. Mr. Glover has been

heard to say that the completion of the

road was the one thing he was the

most proud of having done for Ypsi-

lanti. And everyone who is conversant

with Ypsilanti affairs knows that Mr.

Glover has done much for the upbuild-

ing of that city.

The city officials of Ypsilanti and

the village officials of Saline are to be

given a junket over the road and a fine

time will undoubtedly be enjoyed on

this occasion.
