Road north of Saline to be resurfaced by city and county
The city plans resurfacing a portion of North Ann Arbor street and will seek the County Road Commission’s aid to repair the south approach to the New York Central tracks and the crossing beyond the city limits. Estimated cost runs two to three thousand dollars, with Street Commissioner Wolfin aiming to cut it substantially through Ray Daniels and his crew doing preliminaries.
