A trip to yesteryear---riding
the trolley from State to Main

By ELAINE FLETCHER
A trolley "trip into the past"
may be in store for local shop-
pers moving between the city's
disjointed and depressed down-
town commerce centers next
summer if a group of private
citizens have their way.
With the antique car already
purchased, the citizen group,
calling itself the Ann Arbor
Street and Railway Museum, is

trolley holds 40 passengers, and

group - "It's very pretty lit up

Though the first phase of their
effort is concentrated on estab-

trolley, Slater envisions an ex-

tension of the line, "so that
eventually people could ride
from the edge of the old west-
side neighborhood to South U
and Washtenaw."
While formal approval of the
project has not been obtained
from the City Council, installa-

Council's approved goals for its
bicentennial commission, says
Slater.
AND WITH the support of the
city Chamber of Commerce,
State Street and Downtown Mer-

Ann Arbor Tomorrow, Slater is
forging ahead with plans for a
