OTHER PROMINENT FEATURES.
Like some other towns of Michigan, Ann Arbor contains fountains of health in the shape of mineral springs, whose waters are highly impregnated with iron, sulphur. magnesia and other minerals.
The Toledo & Ann Arbor railroad is now doing a large business between those cities, atfording another direct route to the centers of trade and commerce. The ex- tension is expected to be completed to Pontiac and cars running in spring of 1881, which will afford connection with several railroads north.
This city especially prides itself on its large and handsome court house. erected at a cost of about 280,000.
The fire department consists of one steamer, three fire companies, and two first-class hand engines with 1,600 feet of hose, and a hook and ladder company. Small reservoirs in the central portion of the city have furnished the principal sup- ply of water for fire purposes, but the U'ni- versity grounds have been supplied with water for all purposes from a neighboring spring, which furnishes an abundant sup- ply and a large supplies. The water is conveyed through pipes into a reservoir having a capacity of 1,500 barrels, which stands on the University grounds adjoining the laboratory.
