Marsiull, August 6 Railroad capi talists at the East are now engaged in investigating tne status of the projected Aiarsnaii, uoiuwater cc uacKinaw Rail road. An examination of records in re lation to right of way, etc., on file in tho counties through which the line Is surveyed is now being made by agents of fiarties. Un Tuesday the records relat ng thereto on file in the Register's Office at this point were examined and it is reported in case of a favorable report resulting from this investigation the line will be constructed and placed in running order within a short time. Hence there is a gleam of nope for the eventual success of this project. We understand the right of way for tho above road was secured as far north as Isabella county, and If the present Investigation as to tho titles, so far as given should prove all right, that the road will bo projected through to the straits with as littlo delay as possible with Cheboygan as tho finale terminus, The proposed route passes through some of tho finest timber land in the state and in addition to this will pass through some of the best farming lands in north ern Michigan.

Report received and ordered placed on file. To the Hon. the Council of the village of Che- ooygan. Gentlemen: In relation to tho suit of J. N. Perry against the village, com menoed May 12th, 1884, I have to say Mr. Perry's counsel has proposed to dis continue the snit without costs if the village will pay the claim amounting to $11.15. Tho question suggests Itself whether it is worth while to litigate a matter where the amount involved is so small, and especially in view of tho fact that Mr. Perry's claim may possibly bo entitled to favorable consideration. Though I am of tho opinion that a tech nical objection may bo made to defeat it, I therefore recommend tho adoption of tho following resolution: lieeolved. That J. N. Perry's claim against the village for services claimed to haye been rendered the village in car ing for and repairing the fire engine, tho recovery of which ho has commenced suit against the village, be audited and allowed at $11.15, and that an order bo drawn in his favor for that sum, pro vided he shall accept the sum in full for all demands against tho village in favor of himself and also of Perrv & Watson. occurring prior to his appointment to the office of member of Board of Water Commissioners, and also that the suit commeneed aeainst the village ha Aim. continued without costs.
