CAR FRANCHISE OFFERED THREE CITIES SPURNED Hammond, East Chicago and Whiting Proposal Withdrawn. By Timet Special HAMMOND, Ind., April 4.—Offer t/i Oaiomct Railways, Inc., Insull dominated concern, for a franchise to operate the street railway systems of Hammond, Whiting and East Chicago, has been withdrawn, bringing to a close a phase of a controversy which has produced several sharp conflicts. On submission of the franchise proposal to the works boards of the cities, those of Hammond and Whiting recommended adoption to the respective city councils. However, the Hammond council twice voted down the offer, and that of Whiting took no action. The East Chicago board has never acted on the proposal. Street car lines in the cities were taken over in 1929 when a syndicate of business men purchased the property at a mortgage foreclosure sale. Later Calumet Railways was incorporated and the propertypassed to it. Morse Dellplain, president of Calumet railways, in announcing withdrawal of its proposal, said in part: “The proposed franchise offered the only basis on which we could do the things we would like to do for the community in the way of porvlding local transportation service. Tills region, if it is to develop must have adequate local transportation. The lack of it is seriously handicapping the entire community to an extent which I fear the genera] public does not fully realize.”

SALARY CHECKS OF ANDERSON'S MAYOR HELD UP Treasurer Retaliates for SI,OOO Yearly Cut in Her Pay. By Timet Special ANDERSON, Ind., April 4.—Because her salary for acting as custodian of city funds was reduced SI,OOO, Miss Marcia H. Barton, Madison county treasurer, refused to countersign J. H. Mellet’s salary check for the last two weeks of March, and has filed a mandate suit in Madison superior court seeking an order requiring the treasurer to countersign the check. The mayor’s salary is $4,000 a year, payable in amounts of $166.66 on the first and sixteenth days of each month. Miss Barton announces that her attorney is preparing a suit in which an effort will be made to enforce payment to her of a salary of $3,000 a year for acting as city treasurer instead of $2,000, which was appropriated by the city council last September. The treasurer's contention is that the second class city law under which Anderson operates provides that salaries of officials be fixed for a period of four years and can neither be increased nor decreased during that period. Present salaries were fixed by the outgoing city council in 1929, the treasurer’s being reduced a year later because, it was explained, her duties were materially lightened by transfer of the Barrett law collection department from the court house to the city hall. Refusing to accept this explanation, Miss Barton says the reduction voted in her salary was an act of political reprisal fostered by the mayor.
