ANOTHER PAPER ROAD. This One Is Supposed to Pass Through Kankakee Tp. Gary, Ind., Oct. 10.—The board of public works at an adjourned session today granted a fifty-year street railway franchise to the Indianapolis, Chicago Meridian railway, of wtiich John A. Shafer, 824 Knights of Pythias building, Indianapolis, is the president and general manager. It is expected that the council will ratify the contract at its next meeting, October 16. The company gets rights in ~one street. Seventeenth avenue, giving a cross city route, seven miles long, with the western terminus at the Hammond boundary. Entrance to the city in Fifteenth avenue was asked but the Geist Calumet United railway has this street sewed up. According to President Shafer construction work will be started at once on the Gary-Valpa-raiso division. The grant is far superior to the Geist grant, inasmuch as it is for one street, regulates the fare, and provides for the giving and exchange of universal transfers. Unlike the Geist franchise a specific date is set for building, and failure to comply with the terms means forfeiture. A SIO,OOO bond must be put up. Construction must be started in six months, and actual operations inside of eighteen months. The proposed route is from the traction terminal in Indianapolis
