ine Doara or trustees held Its reg
ular meeting this afternoon. It was
probably as important a meeting as they have held at any time since first
Gary began to make history. Some of
the real problems that we as a city will
nave to race are beginning to appear and every meeting brings nearer their consideration. Today there came up for discussion a building ordinance. The only thing on the subject hereto is what
Is contained in the Are ordinance. During the coming week the attorney and city engineer will compile a building ordinance that will be, expected to
somewhat meet the needs along that line. An ordinance was adopted making It unlawful to discharge Are arms of any kind within the confines of our city, excepting of course officers of law. This will make possible some needed prosecutions on the part of the police department on account of promiscuous shooting that some of the camps indulge in. Today was the time set for remonstrances on the part of the affected owners of property along the widened part of roadway. No one made objection and the street is now formally opened to and across the Pennsylvania rairoad. The plat of the acreage that Is being subdivided by Messrs Bacon & Ulrich of Chicago, came In from the engineering depart
ment for consideration. The engineer did not recommend its approval and after thorough discussion by the board It was returned with stipulation that
when the land has been placed In the proper condition for acceptance and when the promoters had conformed to certain other requirements, the board would be perfectly willing to approve
the plat.

Automoboiists who have coursed over Indiana considerably have noted a sort of system among the country roads, as if many of them were located originally by some general authority. That Is really the case. Many of the present roads were located, laid out and originally constructed by authority of the legislature long before the socalled era of internal improvements began. This was done as a matter of necessity to furnish means of travel from point to point and promote the settlement of the state. When Indiana was admitted to the Union, in 1816, the road system was very Inadequate and those that existed had been laid out on a haphazard
plan with more reference to private interests than to public convenience. In fact, this was the case generally. America was a country of bad roads, and to a considerable extent still is. When Indiana was admitted most of the roads were mere horse paths. Some of them followed old Indian trails which themselves followed buffalo or other wild animal trails. The Indians had no use for wagon roads, and they never blazed out a road by marking the trees is the whites did. They did not need any marks, but were very poor engineers. One of the first roads in central Indiana was blazed out and apened by
Jacob Whetzell, a pioneer settler of Franklin county, in 1818. In 1825 ie petitioned the legislature to pay him
for making and opening a road from Somerset, in that county, to the bluffs nf White river, seven years before. The
petition was presented by John Cou
rier, representatives of the counties of Marion, Madison, Hamilton and Johnson. It was referred to the committee on roads, which In a few days.
reDorted on it favorably. This road
must have been one of the very earll
est In central lines, but the committee probably thought that as Whetzell had acted in the matter on his own motion
he had no claim on the legislature for
compensation.
In the absence of a general road law
the action of private Individuals or of local authorities, which was often con
flicting and selfish, was entirely inade
quate to meet the demands of the times, simple as these were. This was one of the first subjects to demand the
attention of he legislature and In 1820
It passed an act providing for the per
manent location of certain roads which
were to be maintained permanently.
The act provided for the location of
twenty-three roads, named three com
missioners to locate each one, and pro
vided that after being laid out and
marked by the respective commission
ers "said roads shall be and remain
permanent. Indianapolis News.
