GARY NEWS

Perry Ulrich and Walter R. Ross attended the nifceting of the board of trustees in the interest of their new subdivision. Walter Sasadlnskt, who is building the largo hotel in "Washington street south of the Michigan Central, spent yesterday with friends in South Chicago. On the 26th of this month the Michigan Central railroad begins the sale of a ten-ride commutation ticket between Gary and Hammond for SI. 25. Tho will make the service much more attractive, the present rate of 30 cents a ride being exhorbitant. Tho Bormann brothers expect to begin building operations at an early date on their corner lot at Tenth avenue and Broadway. They are having It filled in now and have already had plans prepared for the building. They insist that the other claimant must look to Castleman & Jones and not to them for satisfaction. Suit will be begun in the superior court at Hammond by "Walter S. Ross to quiet title to the property recently acquired from L. A. Bryan by the Bacon, Ulrich people. The suit names some two thousand defendants and involves some fifteen hundred lots. It is probably the largest one of its kind that has ever been filed in Lake county. The orange peeler which Nash & Dowdlo are moving from the North Side to the east part of the town site for work on the main sewer was pulled across the Lake Hhore tracks in about fifteen minutes Saturday morning. It was moved down Broadway to opposite the postoftice when Bloome & Company's men objected to its going further down Broadway on account of the danger to the street and sidewalk. Matters promised to be interesting for awhile but the police department ordered the machine moved off the street and it is now traveling across the woods to Massachusetts street whore there is no paving.

The board of trustees held its regular meeting Saturday afternoon with a large number of interests represented. After the routine preliminaries the board listened to Mayor Darrow and Mr. Nolan of Lal'orte as they set forth reasons why the board should 1 grant the Chicago, Goshen & South Bend Klectrlc railway a fifty-year franchise through Gary. This proposed line, commonly referred to as the "HotAir Line", is a part of the promised New York-Chicago Air Line system. After careful consideration the matter was referred to the engineering department with directions to the franchise hunters to furnish the department a complete map of the proposed line so that the board might act more intelligently in tho matter. The board then turned its attention to the BaconIJlrich people who came to secure the approval of tWe plat of their Broadway addition to Gary. The board had given a tentative approval at the former meeting but would not sign the plat, giving as their reason that they wished to have the streets and alleys . graded by the owners before accepting the plat. Mr. Ulrich had sent in an opinion by Bruce & Bruce of Hammond. This opinion set forth that the owners could not be compelled to do any grading of streets and alleys and intimated that if the board should try to insist upon this it could be mandated to approve the plat. The policy of requiring platters of property to grade up streets and alleys to the grades established by the city, is a new departure on tho part of municipal authorities, and those who would make capital out of our growth and development do not take kindly to the proposition. The entire matter was refer

red to the attorney after listening to an argument by M. M. Bruce on the subject. Tho audience gathered the impression that any attempt to man d;ite the trustees would more than like ly prove a boomerang of no small di mension. Tin? board then directed that the Pennsylvania company cpen its crossing at Broadway or it would be done for them. TOLLESTON NEWS Otto O. norma n was in Hammond Friday on business. Ir.
