BOAED OF EDUCATION HOLDS MEETING AT GARY. Annexntlon of Clark Meann Addition to Already I.nrne Problem that Confront Superintendent Wirt -Latter Must Xow Rearrange III Work. The board of education held its regular meeting last evening with T. IT. Cutler, the secretary absent. Mr. Cutler moves over into his house on tho west side next week and expects to be able to make a better attendance record than hitherto. Tho regular amount of routine work was taken care of and some time spent discussing the problem of heating the new buildings. It is expected that by the next meeting another addition will have been made to the already large problem of the board in the shape of the annexation of Clark. Tills means that Superintendent Wirt will have to rearange his work to take care of the school situation at that place. There is no doubt but that it will prove far better for all concerned, inasmuch, as it will afford a ready means for the children at Pine and prevent the Clark children from being carted over to Toleston, which would have been the case had Clark remained out of Gary. There is a comfortable tworoom building at Clark that will answer the present needs very nicely. TRUSTEES CONSIDER SITES. Locations for I'ollce and Fire .Station., Subject of Discussion; Otiier .Matter ip. Gary, Ind.. Kept 14. K. K. Knapp, of the law firm of Knapp, ifaynie & Campbell, .spent yesterday afternoon here in conference with the board of trustees relative to the old road through to Toleston on the north side of the Michigan Central and the crossing over the Pennsylvania at the extension of Eleventh avenue. Several other matters of mutual interest were also taken up including a Bite for a proposed city hall and one extra site for a police station and fire department station. Suggestions were received and given freely on both sides and every Indication is for an early selection of something eminently desirable for the both purposes. Saloon Rumor Discredited. There has been a persistent rumor afloat that the Chicago, Lake Shore & South Bend interurban people had leased ground on their right of way where they cross Broadway, Just south of the Lake Shore tracks, to a man from a nearby town for a term of years, on which he is to erect a saloon building. No one can be found who can substantiate the talk and Inasmuch as the Interurban people do not as yet hold fee title, having merely signed a contract to purchase, there Is no likelihood of any such deal being consummated. Briefa. Dr. Theodore B. Templin leaves this evening for a three days' visit In Pittsburg, Pa. John McCormlck returned from his trip to Toluca, 111., last evening. While there he arranged for the leasing of his property, and also for completing the moving of the family up here. City Engineer A. P. Melton Is preparing specifications for the improvement of Madison and Washington streets. Bids are to be received by the board at an early date. The intention Is to let the contract so as to get most of the work done yet this fall, if possible. The offices of the town clerk and C. O. Holmes & Co., moved this morning Into the up-stairs offices in the McCormlck building and are now permanently located there. The board of town trustees will meet at these offices until some other more suitable Quarters are ready. Klelnsmlth, the news and notion dealer. In the south part of town, has put up a unique sign that arrests everyone's attention. It designates the place as headquarters of "The Tribe of K." Upon inquiry the curious observer finds that "K" is for Klelnsmlth, there being nine of them In all. The Thomas Thee company, railroad contractors who are putting in the concrete abuttments for the different roads where they are to make an overhead crossing over Broadway just south of the river, have completed the second abuttment for the first Baltimore & Ohio track. Material in the way of stone, cement, rails and structural steel, is arriving constantly and the work is being pushed rapidly.
