1 CROWN POINT NEWS Eight of Way Secured. Through7 the efforts of Postmaster Farley as representative of the Business Men's association, the right-of-way for the Crown Point-Gary Interurban line has been secured, practically, free of cost. The heirs of the Berry estate are the latest among the proposed line, to ' come forward with valuable contributions o right-of-way and Mr. Farley is confident of securing the entire route with small cost. With the exceptions of the Berry , estate, the Pratt land and a piece belonging to "Will J. Davis, are the only pieces to be secured. Mr. Seaman, promoter of the proposed line,; is in New York now financing the steam roai which goes through here to Gary but he is in close touch with our officials here and is anxious to settle affairs so that he' can figure on the constructive details. Resigns as Clerk. It is reported that George Bliss handed in his resignation as town clerk at the meeting of the town board last Monday night, but the report could not be verified.

Galliver, train auditor for the Chicago & Alton until the discontinuance of the office by that road, has been selected by the Pere Marquette as their agent in East Chicago. Mr. Galliver is no stranger either to the road or the duties of his new position as he was at one time their agent at Clare, Mich. Being affable and of prepossessing address there seems no doubt of his future success here. W. B. Loucks, chief clerk and cashier under the old management, will go to the Pere Marquette in his former capacity. Mr. Loucks needs no introduction as his long connection with the road at this point is sufficient evidence of his capability and merit. His readiness to oblige has made him popular with all the patrons of the road. The, roads will continue to occupy the same offices for the present and it is only the growing interests of both which induced the Pere Marquette to make the change.
