Steel Trust Doesn't Want to Have A Large Number of Tenants in Gary, As Official Says That Their
Interest In Affairs Is Reduced to a
far
The United State Steel corporation
will build no more houses In Gary.
That la the Irrevocable decision of the eompaay a result of Ita experleaee ao far In this line of city build-
la.
The derision of the company ttm not made because the houses which hare already been bnllt were not satisfac
tory. They hove served the purpose of setting taa pace for the residents of the city. They ore the models which,
It Is hoped, will be followed by the fu
ture home builders of Gary, but the
company believes It has arone enough In setting the example.
The reason for its action is the fact
that this form of paternalism has prov
en that those who rely on the giant corporation to build their homos rely
on them to keep their lawns in order
and their homes in repair.
Difference Between Owner and Tenant
Captain 11. S. Norton, of the Gary Land company, says that frequently he has sold one of the company's houses to employes of the company, who at
once began to take great pride in the
place and would cut the lawn and care
for the property In a manner that plainly indicated their interest In the
place.
Perhaps the next door neighbor would be merely a tenant of the com
pany. The lawn there would be uncut and the place would be allowed to rapidly run down. The tenants would kick about everything and seemed to
be satisfied with nothing.
The officials of the steel company have learned that the sociolloglcal ef
fect of having a large number of ten
ants in a town is bad. There is no
real personal interest taken in either the home that is rented or in the town
In which It is located.
It is the opinion of Captain Norton
that a town of renting people could never be much of a place for the intest in public enterprises and public Improvements, which Is never as great
as it should be. would be reduced to a
minimum. Houses Gradually Being Sold.
The houses which have already been
built are gradually being sold to the employes of the company. They were built in such large numbers that the company is enabled to sell them at a very moderate figure but when these are sold there will be no more built. It will not be long before the mill wil be opened and there will be opened and there will be a rush of thousands of people Into Gary. Of course, there will be thousands of them who will not be able to find places to live and will have to build homes of their own. Houses will be at a premium and there will be a large overflow of the population of Gary Into the surrounding cities. Of course this will mean a temporary loss, but gradually the demand will be a city of property owners. It is a good thing for the people to know now what to expect and when the time comes, If they find themselves unable to find a. lodging place in Gary, It will be their own fault. Already the Gary Commercial club Is aware of the fact that the problem

Gary Business Men Righteously
Angry at Attitude of Toleston Gun Club.

Presbyterians From All Over Chicago Will Flock to Pretty Suburb For Big Event.
All that is now holding up the construction of the bridge across the Little Calumet river for which the county council recently appropriated $36,500, is a little strip of land 300 feet In length just north of the bridge which the Toleston Gun club refuses to deed to the county. They are the only ones who refuse to give the land to the county for the widening of the street and their action is the subject of wide condemnation on the part of all the business men in the city. Hronlvaj- To He W idened. In order to widen the bridge it was found necessary to widen Broadway south of the bridge, and all of the property owners in order to have this done were willing to give the necessary strip off from their land. When
the Toleston Gun club was approached on this subject, however, they refused to give anything without remuneration. Xow the appropriation stands idle because of their action. In the rainy season the Calumet overflows and makes access to the city an impossibility to the south end. Every minute that the Toleston Gun club hangs on this important move they are doing an injustice to the business men in Gary and particularly thu real estate niea who have holdings in that end. Time C an't lirtnjc 'Km To. One of the hardest boosters of the bridge proposition, T. W. Englehardt. said yesterday that everything had been done to bring the club to time, but
that they had refused to consider anything where the giving of the land away
was involved.

A lengthy program consisting of speeches by prominent Presbyterian ministers from all parts of Illinois, songs, etc., have been prepared and will take up considerable time. The new edifice will be constructed of brick throughout with the exception of the front which will be of Newport . white stone and when completed will stand

Interest outside capital. Safe Investment for Land Company. Whether this will be successful remains to be seen and in a measure the rapidity of the development of Gary will be measured by the degree of success In which this problem is solved. Everybody knows that the purchase of property in the Land company's subdivision is as safe Investment at the prices which the company is now charging for the lots and for this reason there is no excuse for the man who could afford to own his own home to do so. It Is likely, however, that every inducement will be made by the steel company to make It easy for the man
with a little money and a god salary j
to buy and pay for his own home. PILES CURED AT HOME BY NEW ABSORPIIQH METHOD-. . If yon suffer from bleeding.

New York, July 9. The price Charles Scribner's Sons will pay President Roosevelt for his account of his hunt-
M. Hess and ing trip through the African Jugle is
the highest ever given to an author for a work of similar length. Not only will the President receive a lump
sum of between $60,000 and $75,000
PLAN ANOTHER CHANG
Contracts for the erection of the
South Chicago high school and Manual Training school will probably be let some time this month.
The plans and specifications have been drawn up and submitted, and it is likely that bids will be advertised for about the biddle of the month. If they are awarded this month, work will be started immediately upon the tract Just north of Bessemer Park, which has been selected for South Chicago's new educational institute. The selection of another public school site In the vicinity of One Hundred and Third and State streets, is in the hands of a sub-committee of the buildinjj grounds committee. The old frame building, which is now serving as a school. Is entirely inadequate for the large attendance anil another set back is that it is located
to near the stree car racks which keeps the pupils from their studies. The site for this new building will be chosen within a few days and work will be rushed through with all possible speed. The Manual Training school for South Chicago is the greatest need of the city and when once built, will bring South Chicago to the front as an education center of more than ordinary Importance. The new structure, it is estimated, will cost in the close neighborhood of $60,000.
