Mr. Fitzgerald said yesterday that he and John Powers and Chicago were planning to erect several buildings at once.

was the best thing that could possibly have happened for that property. These saloons have been allowed to come Into the city and have dominated this territory until the price of property has almost remained stagnant. Desirable persons would not build in the vicinity of these places, except on Broadway and the saloon question was getting very serious. Now, however, when the ban of the remonstrance law Is lifted from Gary and the saloons again apply for licenses, hat class of men will be barred, and they hope to keep this section of the crty as clean or cleaner than any other.
