Briggs Forced to Quit Hammond to Find a Home. Hammond has lost one eminently desirable citizen and his family because he was unable to find an eight or nlne-

room bouse or flat at a reasonable rate of rent. Rev. A. T. Brlggs, superintendent of the Hammond district of the Methodist church, last Saturday moved his family and household effects to Valparaiso, where he will make his future home, he having been unable to find desirable quarters in Hammond. He might have bought a suitable home, but he- was not ready to do so at this time. It seems a surprise that In a big city like Hammond there should not have been one eight or nine-room house or fiat at a reasonable rate. In places where this was discussed, it was a fact sadly deplored. Is Hammond a City ( Homes? It was pointed out that Hammond, which, aims to be a community for fine

residences and homes, drawing even the desirable element of the surrounding cities, is at a standstill Insofar as providing living accommodation is concerned. The city of homes among the cities of the Calumet region is a prestige that the city enjoyed because of Its older age, but the dearth of desirable houses and homes was never so apparent as it is In this particular instance. Rev. A. T. Brings and his family came originally from Attica, Ind., coming to Hammond a year ago. Since last June they had stored their household goods and spent the summer at Argus. TO BUILD FINE NEW HOHEJHJIABBHOND Contractor Dickover Will Erect Residence in Homewood To Cost $5,000. Contractor M. A. Dickover is the latest person to announce the building of a fine new home in Homewood. Mr. Dickover has a lot on Ruth street and will build a new $5,000 residence there this fall. The work of excavation will begin at once and Mr. Dickover expects to be In his new home before the New Year is very far advanced. The new home will be of frame construction and will have eight rooms, besides the bath. There are now four houses In the course of construction on Ruth street, and this gives an Idea of how rapidly this district is being built up. Mr. Dickover's house is the fifth, and in the spring there will be several more. liG OF STATE LIUE ST. ASSURED At Least So It Would Seem From Joint Meeting of Boards Yesterday. A most optimistic view can be taken at this time of the progress made for the opening of State Line street. At a meeting of the Hammond board of public works with the West Hammond village trustees yesterday in the Hammond city hall an understandng was reached whereby these two sets of officials will work toerether for the opening of the street. West Hammond and Hammond are equally enthusiastic and they have the advantage in that their side of the street, with a width of thirty-three feet, is open clear to the Grand Calumet river. what is more thev want to see the street paved to the river. A forty foot pavement is proposed, each side to build twenty feet. Hammonds side of the state line is open as far noth as Sibley street, but to stop there would be impracticable and an effort will be made to open it al lthe way through to the river or to Plummer avenue at least. At the next meeting the board will instruct the city attorney and the city engineer to take a hand in the matter. Opposition is. of course, expected by some abutting property owners, but the entiment is preponderously in favor of opening. West Hammond Ahead In Undertaking. The West Hammond village board is one step ahead of the Hammond board of public works in that they already have the right of way, whereas Ham mond must first await vacating and possible condemnation proceedings. There Is no doubt in the minds of the members of the board of public works that they can do their share, in opening and In paving. Court action here may be resorted to only as far as the appointment of appraisers goes, but in West Hammond, according to the Illinois law, the matter of pavement must be decided by a court. West Hammond, too, has promised to begin proceedings at once to bring the thing to a head so that the street can be paved next year if possible. Once the street is paved West Hammond will ask to share in the street lighting, now provided by Hammond. This city's lights are all set 150 feet to the east along the statu line, but the officials of West Hammond yesterday expressed their willingness to pay half for the lighting if the lights are placed on the state line. Good House at Towles. An audience that practically filled the Towle Opera House assembled last night to witness the first performance of Powell & Cohan's Musical Comedy company presenting "My Queen In Calico." The company consists of about twenty people, including a lively pony ballet, and headed by Carlo Portello and Halton Powell. The organisation made a most pleasing impression last night, and the engagement should prove a profitable one. It is tne first time Hammond has had musical comedies at 10. 20 and 30 cents. Miss Portello made an instantaneous hit with a unique delineation of art eccentric character and by her clever
