Ik SMITH GETS PAViHGJGOflTRAGT Gary City Council Lets Job for Improvement . of Twenty-Third Street.

ADAMS STREET MUST WAIT Technical Flaw Compels Delay ' In This Work Brick Will Be Used. The city council met last night In special session for the purpose of letting two street paving contracts which had been laid over until this session. The contract was awarded for the pavement of Twenty-third street, and as no other business could come before them the meeting was a short one. The contract for the pavement of Twenty-third street was let to S. A. Smith, the contract price being 8,968.38. The only ofher bidder was the Gary Construction company, whose bid was $9,616.22. The street which extends from the Pennsylvania tracks south to Twenty-fifth street will be paved with macadam. The contract for the pavement of Adams street could not be awarded because of a technicality of the law which the council had overlooked. The statutes provide that at the time the , bids are opened the kind of material which they intend to use shall be specified and then the contract can bet let' ten days from that date. On the Adams street work, however, the council failed to do this, and City Attorney Harvey J. Curtis3 Informed the body that it would be necessary to wait ten days longer before the contract could be awarded. All of the council were in favor of brick as well as the property owners, but they neglected to pass a resolution to this effect. This street will be paved from Madison street on the west to Delaware street on the east. MANITOBA GRAIN GROWERS MEET Brandon, Man., Dec. 14.

When seen today regarding 'the leasing of his theater next Monday night for the purpose of holding an athletic carnival, Manager Joseph F. Kuechler declared that this was a fact, but that so far as he knew there would be no attempt made to stage a prize fight. Mr. Kuechler stated: "I have leased the theater to Barney Green, secretary of the Gary Athletic club, for that night, and further than that I do not know what their plans are. So far as I know there will be no attempt made to hold a prize fight, but if they do it is no concern of mine as the theater will be in their hands. The authorities will probably attend to that feature of the event. Martin Will Be There. The Chicago papers speak of the affair as a ten round no decision bout. Just exactly what they mean by a bout is not known, but It is presumed that they mean a fight. Chief of Police J. D. Martin will be at'the ringside, however, when the athletic carnival la pulled off and If the affairs looks as If the principals "mean business" he will stop it at once. Mayor Knotts Is strongly opposed to prize fighting.

FOR FEME East Chicago Council Wrestles With Knotty Problem of How to Get 4,595 Out of Bankroll $8,000 in the Hole. (Special to The Times.) -'East Chicago, Ind., Dec. 14. One of the most complicated questions which confronted the council last night was the arithmetical problem of how to draw $4,595 out of a bank roll that is $8,000 worse than nothing. The question came 'up when a motion was made1 by Alderman Andrew O'GIrr authorizing the city, clerk to draw warrants In favor of 5. L. Bondy for $4,500 in payment of the fence, and S5 for the grading required to erect It, around Kosciusko park at 151st and Forsyth tvenue. The matter brought out a lengthy argument which was finally settled by O'Girr, Brezinski, Wleklinski and Orzehowski voting for the measure and Schock, Hudacko and Lewis voting no. Mr. Bondy will get his warrants but will have to wait until the park fund is in a more healthy condition before cashing them, unless he gets some on to discount them. Ask Time on Contract. F. G. Proudfoot presented a communication to the council requesting an extension of time for the completion of the 14Sth street sewer and the laterals thereto, until June 15. The contractor explained that owing to the condition of the weather it was a physical Impossibility to continue the work at this time. His request was granted. The engineer's estimates for the improvements of Michigan and Block avenues were accepted. The assessment roll for the Pennsylvania avenue Improvements was accepted but that of Watling street deferred until the street Is put in shape. All the bills signed by the finance committee were accepted. ' Last night was the time set for" remonstrances on the assessment roll of the Alder street big sewer and Attorney Smith, representing the Lake Shore, C, I. & S. and Indiana Harbor Belt railroads was present to file objections on the part of his clients. He called on Civil Engineers Sartorlous and Crissey, representing the C, I. & S. and I. II. B. and Lake Shore roads, respectively, to explain why their companies were not getting as much benefit from the sewer as the assessment roll credited them with, but the engineers were unable to convince the council that their arguments would hold water. Attorney W. B. Van Home was also present to remonstrate 'op behalf of a number of property owners, but it was all of no avail and the roll was approved and confirmed. Bonds were then ordered issued for the payment of the sewer. Thewe Remonstrance Deferred. Last night was also the night set for remonstrances against the 141st street sewer and the laterals, but the matter was held open until the next regular meeting. A bunch of saloon licenses were allowed, and Carey street was declared vacated. A committee was appointed to see about a lighting equipment for the new pumping station. One of the most interesting questions of the evening came up at the last and was referred to the public building committee with full power to act. This was the matter of putting In a partition In the room over the Indiana Harbor police station devoted to library purposes, also securing suitable shelving and the necessary furniture for a library. Members of the library board were pesent, who announced that a librarian had been engaged, so the council ordered him to be placed on the city payroll for six months, as the library fund will not be available until FURS P U
