great prospects of Hammond and East Chicago (they, had not begun to digni
fy these cities by the name "Calumet region") he offered to sell him the line. Cummings Inquired as to the earning
capacity of the road, and then shook
his head. He said that when the road
began to haul 1,000,000 passengers
year and the gross income was at least $50,000, he 'would be ready to talk
business.
Turner went away disheartened and broke the news to the rest of the owners of the line. "The line will have to haul 1,000,000 passengers a year before It s a marketable proposition," was the Bad intelligence to the men who had bought the property. However,
they did net abandon the property, but began a series of extensions and Improvements that finally made the road a paying p'ropositlon. CUMMI.NGS KEEPS WORD. Along in 1897 It was discovered that the road had hauled 1,000,000 passengers, and again Mr. Turner went to Chicago 4o see Mr. Cummings. The South
Chicago street car magnate was as good as his word and he bought the Hammond line. Mr. Turner remained Its president until Jan. 1, 1900. The history of the Hammond, Whiting and East Chicago line is the history of the growth and development of the Calumet region. The original project to build the line was formed in the spring of 1892, when Lazarus Silverman of Chicago, N. M. Kaufman of Marquette, Mich., and W. H. Fitzgerald, father of the former Gary attorney. , A. R.. Shroyer of Logansport, and Charles F. Griffin of Hammond, raised $100,000 to build it. Charles Loss furnished part of the capital and was consequently given the contract for the building of the line. HOnE GODFREY RECEIVER. A year later the road went into the hands of a receiver and Hobe Godfrey of this city was appointed the receiver. It was about to be sold on the order of

president and manager. Under the new management a single track was laid from East Chicago to Whiting and thence to Roby, where it made connections with the South Chicago city railway to South Chicago. It was about that time that Turner made his proposition to Cummings. The road could have been purchased then for 50 cents on the dollar, and Cummings afterward paid $1.50 for the stock. BlILDS SHORT-IJXE. In 1898 after , Cummings had acquired the line he built the short line to Hammond . between Wolf Lake and Lake George.
