: UNJUSTLY FOUNDED

"pudiic" official who attempts to satisfy the whims and fancies of various forms of disgruntled taxpayers often finds himself placed In an unjust light in the performance of a duty, wherein each contributor to the public fund fels that the city is especially obligated to work for his special interests. They pasa Judgment, too often, upon the merits or demerits of a public official in accordance with the narrowed viewpoint of their respective Interests. This is narrow, unjust and

without the poper public spirit. To Illustrate: A citizen living on

he outskirts of Gary came to the of-

nce 01 x he iiMi5 a lew aays ago oiiering a written complaint against the street commissioner of Gary for failure to clean off the streets In that section of the city. It was explained to him that It was imperative to clean off the business section of the town first, where the traffic was the heaviest and consequently the largest number of persons' were inconvenienced. He replied, saying that it didn't make any difference that heNwas a taxpayer the same as the Gary State bank or the Gary hotel, and was entitled to the

same privileges. As soon as possible a plow was started in that end of the city, but -paving brick lying in the middle of the street prevented effective work. Instantly this irate citizen circulated a petition which was presented to the council at their last meeting, charging Inefficiency on the part of the street commissioner. A later investigation by The Times revealed the fact that many of the inveterate complainants had never displayed enough interest in the welfare of their neighbors to even clean off their own sidewalks.

1908 THE BANNER YEAR Scores of Miles of Streets Have Been Paved Since Gary Was Founded.

The Gary city engineer's annual report to the city, which will be submitted in a few days, will show the astonishing fact that there has been nearly a half million dollars worth of street improvements put in this city in the past three years, or since the founding of the city. The sewers which have been built

i by the city of Gary have cost a

million. ,RE SOT INCLUDED. In these extensive Improvements are not Included the miles of streets paved

by the Gary Land company in the first

subdivision or the sewers which have , also been put in by that company in the same district. If this were added to the cost of the improvements already in Gary, it would raise the cost

to nearly half again the amounts given. Mr. Melton's report shows that the

most improvements were made by the city in 1908, although the past year nearly rivals It In the expenditure of money for that purpose. The various sums spent for street improvements in the past thre years are as follows: 1907 f 120,000.00 1908 138,755.18 1909 117,245.50 THE EXACT TOTAI. The exact total is $439,651.05. Of this amount about $50,000 worth of con-

tractshave been let in which the work has not been completed, owing to the cold weather."' I The amount of money appropriated I for sewer contracts is $249,892.44 Iurlng the past three years. All of this work has been completed with the exceptio nof $6,000, which has been de

layed because of the weather. The sewer system, it is expected,.-will be extended considerably farther south next year, and much more, money will be extended in this project. . It may be even thought advisable by the city to put in the septic tank system which

j has been contemplated for this city.

rne street, paving, wnicn represents the expenditure of nearly a half a million dollars, comprises about twentyfive miles of paved streets. Last year the total miles of street paved as incorporated in the engineer's estimate, was fifteen miles, but it is thought that this figure has been raised at least ten during the past year.
