PBESEIIT HARBORS BILL

The fondest hopea of the people of Indiana Harbor seem about to be realized when the rivers and harbors' bill, which was Introduced in congress, to-day, carries with It an appropriation of $32,000 for Indiana Harbor. This means that the appropriation has run the gauntlet of the committee on ways and means, and stands an excellent chance of being made a law. The people of Indiana Harbor will be delighted and Congressman E, D. Crumpaker Is being given credit for good work. Michigan City also g6t an appropriation for '$65,00.0, and so Congressman Crumpacker's district gets $127,000 out of the pork barrel this year. While these sums will not go a long way toward adequately improving the harbors to be benefited, the people of the cities to which they apply are grateful for the half loaf in tbe absence of the whole.

CHAMPION GREEN JNJE'S CAUSE Contlnued from Page 1.)

next six months. The people of East Chicago know that this line will then connect both Indiana Harbor and East Chicago with every part of Hammond. On the other hand. Mayor Becker of Hammond has already decided this question for both cities. He stated -3 much at the meeting of the Hammond manufacturers when he declared that he 1s unequivocally opposed to the Hammond,, Whiting and .East Chicago company and implied that he favored the Gary & Interurban company. Mayor Backer by his absolute control of the board of public works could prevent that body from reporting the Green line franchise and could Insist that the board approve of the Gary & Interurban franchise, but after he has granted the Gary, people a .franchise through the Gibson subway and on Forsyth avenue to the Hmmond-Eait Chicago corporation line, just north of the Gibson yards, the matter Is completely out of his hands and up to. the council of the city of East Chicago. SHOW PVBLIC SPIRIT. " The East Chicago city administration is looking at the matter from the standpoint of tha city's best interests, and East Chicago is demanding that all traction and interurban lines be permitted to use the Forsyth avenue route. If the city of Hammond does not decide to ba equally liberal In this matter the

city of East Chicago will refuse to pass any franchise, and there Will be

a complete deadlock over the matter. ; But regardless of the attitude .taken by. the Hammond city administration, the business men of this city last night were forced to admit the reasonableness of East Chicago's position, and public sentiment in Hammond will be with East Chicago in its effort to-have the Forsyth avenue route left open to. any and every interurban line.'that desires to use that thoroughfare. BOM BERG ER MAKES REPORT. : The question name up for consideration when Attorney 1 I Bomberger, as a member of the committee which was appointed to investigate the respective claims of the contending traction companies, read the report of the committee and moved its passage. This put the matter before the house, and John E. Fitzgerald was then called upon to make some remarks on the subject. He informed the Business Men's association of the action of the Manufacturers' association-' In approving of the claims of the Green line, providing It-Improves its service. Mr. Fitzgerald apologized for the Green

line by saying that for years it had looked to him like a line that was about to sell out. He said that a line that is about to sell out never makes any improvements. Now, however, that the line has sold out he believed that Mr. Cobe was determined to spend a large amount of the 130.000,000 or $40.000,000 that had been raised In the east in rehabilitating the Indiana end of the Consolidated Railways of Chicago.. GAVIT MAKES ABLE TALK. ' j The East Chicago delegation was Jhen requested to present their .views on the subject,, and one after another they told how East Chicago Is hemmed injby Hammond and Gary and how Forsyth avenue Is the-only remaining highway over which interurban lines can come Into that city. That explained their determination that this one route be left open to all invading interurban lines. I Frank Gavlt of Whiting made an I able talk in behalf of his line. He de

clared that competition in the traction business is the best guarantee of good service. He stated that his. company had lived up to its franchises in Gary and Hammond. He declared with con-; siderable effect that he could not un- : derstand why the Green line wanted an additional route to East .Chicago when it already had one. He asked why it was that the Green line officials had never thought of applying for a franchise until they found that he was about to -ask for one. over this route. He pointed out the fct that his line granted universal transfers In Gary and would do the same here. He pointed to the fact that the Green line al-: ready has franchises over two of the bridges over the Calumet river and that the Indiana-Chicago Traction company has franchisee over two of the remain. Ing three bridges. He asked why his line should not be granted rights over

the only remaining bridge over the river. TO DOUBLE-TRACK LINE. Mr. Gavlt pointed out that If there

are two independent lines to East Chicago, the city of Hammond and the city j of East Chicago will have two twenty-! minute services between those cltlee' and they might not have j if the Green 1 line is permitted to control both routes. He then declared that his company will double-track Sibley street next summer and eventually expects to build a line from East Chicago to Gary. Peter Crumpacker then presented the arguments in favor of the Green line. He told of the pioneering that the line has done In this region; he said that the people are partly responsible for the dirty cars and declared that the company he, represents will execute a bond as a ,arantee that It will build

the East -ovhicago extension In six months. He differed with Mr. Gavlt on the question of the desirability of competition, and said that the trend in commercial affairs is towards concentration. He said that if the present franchise is faulty It was the one which came before the famous referendum committee of 100 at the time it was passed. He declared that universal transfers are a good thing for a little line like the Gary & Interurban, which would use the twenty-six mnes of the Green line for a feeder. ALSO PROPOSES EXTENSIONS. He announced that Mr. Cobe proposes not only to make the proposed exten-' sibn from Hammond to East Chicago and Indiana Harbor, but that a line is to be built to Buffington and one to Grasselli. He also referred to the announcement of the proposed extension to Harvey, -111. Tl.e meeting finally resulted in the adoption of the committee report favoring the Green line franchise, with a proviso regarding the improvement of the service. A committee of three is to be appointed to represent the Hammond Business Men's association before the Hammond, board of pubic works. After an attempt had been made to discuss the question of the lighting eontract the meeting adjourned, owing to the lateness of the hour, and will take up this matter at a special meeting to bo held next Monday.
