GARY 5 1. 1

POINTS

Through a cunningly worded franchise agreement, which on the surface seems to promise Gary an extensive street railway system, but in reality promises nothing at all except trouble. Mayor Knotts and his Board of Public Works have been misled Into agreeing to one of the biggest franchise grabs ever attempted. Fortunately for tho city of Gary there is still time for the city council to prevent this blunder, which otherwise would cost the people, during the life of the franchise, many millions of dollars to say nothing of inconvenience and trouble. In the first place, the Calumet United Railways Company, is a Philadelphia man named Geist, who is in th power business, not the railway business, and Is about to erect a power plant in East Chicago for the manufacture and sale of power. Naturally h would like ti get into Gary with his power line. He could hardly hope to get permission to string high voltage electric wires In Gary's streets without resorting to deception. Mayor Knotts would not con sider for one minute a franchise openly granting such rights. But if Geist can dazzle the city officials and newspapers of Gary with the promise of an extensive street railway, so wording that promise that he is not bound by anything, and then can slip in somewhere a clause giving the right for a power line, he will have a good thing. This Is exactly what has been done. The franchise gives over to Geist streets running from East Chicago to Porter county, together with north and south streets conveniently situated for a distribution of a power current to the business section. The promised street railway system is conditioned upon the granting of franchises in Whiting, East Chicago, Miller, Porter and Chesterton. That lets him out of Immediate construction. Ho can build where and when he pleases, because he need not complete his lines until three years after the granting of those franchises, which may be three years after never. Now, while the city and newspapers are dazzled by the hope of a wonderful railway, se what he has done. An in offensive looking clause In section 5 reads that he shall have .tte right put In place any additional polea and vrlre required for the trniuiminiilon of modern, high potential current" la plain words the right to string wires Swedish. $2.002.50; limas.

This will be done at Crown Point for the reason that it is more easy of access. After the issues have been made up the cases will go to Valparaiso for trial. The trial of the cases will begin on the second Monday of the term at Valparaiso, and this will be some time along in June. The trial of these cases Is expected to furnish one of the biggest sensa tions of the year. So far the lines of battle have been drawn as follows: The state will be represented by Wil liam J. Whlnery, Prosecuting Attorney Charles E. Gree.nwald, Assistant Prose cuting Attorney F. L. v elshelmer and Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Ralph W. Ross. The defense will be represented by W. J. McAleer of Hammond and Attorney A. V. Knotts of Ham mond and Gary. The cases grew out of the election disturbances in Gary in the election of a year ago, .when Mayor Thomas E. Knotts is alleged to have stopped at nothing in his efforts to make Gary democratic. CHICHESTER S PILLS J TnK diamond nuisai .

carrying thirty thousand volts, or any voltage he chooses, on Fifth avenue, Massachusetts stret. Fourth, Eighth, Nineteenth and Twenty-fifth avenues, Virginia. Ambridge, Roosevelt streets, etc. With the passage of this ordinance the coveted power line is a certainty and the street railway part of the franchise will be a good gamble. The streets named will need a street railway sometlnm Are the people of Gary going to stand for that sort of thing? In orde-r to permit Geist to build a dangerous power line in Gary's principal streets, are they willfng to submit to a five cent fare, nearly double the fara charged, by the Gary & Interurban? Are they willing to giv up all right to 5 per cent of the net earnings of the street car system, which in fifty years might yield the city hundreds of thousands of dollars? Are they willing to expend $10,000 a mile more for paving than the would have to under the Gary & Interurban franchise? Are they willing to put up with th troubls and extra cost which will arise from the presence of two street car systems trying to serve the same people? Do j they want conditions all over the city, j similar to the unfortunate condition j south of the Little Calumet, where the Gary & Interurban is prevented by court procedlngs temporarily, from giving the street car service desired by the people? The Geist franchise does not even provide for the building of a first class street car system. Read section 5 and see what you think about It. It says: "Said pole and anpporta ahall be placed on an average of not LESS tbau one hundred feet apart." Cunning, isn't it? Geist is told virtually that not only may he build where and when he pleases but that he need not put up a substantial overhead system; he must not place his poles less than 100 feet apart and ha may place them 500 feet apart if ho wants to. He epected to hoodwink the Board of Public Works with "that clause, and he did. The iron poles on Broadway cost the Gary & Interurban Co. $21.11 apiece, in addition to the cost of putting them in place and equipping them. That clause will save Mr. Geist a great many thousand dollars, if ever he starts to build his railroad. GARY & INTERURBAN RY. CO. IB!

It "has been learned that through the efforts of Rochester, Ind., citizens, who have prevailed upon the Erie railroad to give them better service, that the erstwhile company has finally consented to give them a westbound passenger local with the western terminus being North Judson. The train will run in the afternoon and the new service will be Installed about the 18th of this month, according to report. The action of the Erie In granting this concession to Crown Point's easter neighbors only goes to show how much effort they make to cater to the requests of local citizens for better service, and some concerted action should be taken to induce the railroad commissioners to extend the new train service as far west as Hammond, at least. In conversation with those who are conversant with the subject, it is learned that the traffic from Crown Point west is 50 per cent larger than that of Rochester or Huntington west as far as North Judson, and in view of these Lake County Title
