There is no question that many of those who signed the" remonstrance
are beginning to see the matter in a different light and !f ever a court was
justified in making what may seem to some to be an arbitrary ruling in this matter, that court is justified at this time in annexing the territory south of Hammond even if there i3 some opposition to the plan. A few obstructionists can not expect to stand-in the way of progress. The opposition to annexation seems to be centered in John C. Becker, the township trustee, but the motive in his case is so plain that it ought not to influence the court. If both sides of the case are fully and fairly presented to the residents of the territory between the city and the river it is inconceivable that would continure their opposition.
THE TIME TO DO IT IS BEFORE A FIRE.
i v It wasn't the work of the firemen at the Homewood blaze in Hammond yesterday that was critized by the people who saw it, it was the conditions under which they were obliged to workj The firemen were not all responsible for those conditions. Rather was it the head of the department. It is his business, as a servant of the people and guardian of their Interests to see that his men have the proper tools to work with and that the tools are In good shape. It is his business to see that the fire plugs are in good shape. They ought to be tested regularly. They ought to be put in shape for use, and for use in a hurry. We cannot say that the fire department is overworked. Chief Dilschneider cannot have for his excuse that he is too busy to see that all fire fighting apparatus is in perfect shapeSpectactors at a fire are always too ready to criticize the work of fire department and about conditions of which they have no technical knowledge. They had grounds for their criticism yesterday, however.

ANOTHER TRANSFORMATION.
It was several months ago that this paper carried the first announcement
of the United States Steel corporation's plans to open the Second subdivision
in the west part of the city of Gary.
At that time the story was looked upon as premature, but in those few
months a wonderful transformation has taken place in the territory west of
the First subdivision which last May was a wilderness of sand dunes, shrub
oaks and swamps. Today seven new streets, now under the course of construction, are nearly completed. Fifth avenue has been extended a short dis
tance of Clark. The Gary & Interurban now operates its cars to the plant of
the American Bridge company, the bridge company itself unit in operation
Construction has commenced on more than 100 houses for the American
Bridge company and more than this, hundreds of acres have been cleared off awaiting further improvement of streets and sewers. All this has taken place in a brief period of less than a year. What may be expected by the time another twelve months roll by.
