SITE

(Special to The Times.) East Chicago, Ind., May 26. The Methodist church has secured as choice a location as there is in East Chicago for the new church. Instead of being erected on the site of the present buildlng-s, as planned, the hamisomo new edifice will be built at the southwest corner of Daring and Chicapo avenues, at "The Circle." which is destined .to be the center of handsome buildings in this city. The church will occupy a site embracing 12S feet frontage on Chicago avenue, running back to a depth of 150 feet on Baring and the transfer was made on Saturday by Vice President C. A. Westberg for a nominal sum. Work on the edifice will be commenced as soon as the building committee can get

in the bids and award the contract. The agreement with the East Chicago company specifies that the foundations must bo in by Oct. 20 anil the root on the structure not alter than May 20 of next year. It is the intention of the Methodist church people however to peat the agreement by having the roof on before the first of the year, the extra time being provided for only for an emergency. With two fine buildings, the proposed library and the Methodist church, already secured for the Circle, it looks as though it will be but a-short while before East Chicago"s policy of building up this location with buildings that will be a credit to the city, will have been realized. It is the company' policy, now that Chicago avenue is being

Improved clear through from Hammond, to build up that thoroughfare substantially and attractively, so that visitors who come hero from Hammond and further west, will gain a good first impression of East Chicago. The company deems important that the building be done as rapidly as possible for the benefit for the whole town. On Thursday the building committee of which A. G. Slocomb is chairman met with the architect, J. F. McCoy of Danville, 111. and the plans were slightly rearranged to conform to the new location. The only change that was made was the addition of a primary, room on the rear of the building. Otherwise the exterior outline will

remain the same as formerly.

The agreement with the . land company provides for a building to cost not less than $20,000. When the plans were, first submitted to the land company Vice President Westberg pointed out that the present site on which it was at that time proposed to erect the new structure would be rather restricted, permitting of no enlargement in case this was at any time desired. He

suggested "The Circle" as the logical location and the suggestion met wild instant approval. , .The new church will be the largest and most pretentious church edifice in the Twin Cities and will be a credit not only to the two towns, but to the entire region. It will be of brick and stone construction. The details have been heretofore described in these columns. '

Muncie It has been decided by tho board of public works here to oil every macadam street in the- city where abutting property owners raise no objections to the use of oil. The cost, which is light, is assessed against the real estate owners affected. Oiled street:? have been of great benefit here for several years, in keeping down dust, and the plan to make the oiling general meets with favor. Fairmount A new banking arvd trust company has been organized here. The capital stock is $50,000, and the directors are John Flanagan, W. A. J'.easley. Li N. Sluder, Charles M.
