There was no remonstrance over the matter of putting In the improvements, nor of the material to be used in the same, the East Chicago company and the Washington Park company owning practically all of the property.

(Special to The Times.) East Chicago, Ind., June 8. East Chicago is soon to have an attractive $15,000 railway station on the site now occupied by the old frame depot on the Pennsylvania grounds. The plans have all been drawn and approved by the company and work on the structure will be begun shortly. This was reported at the meeting of the Commercial club of Indiana Harbor and East Chicago last night, E. W. Wickey being the bearer of the glad tidings. Mr. Wickey explained that he was speaking of the matter to a.n official of the Pennsylvania a few days ago and that his information was obtaine from him. t The Commercial club has ben working on this project for a year1 in conjunction with the city administration, and the news that their efforts were about to . be crowned with achievement, was well received. It is understood that the depot Is not to be so very large, but It will be of attractive architecture and will do much toward creating a good appearance to travelers who have heretofore looked out up on a frame shack unworthy the name of depot for a city the size of East Chicago.
