(Special to The Times.) East Chicago, Ind.. June 9. The city has a force of men at work spreading crushed stone in Chicago avenue from the C, I. & S. westward, and It is only a question of a short time before East Chicago avenue will be Considerably more traversable, especially for automobiles, than has been the case In the past. The beauty of it is that the crushed
stone wherewith the roadway Is being
Improved, is not costing the city a pen ny. And thereby hangs a tale.
C. W. Hotchklss, general manager of
the Indiana Harbor Belt, general man
ager of the C.,-1. Sc. S. and high cockolorum in. numerous other enterprises which have done their share toward making the Twin iCtles what they are, was out this way not long ago, coming out from Chicago with Walter J.
Riley in the latter's machine. In traversing the distance from East Chi- ; cago to Calumet, -Mr. Hotchklss was considerably Jolted. Mr. Hotchklss said a few things ' about the road that would not look ' particularly well In print and, arriv- ! ing at the First Calumet Trust and
Pavings bank, where he alighted with Judge Riley, the incident was apparently closed. Not so, however. A couple of days later a few carloads of chushed stone arrived, consigned to Judge Riley. The next day some mare carloads put in an appearance. The cars of stone continued to arrive until there were sixty of them, and-then a great light burst on Judgo
: Riley. A letter from C. W. Hotchklss . helped the light to burst. It said some- , thing to this effect. j 'Am sending this stone to be spread on Chicago avenue, from the C, I. &
S., west as far as it will go." The city is thinking of getting up a little motoring party to which Mr. Hotchklss will be invited as guest of honor. t It is not the intention to select the best roads East Chicago boasts, at that, for the jaunt.
Ft. Wayne The Interstate Mill Supply company, with a capital stock of $75,000, is being organized in this city to begin business July 1, as dealers In mill, factory and machine supplies. E. W. Puckett is at the head of the new enterprise.
New Albany The American Bridge
company, which has the contract for
the steel work on the new Kentucky and Indiana bridge, has begun shipping material to this city. Three carloads of girders and beams have been received for the viaduct of the Southern Railway company's tracks which pass under the bridge approach. Lawrenceburg The county commissioners have bought the Guilford toll pike from the pike company for $6,000 and the Harrison, New Trenton and Rochester toll pike for $4,000. All of the toll roads In Dearborn country are now free. The stockholders of the pike bonds have been receiving from 12 to IS per cent interest each year on their investment. Princeton The Princeton Light and
Power company is preparing to expend $25,000 in enlarging Its plant here, and buying additional equipment. An order for the machinery has already been placed, and is expected to arrive within the next few days. An addition will bo erected to the present large building, and when completed, and the machinery installed, the capacity of the plant In both the heating and lighting
departments will be practically doubled. Connersville A committee of the Commercial club appointed to investigate the hospital situation here has recommended that the Fayette sanatorium, which Is now the only hospital here, be changed as to management and put under the supervision of a board of directors. They also recommended that another committee be named to raise $1,000 to pay debts now standing against the Institution. The aim of the Commercial club is to put the hospital on a business basis, and to encourage all the local physicians to use It. Rushviile If the measure advocated
by Councilman C. H. Parsons Is passed by the city council, Rushviile will have a traffic ordinance providing that drivers of all kinds of vehicles shall stop only on the right side of the street. The city attorney has been instructed to draw up the ordinance. The local lodge of Eagles has voted to purchase the Caldwell property and convert it Into a lodge home. Shares of stock in
the building are now being sold among
the members. The property will be re
modeled.
