THE SHEFFIELD AVENUE BLUNDER.
There can be but one conclusion reached regarding the stand the former
city administration took in attempting to force the Hammond, Whiting and
East Chicago Railway company to pay for more than its share of the paving
on Shefflld avenue, and that is that it was a monstrous blunder.
This matter came up two years ago and the principal thoroughfare be
tween Chicago and Hammond was then badly in need of a new pavement.
Since that time it has become a terror to autoists and a disgrace to the city
t of Hammond.
It is now admitted that the city was in the wrong and that the street car
ompany could not be expected to pay for the paving of a strip of this street an honorary rough rider, and they

vae rest of the street. The former city officials who thought they could cr .
"wee the company into doing something that was manifestly unfair to it, were
piilty of a bungling botch of a job.
The time is coming when the present city administration-must bear its hare of the blame if something is not done at once. SHEFFIELD AVENUE
MUST BE REPAVED BEFORE NEXT SPRING, OR THE CITY ADMINIS
TRATION MUST BEAR THE RESPONSIBILITY.
There is no time for quibbling. THE TIMES prepared data showing that Hammond is losing thousands of dollars worth of business every month
East Chicago. It also showed that thousands of dollars Invested are jeop
ardized by the loss of transient automobile business.

Steps must be taken to have the court proceedings at Crown Point dropped. A compromise must be reached with the Hammond, Whiting and East Chicago railway officials. The contract for the paving of this street must be

SMALL TOWNS BOOM.
Whle THE TIMES has been busy chronicling the fast progress of the industrial communities of the country the smaller places should not be
forgotten. On the front page of yesterday's TIMES there was something about East Gary once called Lake Station. They are doing these things there: ' Town trustees to build a new' city hall. Air line starts construction of interurban from East Gary to Valparaiso. Town hall to have a Jail and fire department quarters. Building boom started and request made that fifty more houses be built. Michigan Central railway starts to improve the grove. The town, following Miller's example, --takes over management of its own school. And, before long, we hope to be telling that Ea6t Gary is installing a Gay White Way stem of illumination. And, what's more, when East Gary gets trolley communication with Gary we will be telling a lot more about the enterprising town. Then there is Schercrville which is going Jto incorporate. The more the merrier. OPEN THE POSTAL BANK AT NIGHT.
For the benefit of those who need It most, the new postal savings bank
ln Chicago might well be kept open in the evening, as those in charge of it
propose, until branches of the bank are established in different parts of the
city. The bank, which is in the federal building, now receives deposits between 9 a. m. and 4 p. m. The closing hour is so early that few of the people who are regularly employed and live outside the central business district
can make deposits. This is particularly true of those whose homes are !n
South Chicago or in the remote West and North Side manufacturing districts
It was expected that the bank would receive most of its deposits j from
wage-earners of foreign birth, who seek and need, first and last, security for their savings. Since the opening of the bank most of depositors have been of native birth. . This Is hardly suprising with a 4 o'clock closing. If the bank is kept open until 8 p. m., or better, still, until midnight at least on
Saturday nights many more of foreign-born may be expected to use it. Chicago Record-Herald. . Why not at Gary and Indiana Harbor?
