Alderman M. N". Castleman. chairman of the Gary council franchise committee the first batch of his 57 objections why the council should not ratify the Indianapolis-thlcago. Meridian railway franchise. .. His signed interview given to Thbi Times is as follows: 1. I believe there should be but one street car line owning tracks on the streets of the city of Gary and as the franchise of the Gary and . Interurban Railway Company makes express provision for the carrying cars of interurban roads over Its tracks at a very rea-

sonable rate there Is no reason for other lines occupying th streets with their tracks. 2. By this contract the, Meridian Company is authorized to charge a fivecent fare within the city. The present operating street car line is bound by Its franchise to sell tickets good on all parts of its line at the rate of eight for twenty-five ctnts and if this can be done by one company, it should be done by all others. 3. There Is no provision in this contract by which the cars of other Interurban lines shall have the right to uso the tracks of this , company to go through the city and no franchise should be granted which does not contain such a provision- In which the rate of the maximum charge to the other interurban should be definite. V . 4. Section II of this contract authorizes the company to haul all kinds of freight except live stock and manure and this means that a general railroad business with unsightly freight cars carrying coal and all other kinds of freight except the two names above may be done the entire length of Seventeenth avenue and the street thereby encurabercii and traffic thereon obstructed by such,, freight ears. '.We believe that the freight authorized to be. carried should be limited so as to

Attorneys in Los Anceies who beMeve Clarence l)arrow. chief counsel for the McNamara brothers, will succeed In rapidly axhaustlnc the list oi eight hundred veniremen made up by the Superior Court Judges last January, think be will ultimately ask for a cbangS of venue. It wfll be impossible, they say, to find twelve men In Los Angeles w! o have net acquired fixe.; prejudice In the case because ot Its notoriety in that section . ,

exclude bulky and unsightly freight in cars and permit only express and lighter freight to be handled on our public streets. Some Trark Objections. 5. The provision in Section II that the company If it acquires private right of way on Seventeenth avenue extended will permit the city to use it as a street is not sufficiently definite. The provision should be that It will dedicate the same as a public highway and permit the city to use it for the street may be a very different from making It a public street and under this Section it seems clear to us that the paving provision contained in a subsequent section would not be operative as to such portion of Seventeenth avenue as it procured for private right of way. .'.-" 6( By Section III it is provided that the company can operate a single track line as long as its desires and thereafter change to a double track line. There should be a definite limited period within which a single track line may be operated and a provision making it compulsory to double track at the end of such . period. 'It -should also be 'pro.vlded taat when a single track is' laid It shall not "be laid In the center of the

street but at such point In the street as with the laying of another track It will constitute'a double track road and thus prevent the tearing up of the street and pavement, which may have gone In, for the removing of the then existing truck." AYantn Voltage Speclflcatlon. 7. Section IV does not limit the company to the voltlng of electric current which may be carried on Its. trolley wires and voltage on wires suspended, over the streets Is extremely dangerouj both from the probability of falling wires and from the ' contact of other 1 wires therewith. The trolley wires must of necessity be exposed and can not be Insulated as are feed wires. Whatever might be said on this subject as to electric lines using private right of way it Is certainly dangeroua and we believe Ill-advised to not limit the power that may be carried In the trolley wires on the streets. S. By Section 7 and 8 reference Is made to paving by the company" of its tracks. By these sections no, Abllgatlon Is placed on the company.' fo do any paying at a!l until In the language ot Section 8. the city shall pave the balance of the street ''itb brick, itbnie or tlw durable-material." s This, means that if a macadam driveway, Is put in. 'the com-

x, pany shall be under no obligations to

pave the portions of the street occupied by" it and It also means that no obligations to pave shall rest upon the company if the street occupied by its tracks Is Improved by the township or county. ' As Section 8 expressly limits this obligation to pave to a time when the city shall pave. There is also no obligation In these sections or any other part of the contract upon the company to repair and replace the pavement which it may put in when it wears out. The only obligation to replace or repair-the pavement contained in this contract is to do so when the company shall destroy or Injure It by removing or repairing Its tracks. I Tfcta Joke denser " 9. The only ' obligation ta build" or forfeiture for not dolng so Is contained in Section 15 and a careful scrutiny of this Section shows' that by It the city is in no manner, sure that it will build any track whatever outside the city of Gary or connecting Its tracks In Gary with any other city. ' By this section It can build a line In Seventeenth avenue from the east limits' of the city to Broadway ajid thereby tie up that portion of Seventeenth avenue for a period of fifty years without doing any, work or making a.ny other-connections In, view of the experience the city, has had with that portion ' of Broadway . south of the Uttle ' Calumet.' we "should be very cautiousabout letting proposed interurban lines have the opportunity by franchise to bar local lines from a street in the Fity In which loeal service is most ' Important without binding th company so occupying , the street to first, bujld its interurban connection. Thjs ', section -not onl jr. authorises ' the tying up of Seventeenth avenue east of .Broadway without" any interurban con'nectlon, but also If such, is done ties up Seventeenth-avenue westof Broadway for a ..period of two years wlthtfut any work -.being.. done thereon,. and If they shall then id.esjre .to put,. In . a- single track west .of Broadway ' they jnay "maintain It far. fifty, years without ever building a foot of line beyond the" limits of the city. ... ; ; ' . "' '.' Call Franehlse I'nsafe One. There iiiay'ise many other objections to "this francbise... which a careful scrutiny jwill ; develop, - but in .-view Of the objections pointed out we feiel It unsafe--to .further 'consider this, ordinance and contract. The company" has not shewn that it. has any track In operation and- we believe before the city administration ; : shoufd consider any franchise for an Interurban line topass in or through our city It should construct its line In the outlying territory at-, least "sufficiently to give a practical assurance that something will be done to give It interurban connection with other cities. This franchise appears to have been drawn with a view by the company to tie up an important street of our city where it may be used for speculative purposes without any provisions properly protecting the city.
