The book is somewhat different than the usual report and contains a history of the city. Just why this is inserted or what it has to do with a municipal report is not-known. There are also photo views of a shack. Mayor Knotts' first residence, and of an imposing mansion looking like structure, his present dwelling. Houses of other favored citizens are also shown. Ilea 131 Mile of Street. Other statistics show that there is now 25 miles of sewers in the city and that the area of the city Is 31 square miles. Six of these ssuare miles have been subdivided into 36,000 building lots. None the less Interesting Is the- report of the police department which arrested 2,949 persons during the year 934 heirfg in for drunkenness. 67 for deadly assaults. 5 for murder, 32 for robbery and 10 for desecrating the Sabalh. Incidentally ten police officers were "fired" during- the year for various causes. , Kxpenwe Exceed Income. From the report one learns that during the year the city received $270,733.S6 as revenue and spent $300. $17. 00 or some $30,000 more than it? income. The report of t.'ie- engineering department shows that $2,050,892.00 worth of streets, sewers and sidewalks have been completed and that $781,292.55 worth of work is under way tMs year all of which must make the mouths of out of town contractors water, it also . shows that Gary has a mileage of paved streets eo.ua! to one-third" either of Seattle, Minneapolis or Jersey City. It is further shown that Gary has 151 miles of streets in its limits of whlc 36 are paved and thereare also 19 mile? of stona ind macadam roads. Gary .now pays its highest salary to its school superintendent. $3,600 annually. The city clerk receives $2,100, the treasurer, chief of police, and Hie chief reeive $1,800. the mayor, city engineer, police captains and assistant fire chiefs, $1,500, the chief street inspector, fire captains and police sergeants $1,320, the building ommlssioner, plumbing inspector, and city judge $1,200. These salaries are not exactly what they were when the report was gotten up as the list printed herewith embraces recent increases. ' A well paying department Is the city court which during the year 1912 collected $12,571.52 in fines Which can be seen that the prosecutor's fees are quire lucrative In Gary. MORSE IS SENTENCED. Edward Morse, 1311 Kast Fifty-fifth street, Chicago, arrested by the Gary police last week on complaint of bis wife, was sentenced to a year in jail by Judge Sabath in Chicago yesterday. Morse is a Prudential Insurance company collector, and his wife alleged non-support.

FIREMAN'S LIFE WAS IN PERIL Blaze at East Chicago Home Gave Department Hard Fight. (Special to The Times.) Kast Chicago, Ind., Xov. 14. A fire which for a time threatened to destroy the residence of Mrs. Joseph Artibey, North Magoun avenue near 143rd stret, created considerable excitement ysterday morning in the vicinity. The fire ; damaged the house abou $300 and the los on furniture, mostly by water i.s estimated in the neighborhood of $150 or $200. It was discovered at 10 o'clock . and is believed to have been caused by j an overhed stove in the dining room. I While the fire itself was sufficiently I exciting, it was not a marker to what was created when firemen came out of i the burning building bearing between ' them what appeared to be the lifeless ! form of a man. The man was Jack Drury, one of the firemen, and it was at first belleed not only by the spectators, but by Chief Flack himself, that Drudy was dead Jle was later revived howover and taken to his home, not a great deal the worse for his experience. He was knocked out while hauling in a live lead, through one of the windows. His foot slipped on the oil cloth on which he was standing, and he fell, striking his head ag:iinst a. sewing machine. He was stunned and lay ad though dead. lie stiffened out absolutely rigid and was carried to the front porch where the firemen worked over him hampered by the well-meaning efforts of the entire neighborhood to do something for the injured man. A few hats were thrown up when Jt was shown that the injured fireman stl'l lived. Mrs. Artibey was considerably excited over the Are and insisted ipon remaining in the house. She was later prevailed upon however between the entreaties of her daughter and Chief Flack, to go to the house of Walter Spencer near at hand, from which point of vantage she watched the work of the fire department. BLACK OAK. Mr. and Mrs. William Volkman and daughter Helen spent the week end with Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Relland. ' Mr. and Mrs. John Matiing of East Chicago spent Saturday and Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Nickel. Cornelius Shay was host to a party of friends Saturday night.

ac CROSSING BRIDGES WHEN NOT REACHED But Lessees Would Like to Know About That Echo Just the Same. It is not generally known that the building of a, theater like the Schutz theater in Hammond is always more or less of a gamble on account of the perii of the echo. This fact was revealed by the visit of one of the lessees of the New Orpheum tlieateT to Hammond last Saturday, when he was the guest of Manager H. L. St. Clair. "We are going to have one of the most beautiful theaters In the country," said he, "but we are always worried to know whether or not the acoustics will be good. "I remember that there was a $75,000 theater built in Chicago a few years ago in which the acoustics were so bad that the people would not visit it. "There was a little theater with low ceilings across the street, and in spite of the fact that we gave better shows they got all of the. business: We had to remodel the theater at a cost of $15,000 and then the defect was not remedied. "Some of the devices that are used to arrest the echo are very ingenious. In cases when the acoustics are bad the stringing of three wires, at varying heights, will end the trouble. "Over in the Orpheum theater at Gary the acoustics were bad and it was only remedied there by putting burlap on the walls. Of course we are not looking for trouble in the' New Orpheum theater in Hammond, but we realize that such things are likely to happen and we are anxious until we are able to test the matter out finally." ACTIVITY IN STEEL. New York, Nov. 14. Most of the activity in the steel trade last week was derived indirectly from additional orders for railroad equipment, which included 7,700 cars, 120,000 tons of rails and some additional orders for locomotives -nd bridges.
