hump subway route and directly Into Indiana Harbor. He said that he is, willing to make any connections to -meet the requirements of the city officials of East Chicago just so they do not require him to take a zig-zag route in getting to the desired destination Anxious Build. He said that his company would commence the construction of the Indiana Harbor air line within a few weeks" after a franchise is granted and that his
company will guarantee to have the line running In eight months.
The proposed extension of the Green
line would be from the corners of State and Calumet avenue, on State street, to Howard avenue, on Howard avenue to
Kane avenue, thence along the north
line of the Nickel Plate railroad to the hump subway, thence to Forsythe avenue and on Forsythe avenue to Indiana
avenue by any route the city of East Chicago may prestribe so long as the route is feasible.
In addition to the declaration that
was elicited from the representatives of these traction lines that they would
both build to Indiana Harbor at once,
there was considerable talk of taking up the master of heaving the South
fchore line construct a loop down Co
lumbia avenue to Fayette street and thence through the city of Hammond
by way of RImbach avenue to West'
Hammond and to Burnham and Hege- !
wisch, where the line could join the
main line of the road.
Of Tremendous Benefit. It became apparent to the crowd as
sembled at this meeting that if it is possible to carry out these three traction projects the entire region from Gary to Burnham would be belted by the lines of three traction systems that would afford the people of the region
the best possible service for j-ears to come. It was this problem that was brought very near a solution last night by the announcement of Senator Gavit that the Gary & Interurban line would taka Kennedy avenue instead of Forsythe avenue as its route to Indiana Harbor. The meeting was called to order by David Emery, the president of the University club, in whose rooms the meeting, was held. George Hannauer, superintendent of the Indiana Harbor. Belt railroad, was made chairman of the meetHy?. David Emery was elected secretary. j Manager It. C. Green of the Green line was the first to speak, and outlined his project as related above. He was followed by Senator. Frank Gavit, who made clear the intentions of his company. A. M. Turner then moved that a com
mittee of five be appointed to make a
study of the traction situation and
make recommendations as to routes and that a second committee be appointed to take up the question of providing
building homes for tho workingmen
and also will make recommendations tf the citizens at the next meeting. Conkry Wants Homes. - W. B. Conkey made a very effective plea for the building of homes in Hammond. He said that it is important that these homes be built before the plant is constructed. He said that If the first men coma to Hammond to live they will be followed by others, and that if a mail once located here that he would form his friendships anfl would not be likely to move away. George Locklin complained" of the service on th local line and said he thought that ought to be taken care of
at once. He made a plea for more frequent service. Attorney Dan Morah, I. G. Pollard, Roscoe E. Woods, David T. Emery, At
torney Petef Crumacker and Others made brief remarks. Two things' were made apparent. One is that the business men, of Hammond, and the most representative gathering that has assemblyed in months, is unequivocally In favor of the granting of . proper franchises to the local traction lines.. Any delay along this line will meet
with severe public disapproval. In fact, the great loss to Hammond which re
sulted from the questionable action of
certain members of the city council in holding up the franchise of the South Shore line when it Sought to go down Michigan avenue was frequently spoken of last night. i . It Is a strange thing that -the only member of the official family of the city of Hammond who was present at the meeting was City Engineer Peter Lyons.

CASTLEMAN THREAT WAS ALL BUNK
. It was a tame affair, the meeting of the Gary common council last night, and it lacked all of the high-handed proceedings that characterized last Friday night's session when ballot stuffing and ballot stealing was rampant. Spectators who crowded the council room in anticipation of seeing Alderman M. N. Castleman in action were
disappointed as he did not show up. , five barrels or less daily, from $150 to
$400; for wells producing flvo to ten
There were many rumors that he woull
start a fight to prevent the newly elected alderman, Alfred Hess, from taking his seat and would follow it up by serving an injunction. But Mr. Hess took his seat and no one objected. Loses Wife Gets 93O0. The council gave Frank Csargo. formerly asistant street commissioner, who has spent some time In the county
jau ior oiling ar.ot.ier man s nnger, a
little solace in the shape of a $300 appropriation. This is to settle a damage suit. Csargo's wife died from tin effects of a fall on a slippery sidewalk Had property owners cleaned away th snow the woman probably would have
been living today. City Clerk Moose

elsewhere. ," ' The theory of the state board, it was explained. Is that this property because of its outside Interests, Is worth $200;000,000 as it stands, and that that sum should be made the taxing basis, instead of the valuation of the capital stock represented and tho actual value of the tangibles. Baaed on the latter, it was pointed out, the appraisement would be only about 10 per cent of what the -board believes to he ;the real valuation. As property is appraised in. Lake and other counties, the capital stock and the tangible valuations iare made the basis. The question of assessment of bank property is presented annually to the state board on arppeals from count boards of review. The banks are accustomed to return the stocks at par value, then demand the 20 or 25 per ceat reduction allowed by most cou'n
ty -boards of equalization. Yet many of these banks, it was shown, can command a price for their stock almost double the par value. When the bank stock Is not listed In the stock market, as is the case in nearly all the bank of this state, it is often difficult to determine the actual marketable valuji of the stocks. t , The counties affected by the courl decision on coal are preparing to file

In coal mines, personal Inspection of machinery and. mined coal on March 1 was directed. .. ' . An entirely new schedule was worked out for pipe lines and oil and gas wells. For oil wells, the schedule was made as follows: Abandoned wells from $73 to $100, where the pipes re
main in the well; for wells producing
barrels, from $i00 to $800; for wells producing more than ten barrels, $75 for each barrel capacity; short derdicks, $50; long derricks, $100; oil tanks for storage purposes from 10 to 25 cents a barrel capacity;, piping $1.50 (old) and $2.55 (new) for every one
hundred feet of Inch pipe, . to $130 (new) and $112 (old) for every one hundred feet of twelve-Inch pipe. Abandoned gas wells were scheduled at $?5 where the pipe remains, and producing wells at from $100 to $1,000. No changes were made in the schedules for live stock, stocks and bonds, factories and mills, foreign and domes
