Attorneys Kelly and Heard went to

Battle Creek, Mich., today 16 take deposcitlons in the Volkee will contest case which comes up for trial next Monday in the Lake superior court at Hammond before Judge Johannes Kopelke. Valparaiso Messenger.

Frank Gavlt, president of the Gary & Interurban. and the members of the Hammond board of public works hope to get together by next Monday to pass his franchise for an extension over Kennedy avenue, in Hammond. At that time the board hopes that the committee on transportation recently appointed at the citizens' mass meeting and the unions' committee will be present to take part in the conference. Messrs. E. E. Cole, H. C. Zoll, Louis Coombs, and George Weimer, representing the carpenters' union, submitted their demands in the franchise matter this morning. They ask for universal transfers, eight rides for a quarter between-5 and 8 a. m. and from 4 to 8 p. m., prompt service and sanitary

cars.

Mr. Gavit and the board did not go nto detail this morning about the car

penters' request for eight rides. Mr.

Gavit said his franchise already provided for everything they ask with the ex

ception of the rides, and that his oriffinal grant provides for six rides for a quarter. He and the board did get into

a lengthy discussion about the Kennedy

avenue bridge rights.

The board orginally asked that Gavit

submit to arbitration for the bridge

16 A HEAD

rights when a competing line wants to use it. Mr. Gavlt said this demand was unreasonable, especially when he was willing to submit to arbitration with non-competing Interurban lines. This morning Mr Gavlt submitted another way of settlement. He said he was willing to let down the bars to alt lines, competing and non-competing, with this provision that the company using his tracks over the bridge would pay, one-half of 7 per cent on the Investment represented ' in the improvement from the time it Is made until the second company begins using it, and that It continue to pay interest on the investment thereafter in proportion to the number of cars it runs over the bridge. Mr. Gavit argued that he was entitled to this consideration, because his line was doing the pioneering, and making it possible for a competing line to build into the bridge territory. The board thought that it this provision were adopted that at least a term of years should be stipulated from which the new line could begin to pay Its proportionate share. The whole question is to come up for another discussion next Monday. If the board passes the franchise next Monday the city council can take action on it on the following Tuesday night.

MTSYilCA. FOR IS CITY

W. C. Belman, cashier of the First National bank, Hammond, and prominent in T. M. C. A. activities In this part of the county, said .today that It was very nice of the Gary Y. M. C. A. management to open its membership lists to the young men of the other cities of the county, but that he did not believe that many Hammond young men, for instance, would avail themselves of the privilege. It is too far to Gary to make It worth while for a Hammond man to take out a membership in that organization. We have got to have a T. M. C. A. In Hammond, sooner or later, said Belman and that will be the only solution of the problem of providing a place of amusement for our young men.
