OWNERS FAVOR THE WIDENING (Continued from Page one) personal advantage that he would try to Improve Hohman street to the disadvantage of Calumet avenue, inasmuch as his interests are nrlmarilv on Hohman street, but that he took the larger view of the matter, and that in his estimation the opening of Calumet avenue was a good thing for the entire city. It was made clear at the meeting that if Ihe people fall to open and widen Calumet avenue this time that It will in all probability never' become the j street that it apparently is destined to j be. Everybody realizes this quite well. I Method of Procedure Explained, j In the meeting last night were quite ! a number of property owners in the j benefited district, people who, accord- ! lng to the location of their lots, are assessed anywhere from $1 to ?10, on , the sliding scale adopted by the board. Some of these, tt la understood, came to the meeting for the purpose of making an objection to their assessments, but when there was such a decided expression of sentiment In favor those who Intended to remonstrate, were silent. John Rohde, member of the board. I explained the board's position. He said on Calujnet avenue say they do not get enough and the people on the side streets say ther are being taxed too high, "and with no prospects to get more out of the general fund, the whole project was in danger of falling to pieces. He also explained the board's system of fixing the benefits and damages. In the first place, he said the board asked two distinterestd building contractors and two disinterested house-movers to give the board estimates on moving and repairing the various buildings on Calumet avenue. In each case, he said, the board took the lowest bid for the house moving and for the repairing. The assessments on the side streets, he said, were fixed on a sliding scale, the first lots east and west of Calumet avenue being assessed $10, the next $9.75, the next $9.50 and so on down until the last lot in the benefited district was assessed $1. In this way. Including the money from the general fund, is to be raised to pay the damages on Calumet avenue. City Attorney John A. Gavit explained some of the legal phases at the meeting. Among those who spoke in favor of the opening and the widening were City Controller Kd. Aubry, who is being assessed on a number of pieces of property; oAo Herkner, C. B. Stiver, Ed. Dinwiddle.

number of others. Xo final action could be taken at last night's meeting. At yesterday morning's meeting- of the board of public works enough remonstrances were filed, which, if they should be upheld in the courts, would be sufficient to knock out the whole project. Next Friday the board will receive additional remonstrances, all of wliich must be iif writing in order to comply with the law.

II H. S. TO HAVE REWGYHRASIlin School Authorities Make Announcement at Celebration Held Yesterday. (Special to The Times.) Whiting, Ind.. April 30. The fact has been learned that Whiting is to have a new gymnasium and this news, together with their succession of victories, was the cause of much, more rejoicing among the Whiting high school students again yesterday. Before hundreds of high school stutV1?' lumnl and townspeople gathered in the assembly room of the. Whiting high school s building yesterdaymorning in honor of the sweeping victory of the oil city at the county oratorical anil music contest. Superintendent xW.i W. Holliday announced a decision of the board of education which set the entire crowd to cheering. At Us meeting of last Saturday night the board of education took the first steps in securing a gymnasium for the Whiting schools, unequaled perhaps by anything in Indiana. The plan adopted was to remodel the old manual train ing building. As the entire, structure will be used nearly twenty thousand square feet of floor space will be avail able for gymnastic purposes. On the first floor will be a large swimming -tank, a small exercise room, a locker room, an instructor's office and a rest room. On the second floor will be shower baths and another locker room. The gymnasium proper will be o nthe third floor. It will be 110 feet long, fifty feet wide and twenty feet high. A running track, which will also be used as'a balcony during basketball games, will be suspended above this floor. The track will be surfaced with cork. in speaking of the new gymnasium Prof. Holliday explained that the action of the board of education came partly as a reward for the zealous and faithful work of Whiting high school students, not only In athletics, music and oratory, but In their general school work as well Besides the superintendent. Principal Whiteman, the high school faculty, the two victors in declamation, Miss Edna O'Hara and Lawrence Smith, Mrs. Fred J. Smith and Senator Frank N. Gavit gave short talks. Miss Edna Hunter, the director of music In the high school, spoke on behalf of the chorus, whtch was called upon to sing'the winning selection of last Friday night. Miss Jessie Duggan and Mrs. Roy E. Green sang. solos; Miss Helen Mattern, "05, gave a reading, and Roy E. Green and Walter Smith, who won the county ora loncai contests in 1303 and 1909, re spectively, gave their impressions of the recent contest. A number of other alumni present and visitors also responded to the In sistent demands of the high school stu dents. CAN YOU BEAT THIS? WorblnKman'm Ten Hnt Reaitona Why You Should Own a Home In Ham mood See Contest In Hammond Gardens Auction Ad. In my opinion the ten best reasons why a worklngman should own name in Hammond are:-1 1. Hammond has no fictitious real values, having grown up gradually and never been boomed. It is on a solid foundation. 2. Has modern fire, police and school systems. 3. Because (comparatively speak ing) it is a high wage town with bu average living expenses. 4. Because the geographical location of Hammond (across the road from Chi cago) makes it the eastern and south ern gateway to Chicago and to Gary (the future Pittsburg of the west). 5. Hammond, being a town of many and varied manufactories, is not de pendent on any concern In particular. for prosperity, and is accordingly less affected by panics. 6. It Is adjacent to other live manu facturing towns that can be reached in a few minutes for a nickel ear fare. 7. It is to be connected by a direc water route with the new harbor. 8. Because it is easy to find employ ment where there are many and varied manufacturing establishments within a short traveling distance. 9. Because of the unearned valu necessarily accruing to real estate sit uated as Hammond 4s. 10. Because it has 21 railroads an J three interurban lines, making it th most concentrated railroad center i the world, an everlastim?' guarantee against retrogression and a better rea son why the average manufacture should locate in Hammond than an other city in the United States can of fer.

It was commonly stated and believed that the net earnings exhibited after proper deductions fall short by one-half of the quarter's full proportion of th regular dividend on the corporation's common stock; and yet nobody seemed in haste to part with Ms holdings of United States Steel shares and the common sense view was doubtless operative with most of such holders that althousrh the bus!-

But the main factor to be regarded Is that the outlook for the steel business is not merely for the year but for several years ahead has radically changed. The time of lean years has passed, or at least mmy people think it has, and the time tt the fat years is approaching.
