mum. The new schedule has been approved by the railway commission of Indiana.

She charged corrupt decisions were handed down from the bench and the

political power.

"While wondering what to do to

make Illinois the eleventh state to have

lie police report

A new plumbing ordinance, providing

for a plumbing inspector with an an

nual salary of $1,200, an increased 11

cense fee, Inspection fees, the immediate installation, upon the inspector's

notice, of water closets in the house, where sewer connections, are possible

and a score or more of other provisions, all bearing directly on the pocketbook

of every property owner and prospec

tlve house owner, is pending and will very iikely tie introduced in the Ham

mond city council tomorrow evening.

The ordinance is said to have been

drawn up at the request of members of

the Journeymen Plumbers' union, and obviously is designed to bring about more sanitary pi u m ! i r; . Tiie ordinance also creates a beard of examiners consisting of the city engineer, the secretary of the board of health, one master plumber and one

journeyman plumber, tiie latter two to I be appointed by the mayor. j Saddle .Joint Itarred. ! one of tiie objections which has alj ready been raised against the ordinance is that the inspector is allowed sixteen hours' time in which to make an inspection of work, and that, al! work shall be left uncovered until such inj speetion is made. In cases where house j drains must be laid with the point sysi tern, this might prove a hardship were !the inspector to delay his inspection. , as the pun-. p for the point system would : have to be continued in operation until ; the pipe can e covered. 1 The ordinance is arbitrary in provid- ! ing for lead traps. Saddle joints on any i soil, waste or-vent ilat ing pipes are also

Judge Virgil S. Relter today decided that the city of Kast Chicago had the right to open One Hundred and Forty--first street, to its full width of eighty feet and derided that damages of $2,uO't should be paid to the Interstate Steel & Iron Co. for the additional property taken. This is the second of the highway openings that has been decided in the Interest of Kast Chicago. City Attorney Abe Ottenheimer has ably represented the city in both of these matters. Judg Relter held in his decision that the evidence showed that the re was a forty-foot street on the north side of the section line which had been opened by the Kast Chicago Co. previous to the sale of the property to the Interstate Iron and Steel Co. He held, therefore, that the onlj' damages the Interstate could rightfully claim was for tiie actual amount of the property taken. This means that a great east ami west artery will be opened between Indiana Harbor. Kast Chicago and Hammond and that Indiana Harbor will derive some of the benefit of the building of the Schlf singer Steel plant, in Hammond. The decisiont is a momentous one. It places the territory of Indiana Harbor in touch with its neighbors to the west where heretofore it was hemmed in a pocket formed by the railroads to the north and cast and the canal to the west.

Encouraging news is still being received regarding the intentions of the officials of the Northwestern Iron Co. (the Sehlesinger Co.) to go ahead with its work. The company is said to have notified the Kast Chicago Co. that it would like to have It get out of the way as quickly as poss.b'e so that it c: old commence the construction of concrete docks along the north end of its plant site. This is taken to mean that the company intends to go ahead with the work of preparing the plant side for the first buildings. If it did r.ot intend to go ahead with the work right away there would be no necessity for urgins haste with the Kast Chicago Co It is further rumored that additional capital has been interested in the project to build a big steel manufacturing plant on the south shore of Kake Michigan and that the plans have had to he revised to permit of an expansion of the original plans. Over in Kast Chicago it is reported that Contractor Joseph floppier has received a telegram from the engineer of the Baldwin works to go ahead with certain work of preliminary construction. This is taken to mean that this company too has decided to go ahead with its calumet region plant. If these rumors receive more su bs ta ii tial confirmation it' is expected that a great boom wil he precipitated.
