Happenings of a Day In Lake County's Lively Capital

SHUCKS

From the Diary of Si. Lenc

A. Ward IWWs cone t Imlnyoplus t' Kf't -r slice ' pu. Vera Mi an sz she alius knows when her husband wit.-, hum, an' th' old man sez so, too. Most enny street looks like or fancy dross ball nowadays. A preat deal of discussion has been nroiiscd over the Hezor ditch drainage proposition and It is exported that a well deflned opposition to the plan of making the proposed improvements will develop If the ueneriil public is forced to stand their share of the assessment. The pticral theory Is that, although It is admitted that the liezor Is a dralnatre channel for about the entire city, even If the entire ditch was rched to its present water carrying capacity that it would not suffice at times of bin rains and f reshets to carryoff the water. Aeain without an elaborate system of catch basins and provisions for cleainK the water conduit along: its entire course It would soon till and become absolutely worthless as a water carrier. The improvement If properly Installed, means the expenditure of from forty to fifty thousand dollars, and many consider that much money sunk Into a proposition where no direct benefit will accrue, as being more than the public is able to stand, in the face of the many improvements recently made- in Crown Point. Many contend that if the ditch was properly cleaned out and Us outlet to Deep river straightened under the Erie railroad and a strict supervision kept and prosecution made of those throwing any kind of refuse in the ditch, tsat most of the trouble that now confronts the residents alonK the water course in regard to stench, etc., would be obviated. Certainly the proposition is one to po slow on, and the council will consider many phases of the question and procure expert advice before a step is taken which means the expenditure of much money where little possible benefit and perhaps possible harm come from tamperine with Crown Point's erratic little water course. The Gary and Southern traction line now carries about six or elht "regulars" from Crown Point to Gary and return each day, some beintr employed In Gary offices and others jroinjf to business schools in the "steel town." Considering that the line Is a new one. the officials consider the business done as beinpr almost phenomenal and expect preat thlnprs when the public be

comes used to the advantages of the road as a traffic medium. It is expected that the North Main street paving will be completed in Its entirety by the end of this week, and those alonsr the line of the improvement will not be sorrv to te t-IH est K
