NEW PLANT TO BE
ENORMOUS AFFAIR
Gary Editor Wants Sixth Avenue Made a Boulevard at City's Expense and Put Heavy Traffic on Eighth Avenue.
Eighth avenue property owners of Gary who met at the Gary Commercial
Club on Saturday night to urge the rc
surfacing of their street but at the city's expense because it is a general
traffic thoroughfare denounced a Gary
editor for his selfish advocacy of the
improvement of Sixth avenue.
The editor In question has been trying to procure the resurfacing of Sixth
avenue a street seldom used for traffic and having it made a boulevard at the public's expentie. This whole-souled patriot with three or four others
are the only ones having their homes facing in Sixth avenue. Eighth avenue
is the location of many homes. The editor, who was denounced In strong
terms by A. D. Schaefter, secretary of
the Commercial Club. Attorney Frank
L. Welsheimer, Architect J. E. Ham-
mons and others, wanted Eighth ave
nue made a "back street" and Sixth
avenue a boulevard. H. A. Faine presided at the meeting
Mr. Taine appointed Mr. Schaefter, Mr,
Hammons. and V. U. Young as members of a committee to meet with the board of works and present to the works commissioners the sentiment of the
property wner.
The Eighth avenue owners want the
street resurfaced or repaired if possible
at the public expense, because it Is
heavy traffic thoroughfare. Steps will
be taken to have the new pavement of such condition that It will admit of the
laying of street car pavements. There was also a sentiment express
ed that Eighth avenue be extended to Tolleston. While the residents of the street are willing to have Sixth avenue get all that is comtng to it they do not want It madaa "back street" and Sixth avenue a boulevard merely to satisfy the selfish desire of one rsidnt.
