Temporary fcewers undermine East State street. Calumet avenue and 160th street, following the Green line tracks Into East Chicago and disrupting the service In an indirect way. Double tracking is Impossible, railroaders say, while these temporary sewers remain. They contend that as long at temporary sewers make double tracking impossible the street car service will be "impossible." Criticism Is being directed at the city administration by the anto-deep sewer forces for the placng of these temporary sewers and In their argu-

They practically admit that Hammond needs the deep sewers In contradictory arguments. "City councllmen who are flghtlnff the railroads and the street ca roompanles are being censured. The city is to blame that the Green line hasn't double tracks and a good service," they claim, "As for the railroads, let the councllmen go after the police commissioners and have the ordinances enforced instead of haranglng away all the time."
