EW HOSPITAL BUILD
3 PROPERLY F
IMED
Financing of the Mercy hospital building, which has been standing idle, partially completed, for some time owing to the lack of funds has been accomplished through the instrumentality of Capt. H. S. Norton, property agent of the Gary Land company. He was successful in negotiating an $80,000 loan on the building, which insures the Immediate completion of it. Capt. Norton, who is out of town, wired this information to Gary. No details as to the duration of the loan nor the name of the loaning company has been received. It is said to be a big eastern . insurance company. Iloepltal Heady Soon. Capt. Norton is executive chairman

financing the hospital. He also represented the Sisters of St. Francis, Burlington, la., and the Roman Catholic Bishop of Fort Wayne in completing the negotiations. Although the hospital will be conducted by the sisters It will be operated on, a non-sectarian baa's, being open to people of all creeds. The Gary T. M. C. A. officials did very creditable work In aiding to raise $40,000 for the hospital as a mark of appreciation for the hard work the sisters have done since they came to Gary in 1906. In working for Mercy hospital all religious lines have been forgotten. It ia now evident that the hospital will be ready for occupancy within a few months.
Work on another Oarv himinuM
block, the highest in Massachusetts

structure will be known a the Corlett building. It will cover a space of
67x75 feet and will cost upwards cf $30,000.

To Contain Store and Flat. The Corlett building, whicn is being named after a friend of Col. Savage, will adjoin the Wlsner building at Sixth avenue and Massachusetts street, also owned by the Savage syndicate. In the first floor will be located store rooms, while the upper two floors will

west. Announcement was made today that Gerometta' Bros, will start the construction of a one-story brick building, fifty feet frontage, at 1302-04 South Broadway, next week. It will contain storerooms and later on two more stories will be added to it. The building will cost $20,000 the loan being obtained through Paerbody, Houghtellng and company, Chicago. The Geromettas came to Gary as Italian imigrants a few years ago. They secured employment as mechanics and in a short time branched out as contractors. Since then the young men have erected several busi
ness and apartment buildings and now own apartment houses and business block in their own right, valued at $100,000.
ANOTHER INTER URBAN STORY Another story was sprung yesterday regarding an interurban line , which it Is proposed to build connecting Fort Wayne with Plymouth, connecting with the line to Laporte, and it was even stated that plans are under way for the construction of such a road. The Co-Operative Construction company already has eighty-five miles of road in northern Indiana and proposed to connect Laporte with Plymouth and then follow the Pennsylvania right of way into . Fort Wayne. It will be a link in the proposed New Tork-Chicago air line, a
project put forth some years ago. Business men are anxious to see a trolley line completed between this city and South Bend. Fort Wayne News.

The same policy of retrenchment where retrenchment Is possible without obstructing progress will be continued. Lower taxes and Increased efficiency In the public department service will be his slogan, as it has been ever since he took hold as mayor. In fact, all his past policies, for none of which he has any apologies to make, will be continued. . Mayor Schlleker called attention to the number of public improvements that have come up and were taken care of out of the general fund, as they had not been provided for in the
tax levy spread in 1911. This Included among other things the sea wall and bath house on the lake front, the Forsyth avenue bridge, the temporary bridge at Chicago avenue, the new lire engines and patrol wagons, street signs, reconstruction of Magoun avenue sewer, the garbage crematories, and other expenses that were unforeen but necessary.

the duty of that official to take care of the matter. Charles Greenwald was prosecuting attorney at the time and
he refused to act in the matter. Since
Mr. Paterson has ;taken office, however, I the mayor has spoken to him, and the question was brought immediately to the notice of the cement people. They made the same explanation that they made at the club meeting the other night and they were given the opportunity to make good. Just as the Commercial club agreed to do Wednesday night, before taking further steps in the matter. I Intend If elected to keep
after these people until satisfactory results are obtained. Another Improvement which the city attorney has been instructed to In

the railroads. The law governing viaducts has not heretofore been particularly clear, even the attorney general who was appealed to for an opinion as to what proportion of the expense the city would have to bear, was not prepared to give an opinion. Last winter a new law governing this mat-
