ACTIVITY IN J
GRIFFITH REALTY (Special to Thb Times.) Griffith, Ind., Nov. 14. H. Hnddow Smith of the Griffith Land company has sold for Milton R. Hart 113 acres at Hartsdale. The property has a frontage on the Elgin, Jollet & Eastern railroad Belt line. Indiana Harbor Belt line, the Michigan Central and Pennsylvania railroads, and with depots on the east and west lines of the property It is considered the best site, in that section for an industrial plant on a large scale. Mr. Smith has also sold for the Osterhout estate lots 25 and 26 and for Fred Gastel Jr. of Indiana Harbor lots 27. 28 and 29. with improvements consisting of a school house, all in block 8, Oak Forest addition, and for the same party 250 feet on Junction avenue, between Main street and the Krie depot. Mr. Smith reports a steady demand for lots and houses for purchase or rent and expects to close an Important deal for the Osterhout estate within the next ten days. The Griffith Land company
has reshinsrled and painted Its office buildingti, which adds greatly to the appearance of the street, and is re
modeling the interior of the office In expectation of a brisk spring busi
ness.
Mr. Smith, who is a strong believer
in the future of Griffith, is now com
pleting arrangements to take up his permanent residence here, in order to
give closer attention to the supervision and development of the Osterhout estate and other large landed and industrial Interests which he repre
sents. With the introduction of the
Bell phone system and electric power
plant within the next thirty days and the electric rod in the early spring.
it can be readily seen that it is only a question of time when Griffith Junction with its excellent shipping facilities and numerous trunk and belt lines will become a great residential and Industrial center and a strong ri
val to its neighbor, the magic city of Gary. The opening of Cline boulevard from Lake Michigan to Cedar Lake, which passes through the center of the town for a distance of two
miles, will constitute another attractive feature, and valuable asset to the
town.
FIRES CAUSE
MUCH ALARM
Forest fires that have been raging
in and arovind the town of Aetna dur
ing the past few days have caused the
powder makers much sleepless nights.
The fires began on Tuesday after
noon, prooaoly tne result of some hunter's carelessness. Workmen were called out to subdue the flames and on occasion the homes of employes of the
powder company were threatentd. The
local water works, which gets its sup
ply from the Little Calumet river, was operated full capacity and reels of boss a half mile in length were carried into the burning forests and marshes. Much difficulty was caused in fighting the fires In the tall, windsweptmarsh grasses. The fires In the Aetna, woods are an annual occurrrence. Usually they spread to the woods around Miller and north of -East Gary.
EAST CHICAGO OFFICIAL
GOES "BACK TO FARM"
Alderman Ferdinand Ketcik
Hands Resignation to Mayor Schlieker.
The un-expected has happened and
there is now an exception to prove the rule as set forth in the old adage that
public office holders seldom die and never resign. It has remained for Indiana Harbor to produce an aldermen
who has resigned. Alderman Ferdinand Ketcikis this remarkable entity
he having for the past three years and ten months represented the dear people
of the sixth ward in the East Chicago
city council.
Mr. Ketcik presented his resignation
to Mayor A. G. chlieker just previous to
his departure for Petersburg, Va. The
call of the soil has been hearkened to
by the erstwhile city councilman and he has purchased a farm in Petersburg
and intends to farm it for a spell. On Sunday, In company with his family, Mr.
Ketcik left, bag and baggage -for his new home. He wishes through this medium to bid all friends who he was
unable to see before his departure,
goodbye.
Just who will succeed Mr. Ketcik as
alderman for the sixth ward, to fill the
retiring alderman's unexpired term, has
not beom decided. It is understood that
two or three have been spoken of, but
no decision has been reached. It is
quite likely the council will decide up
on a successor at its next meeting.
JOHNSON CAN FILL OFFICES NOW IF HE CARES Although Mayor-elect R. O. Johnson of Gary doesn't take office until January 5 he can, as soon as he qualifies, make all of the appointments for the new administration. Mayor-elect Bosse of Evansville has made the most of appointments, to take effect in January. Mr. Johnson is expected to return to Gary tomorrow.
