(Special to The Times.) CROWN POINT. IN P., June 1. The Phee Construction Company which has the contract to erect a $75,000 steel bridge over the Grand Calumet river In Hammond at the avenue of that name, has made no move to attempt the work and the bonding company has been notified by the county. The contract was let nearly a year and a lw.lf ago. One county official stated today that the difficulty in getting materials and labor and the increased cost of all materials are excuses being given by the many contractors handling county contracts who ar.e "slow in filling them. SPLENDID NEW COUNTY MAP OUT Lake county has been put on the map In minute detail as well as artistic fashion by Ray Sertey, county surveyor. From tracings which were a year and a half in the making, Mr, Seeley has compiled out of the official records, a map of the county on a scale of one mile to three inches. The map is 10 feet 9 inches by 4 feft 3 inches and hand traced on heavy linen. Each town is distinguished by a separate coloring. The roller is at the bottom and the map can be raised and lowered by a pully. Tl.e county surveyor' believes there is a demand Xcr about thirty of the maps which will, sell at $25 each. He has checked over the map and compared it to the records four times so as to eliminate inaccuracies. The Improved roads are shown by heavydark lines, subdivisions are marked and the names of owners and the acreage of every tract of Irind given.

Many proposals : which will be ready to harvest durhave been sifted to a few important I inR July. We are suggesting for lines of action. "Five acres of green j this green feed 90-day corn, sweet feed in July" has become a slogan of j corn, or oats and field peas mixed, the meetings as well as "grow a i One of the problems in the dairy garden" and "more sheep, more j business is to provide green 'feed wool."

wfii eh w; be turned -over to the Red 'v. ross society. In the piano and vocal numbers by Miss P. ith Virginia Watkins. paniste, and Mi:s Ma'.gaiet Eder, soprano, were well received. " Mi.s Watkin' first group was made up of a number of short but extremely beautiful numbers by Schuett, ending with the "Shadow fiance " Her second group consisted of "Prelude" and "Ha-ko-7:y March." both by I.iszt. the latter especially appealing by its bigness and nobleness of sontiment. Miss Eder's first appearance displayed a full rich voice of which she had excellent control, graduating from a most brilliant to the darkest tone color and from a small mezzo voice to a large, powerful dramatic tone which enabled her to interpret faithfully Mendelssohn's idea embodied in his "Conceit Aria." a really wonderful: composition for voice and piano. Her second group ranged from the light, tripping "Pussy Willows" of Shaw through the weird and very graceful "Indian Cradle Pong." Miss Eder's last group was "The Wandering One," by Caro Romo. a beautiful cycle of five songs portraying "Absence," "The Lament." "Doubt N'ot." "The letter" and "The Return." Part two of the program was 'The Spirit of the Sky," a fantasy made up of fancy and interpretive dancing and some speaking parts. This play was written, staged and costumed by fiwen Parsons. The dancers were all trained by Miss Parsons, who' was unable to share in the honors of the program. Miss Parsons was taken seriously ill on last Monday and on Tuesday evening underwent an operation at - the Wesley hospital for appendicitis. ;:ss May Brussels from the llinman School of Dancing, arrived in Hammond in 9 : SO last night and filled Miss Parsons' place as "Spirit of America." Paul .Smith made a most excellent "Spritsky," while Miss Wiedemann as the Herald added much to the success of the evening. Special mention must he given Miss Helen Wolf, who, in addition to her other two dances, substituted - the last moment for Grace ISell in the opening dance. Miss Victoria Luther received a stormy applause at the close of her Highland 1'ling. Miss Marion Cunningham made an ardent Pierot singing to his lady love. Miss Oenevieve Gauthier. who stood in the upper box. Miss Mildred Whinery scored! great hit as the western girl, while particular mention should be made of the beautiful work done by both Caroline Paxton and Marion McAleer.
