"Asphalt is Infinitely more expensive to lo-.-p in rerair and dotsn't give -half li.e service. But the real pr.-blem of Hohman street Is how to eliminate truek traTie. TarrJirl streets should b u"l f'.)r heavy traffic." Other automobile men In the city are of the same opinion. "Pave Hohman St. our single beautiful residential street. Cut out the heavy traffic." is their cry. It is said that resolutions will be Introduced at the next meeting of the city council prohibiting use of Hchman st. for heavy hauls. John Snyder, a taxi owner and operator, thinks that a r.ew top-dressing would be necessary. "From the manner repairs have been made in the past I can't see the economy of using the old method. Batch here and patch there and holes everywhere." BOONE WOULD GIVE A Jurors In Room 2 of the Hammond superior court wll bo treated to a string bean dinner if a proposal of Attorney Dave Boone, who represents the plaintiff in the Indiana Harbor b-an case, is carried out. He has several cans ready to use as samples. Charley Dyer, attorney for the defendant shakes his head doubtfully and signifies that he fears the effects upon the Jurors. He would ra.tl-r have them pass judgment by merely feeling and looking at the b an?. Since Thursday noon he jurors and Judge Hardy have been llstcidng to the e dome as submitted in tho dispute between Abe Kahdu. the Harbor croeer. and the Stevoitson-Benko , wholesalers, regarding the quality of the beans which Kahdu boucht m the fall of 1017. There is much quibbling between the opposing counsel and complications are added because much of the tesMniony must be taken through an Interpreter. So far the gist of the complaints lias been that the beans were "fulf cf strings" and who "like they had dried on the stalk," Tho critical moment will come when both sides present their samples of beans supposed to have been taken from the same lot and allow the jury to pass judgment on the quality.
