At the hearing: of the petition of the Gary Street Railway Company at the Gary Commercial Club yesterday. E. J-.. Lewis of the state public service commission. Indicated at the close of the lengthy session that he would trant tho railway company to charge an 5cent cash fare and commutation rate

In consideration of the two-cent increase in fare, the street car company agreed to extend the first zone to the plant of the O. K. Giant Battery Co., so that workmen can reach the factory trr a single fare, instead of two fares which are now collected. The company extended the second zone to include the Cudahy plant doing: away with an increased fare to Gary work1 men employed at that indlstry. The provision of one fare, from the L. C. L. yards to Hohman street. Hammond was nserted in the agreement at the suggestion of City Attorney McMahan of Hammond, who attended the hearing. According to Mr. McMahan the railroad workmen at the L. C. L. were compelled to pay an extra fare or get. off and walk two blocks to their work and in returning home were forced to walk the two blocks if they did not wish to pay the extra fare. According to the statement of President C. XV.

SENATE MAY PASS THREE BILLS TODAY Fate of KipeT "Cure All" Tax Bill Remains to be Ascertained Later in Day INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.. Jlly'23. Probability e-f passage of three Import
ant measures by the enate today and consequent possibility of adjournment of the special session of the general assembly tomorrow night loomed today when the legislature settled down, for its eleventh day's work. Tha three bills marked for passage are: Soldier memorial measure, with pos
sible amendments
Johnson home rule tax bill with minor changes. Coal commission bill. Senate republicans, in caucus last night agreed upon the home rule bill, it is understood with minor amendments to the measure as passed by the houaa. - it: Majority members caucused again today and it as stated that the memorial bill was marked for passabe before tonight's recess. "Whether or not it is intended to raise the $2,000,000 aprropriatlon called for by the house bill was not made known. The original plan was for a $10,000,000 appropriation. No difficulty is to be encountered in putting over the coal commission bill, minority members letting it be known they would not oppose suspension of the fules for" the passage of all three of the emergency measures. - One big question remained to be cleared up when the session convened today the fate of the Kifer "cure-all" tax bill, the senate substitute for the house bill legalizing the action of the state board of tax commissioners in making horizontal lax assessment increases. The Kifer bill was being threshed out In caucus and no word was forthcoming
as to its probable fate.
