Apropos of th intert -si ar

t.i sujsjestea wider.tng of Hohnian .;eet. and the several plans advanced for it3 completion., recalls to ac a condition e.-astins in SprtnS-:i-M, Mo., that from most every c.'igU- j.s parallel to the problem now C'-n fronting Ham nionti. l.i the early eighties the Frisco railroad system established its diV,'!"ti point an.l jreneral shops west of :h Mississippi Jtiver at Spritis-I:----!. Tim-., of course, 5a riso to 'apit- rjwt".i for the cit. and i i a cii.-.rt time, sretts and business "'fcs bulided to accomodate a ci!v " ttii thousand were filled upon to sustain the business needs of a city or thirty thousand Street. . e iinvde I and buildings iiiadou :m I n

adjacent to tills square, ana the city a a whole truly radiates from tl.ls center. The- Loop 'or Hammon', will be Just where sentiment wants :t, be it ono 'block or one mll-j from the State Line, it can be Ilohman street, or some as yet unnamed street. Sentiment at tiiis time I feel largely favors Hohman street, and will continue to do so providing inactivity, carelessness and neglect in taking advantage of the opportunity does not shift it. Either or "both, the public square or arcade, while seeming- a noelty to us, are not theories, their advantages being- utilized by many metropolitan centers, and in every instance they hwve been found to accomodate satisfactorily, with case and dispatch large n timbers of pedestrians. The employment of these agencies for Hammond, will do the Kreatcst good for the least cost, will establish in this vicinity ftn individuality for Hammond, and will, if approached properly, have ramifications that will assist In the solving of some of our other municipal problems, and need. no smoke screen of words to defend it. It is incumbent right now for those interested in the Immediate area radiating from the four corners TO GET BUST.
