Before he left yesterday he said:
Il find that conditions prevailing in

Lake Shore & South Bend electric line.
went to Gary this morning to start the
work of setting the trolley poles be-
tween there and the Calumet river.
He was accompanied by four linemen
and a force of eight or ten laborers
was picked up at Gary. The rails have
been laid as far east as Gary and the
poles will now be set between those
points. Each pole will be set in a
foundation of cement. making them
very firm and lasting. The wires will not
| be strung until all the poles have been
| erected from South Bend to Chicago
which will not be before the latter
part of the summer. II is estimated
that it will require about ten days
to set the poles from Gary to Cal
umet, after which Mr.. Chapman will
transfer the force to South Bend
working west from there to this city

WENTWORTH AVENUE
SOON TO Be PAVED
Now That the Improvement
Furor Has Started West
Hammond Cannot Stop.

At meeting Of the West Hammond
board of local improvements yesterday
it was decided to pave Wentworth ave-
nue. as soon as the sewer is completed
on that street.
Some unexplainabIe streak of met
ropolitanism seems to have struck
West Hammond and the citizens in
general all are in favor of the i'm
provements. Wentworth avenue runs
over a mile south past the village
hall from PIummer avenue and when
paved will be a nice looking street
The approximate cost of macadarniz-
ing the street will reach up In the
neighborhood of $4,000 but that
amount did not feaze the board which
seemed determined to have a new West
Hammond and IL they keep up the
stride they have started, the success of
the project is assured.
The new sidewalks which were or
dered put in by the old board will be
started next week and 1t is expected
that they will be completed by fall
If nothing bars the progress of the
new sewer system 1t also is expected
to be completed by fall and then with
two of the leading streets of the will
age paved West Hammond ought to
rank as an up to date little city in
stead of a village. 1t is said on good
authority that a movement will then
be started to have 1t incorporated as a
town.
Several real estate men are booming
West Hammond and are meeting with
great success. They are rapidly get

All in Favor of Making Calumet an

Movable Bridges.

AS an indication of the wide spread

of navigation in the Calumet river,
there were nearly fifty OF the citizens
of Hammond and East Chicago and the
other cities along the Calumet river
who assembled in the federal court
room and argued for better bridge SER
vice, higher bridges. and more bridges.
Nearly all of the railroads were rep
resented, too but these representatives
had little to say, evidently preferring
the more subtle methods usually adopt
ed by them to accomplish their pur-
poses rather than openly antagonizing.
The meeting was a triumph for a
navigable Calumet and Lieutenant Col

preventative, won warm place in the
hearts of the residents of the Calumet
region by his determined stand in IA
