JOHN KUHLMAN EXPLAINS
The CIRCUMSTANCES
Thinks $1,000 Should Cover the Out
lay Necessary to Put Structure
Into Usable Condition-Work in
Pumping Station Progressing Well
-Cofferdam Will Be Substantial.

No immediate relief seems to be in
sight for the people of Hammond who
depend on the Holman street bridge
for service. The South Chicago City
railway company ignores the condition,
the city council is not under obligation
to make an appropriation large enough
to cover the entire expense, and the
county council whose place 1t is to make
an appropriation is waving the paupers'
flag. AS far as a new bridge is concern
ed it is out of the question, the county
council by whom the appropriation
for a county bridge should be made
failing to see the necessity for one.
How long the people of Hammond will
have to contend with the existing con-
ditions no one is willing to predict.
KuhIman Explains.
John Kuhlman in speaking of the
prospects said this morning:
1.-TWO years ago I recommended that
repairs be made on this bridge, by
strengthening the abutments with
stone work instead of letting the street
car company prop up the foundation
with ties which weakened in the course
of time. 1 would suggest now that
we advertise for bids to repair the
bridge and that the South Chicago City
Railway company. the city of Ham
mond, and the county divide the eX-
pense among themselves. I am not an
authority on bridge building but
should think that for $500 we could
have the bridge put in fairly good
shape again. The city of Hammond
should not bear the whole burden, in
fact it need make only such repairs
as cost less than $500. The county
should do everything else But since
there is no ray of light from that end.
may be the county council could be
induced to pay part of the expense.
| The bridge can be used for a time
Ilonger for team traffice and the county
council seemingly argues that if the
street car company wants TO use the
bridge it should stand the expense for
repair.
Company Ought To Help.
In my opinion the street car COM
pany ought to be enough interested
to spend few hundred dollars at least
Its present mode of transferring the
passenger is unsatisfactory both to
the people of Hammond and. I am sure
to the company also.

Dredge company is progressing salts

erected as a catch basin viii be sub

In a rousing speech before the Whit
ing council which was enthusiast tically
cheered by the large crowd present
heavy property owner of Whiting.
John Beze charged: If the fifty year
franchise is granted TO the Hammond,
Whiting & East Chicago Street Rail-
way company, the councilmen Will not
do it for nothing" He then turned
sauarely around and facing President
Cameron, declared that that man
should be tarred and feathered and
driven out of town. There was no mis-
taking OF the identity of that
man" as the speaker was look
ing right at Mr.. Cameron. The bold
statement brought forth defeaning
applause and cheering to the great dis
comfture Of the members Of the council
and entirely drowned out the attempt
ed reply to the assertion by Alderman
Long When the latter arose he was
told to sit down by the crowd and when
he attempted to say anything he was
met with a volley OF jeers.
The regular meeting Of the city coun-
ell has come and gone and the city
council and the people of Whiting are
no nearer a solution of the franchise
question than they We're at the time OF
its first Introduction at council meet
ing. This fact. however, was proved te
be a certainty, that the majority of the
| council are in favor of the measure ane
/ the people are opposing II as a unit
/ The entire meeting last night was hlle'
with criticisms and insinuations unit
it became so heated that it narrowed
down to point blank accusations.

WOMAN TRIES SUICIDE,
WILL PROBABLY SUCCEED

Mrs. Annie Weaver, forty-five years
old, Of 22l First Street northwest, at
tempted suicide this morning by inhaling
illuminating gas. She was discovered
about 6 o'clock by William Kesrnes. a
boarder, who detected the odor of gas
and traced 1t to Mrs. Viewers room on
the first floor.
She was removed to the Emergency
Hospital, where it was said this after
noon that she had not regained con-
seriousness, and little hope is entertained
for her recovery.
Mrs. Weaver came 10 Washington
several months ago from Lancaster,
Pa. She rented the First street house
and fitted Il up for roomers- The ven
ture did not prove a success. and recent
ly she had been Obliged TO pawn jeWelry
TO meet expenses. on several occasions
she had told persons living in the house
that she would have TO do something
10 raise money, as the rent from the
rooms did not meet the expenses.
She said nothing about killing herself
but last night went 10 her room and
wrote several letters, These she mailed
and. II is believed they were directe
to persons out of town. Her husband
died i've years ago in Lancaster.

THE APPOINTMENTS.

The appointments made by Governor
BROOKS will meet with the approval of
a large majority of the people of the
state. OF course there are those who
are disappointed. Where more than
one candidate m up for an office
there is sure to be heartburnings, but
there is compensating joy in the
hearts Of those who succeed. So far
as Albany county is concerned, it
neither gained nor lost. 1t would have
pleased many people had the governor
appointed Mr.. Whitehouse to the po-
sition of state veterinarian, but they
will be satisfied If Mr.. Phaeging per-
forms the duties Of the office in a salts
factory mi In the case of Mr..
Campbell, 1t was a question of fish
position. All of the candidates for the
place were from this county INT all
were good men, Mr.. Campbell's only
advantage appearing to be that the
governor was of the opinion that his
active and efficient service as fish com.
missioner should be recognized again.
In the selection of Mr.. Fuller as com.
missioner of public lands the governor
simply stands upon a good record. The
commissioner has increased the re-
ceipts of his office fifty per lent and
has given excellent satisfaction
throughout the state. In the case OF
Mr.. Henderson, it can also be said that
efficiency has won out. There has
been no active candidate against him,
probably for the reason that it has
been well understood that the COVER
nor did not look with favor upon a
change. Experience is of vast impor,
lance in an examiners office, and Mr..
Henderson has had plenty of it.
For the various boards good men
have been chosen and the states In.
terests will be taken care of to the
fullest extent.
