Matters affecting the future of In
diana Harbor in many ways were dis
| cussed The big sewer system came in
for its share and in addition to this it
was decided to build large open drain
a mile and a half in length, twenty
| feet wide at the top and six feet at
| the bottom, to carry off the surface wa
| ter that abounds, from the city limits
| eastward. The exact location Of this,
however, is not absolutely decided upon
| although some plans have been drawn
streets, the size of the ditch, etc.
showing the topography of certain
streets, the size of the ditch, etc.
| Want New District.
| All of this is with a ciew to build
| ing up a residence district in Indiana
Harbor which will take care not only
of the people desiring homes in this
city. but the overflow from Gary which
adjoins Indiana Harbor. This means a
vast amount of paving and the laying
of cement sidewalks and considerable
| building Of homes on the part of the
East Chicago company in the territory
it is proposed to develop.
| Big Outlay Promised.
| The aggregate outlay before all Is
accomplished will reach up into the
hundreds of thousands Of dollars, but
nothing will be undertaken in this line
| of course, until the sewer and drain
| ditch are constructed.
What it will mean to Indiana Har-
Dor when these great improvements are
under way it is impossible for the most
|
met region is lacking in residence dis
tricts, which accounts for the high
rents in the cities of this territory
when the mills and other industries are
in operation.
The residence district 1t is proposed
to develop is bounded by One Hundred
and Forty first street, Chicago avenue
and the Indiana Harbor railroad on the
north. south and west, room being left
on the east for further expansion.
