ARE PLANTING CATALP PAS
Michigan Central Park Be.
ing Prepared BY Land
scape Painters.

AS further Improvement to its park
site the Michigan Central railroad to-
day began the planting of trees on the
grounds south of the Michigan Central
tracks, between Holman street and the
depot.
The trees that We're being planted
are catalpas and were shipped from
Niles, Mich. They are quite large. and
owing to this will have a good start
next spring.
The catalpa is, first of all. an orna-
mental tree. and when in full bloom
has large leaves and white flowers. 1t
is fragrant, and later in the season de-
velopes a long. bean-like pod
When the Michigan Central railroad
decided to build a new depot for Ham
mond it went about it in the right
way. The niggardly spirit that it
showed toward Hammond in past years
was laid aside and the city given its
just dues.

FIRE STATION COMPLETE
City Buildings Are Now
Almost Ready For
Occupancy.

The new Central fire station and city
barns have taken shape to such an ex-
tent that nothing more than the detail
work is left to complete. The walls
are entirely completed, as is also the
hose tower and the carpenters are now
at work on the interior finish.
The contractors have had ideal
weather this summer and fall to do
their work and have progressed with it
accordingly. 1t is thought that by
Thanksgiving that the building will be
so far completed that the moving into
them may begin.
Work will also have to begin on the
raising of Michigan avenue in order
to bring it a level with Holman
street. The new building is built on the
Holman street level and stand consid-
cradle above the Michigan avenue
street level.
