GARY BOARD MEETING
Attorney K. K. Knapp Tries
to Force Issue in
Controversy.

At the meeting of the Gary board
yesterday. K. X. Knapp made an effort
to force the issue in the franchise con-
troversy between the Gary & Interur-
ban line and the town of Gary
He offered a resolution to the town
board requiring the Gary & Interurban
company to fulfill it's contract as prom
Used, accept the extension offered by
the board or get out and let some
other company build the line.
Frank Gavit, who has appeared for
the Gary & Interurban company all
along. maintains that the company's
franchise cannot be forfeited and that
the delay so far has not been the
companys fault, but the result of liti-
cation and other extenuating circum-
stances.
The matter was finally referred to
L. L Bomberger, the city attorney, who
will investigate the matter and report
to the city council, informing them as
to just what steps they can take to
compel the Gary & Interurban com
pany to live up to it's franchise.
Mr.. Gavit submitted a contract to
the Gary Light company by which a
rental was fixed for the use of the
poles of the Gary & Interurban com
pany upon which thei feed wires will
be strung, Mr.. Knaf reiterated his
statement that he w aid not deal with
the Gary & Interurban company di-
rectly and any arrangements that are
made along this line will have to be
made between the Gary Light company
and the Gary town board.
Regarding the franchise matter, Mr.
Knapp said he hoped it would be
brought to a head at the next meeting
when tho city attorneys report will be
heard. Every one is sick of the delay
and pressure will be brought to bear
to bring about an understanding be-
! tween the contending parties in the
near future.
The consideration of the rights OF
Richard Much, who refuses to sell his
land to the Chicago, Lake Shore &
Eastern railroad for yard purposes and
who has been evicted by the action OF

was crying. He called her back and
asked her more about her case. He
found that her husband was unable to
work on account of an injured foot. The
plucky wife left her children with the
father and went to Chicago where she
was able to secure some work. Finally

THE WOODY APHIS

The woody aphis has appeared in
the apple orchards in great abund-
ance and now is the time t, get to
work to exterminate them. AS they
are now on the twigs, as well as
around the knots where the limbs
of the tree have been cut away. If
they are not killed soon they will go
down around the roots of the tree
to come up again next summer
much more numerous than they
are now.
Some people don't seem to know
what the woody aphis is and for the
benefit of those l will explain, so
that all will be able to recognize
them when seen. It appears as a
white, cottony substance on the
branches and around the knots Of
trees. So be alive to your own int
erests and get rid of them, and save
a great injury to your orchards.
Spray trees with the black leaf solu-
ton. Take one gallon of black leaf
to so gallons of water, and make a
solution by adding the two together,
and stir until thoroughly mixed.
