SUCCESS COMES QUICK
Chicago, Lake Shore and
South Bend Railway Gets
Unexpected Traffic.

The success of the Chicago, Lake
Shore & South Bend interurban is al
ready assured. The unexpected traffic
in this line which is now in operation
between South Bend and Michigan City
has made necessary an entire rear
rangement of the schedule
This is said to be remarkable for
the reason that the line between Michi-
gan City and South Bend is not ex-
pected to be nearly so important as that
between Chicago and Michigan CITY.
The Chicago end of the line runs
through the famous Calumet region
which is not supplied with this quick
and convenient means of travel. It is
expected that the success of this ven
ture will interest other capitalists IN
the development of the transportation
facilities of the region and a road con
Meeting Hammond with the cities in
southern Lake county and southern IN
diana is one Of the probabilities of the
future.

At recent meeting of the Chicago
city council the matter of improving
Hegewisch came up for discussion
which resulted in it being practically
agreed by the members that $4,000
would be expended this year on num-
erous and much needed improvements.
SO sure is the council that this amount
will be expended that three cars Of
crushed stone were sent out TO Ward
Superintendent Galligan with the di-
rection to use it where it would do
the most good The majority of the
lHegewisch streets are in a bad condi-
ton and the use of this crushed stone
will come in rather handy. especially
with the coming rains that are IN
great measure responsible for the IN
trafficable streets.
