HOW WOULD IT
AFFECT HAMMOND
Speculation Is Ripe Regard
ing Reported Consolida-
ton of Roads.
ALL LOOK FOR LOOP SERVICE
Electrifcation of Illinois Central
May Mean Great Things
For Hammond.
ALL LOOK FOR LOOP SERVICE

Speculation is rife in business and
railroad circles of Hammond as to
the probable extent consolidation of
the Erie railroad and the Hartman in
terest would affect Hammond.
The Illinois Central railroad. the
Kensington and Eastern road, which is
now under construction, and the c. c.
& l. line being Hartman roads, it is
believed that a loop service over these
roads with the Erie as the connecting
link is probable and that with the
development of the region the plan
will materialize. Specula ton goes
even farther since the Illinois Central
is seriously consideEing the electrifi-
cation of it's suburban service. 1t is
believed that in the event the loop
materializes that 1t will be electrified.
Transcontinental System.
1t is understood of course that the
primary object of the Hartman inter
ests in securing control Of the Erie is
to complete a national wide system
for which an eastern line is still lack
ing The Illinois Central connects the
Great Lakes with the Gulf; Hartman
also controls the Union Pacific and the
Southern Pacific and all that Is needed
to perfect the transcontinental system
| is a line from Chicago to Omaha to
connect with the western lines.
Electrification of the Chicago sub
urban roads is bound to come sooner
or later and if Hammond is on the
| loop it will be included in the change Of
service.
The public is prepared for electri-
| fcation and is discussing the prob;
lens freely The complete electrical
ton Of the c., C. & l. line has suggest
ed itself to the public, it being argued
that four trunk lines now lead from
lChicago to Cincinnati and the c., c. &
IL being the newest of these will
have to adopt some other method t
| compete with the other three.
New Depots Are Postponed.
When the subject of building new
depots is preached to any of the Of
ficiais of the various roads who ma.
figure in the Illinois Central loop serv
ice the definite time is always post
poned with an explanation that thing
which Hammond people are not We
looking for are expected to come up.
A change and betterment in suburban
| service can not come to soon for Ham
mond and they feel satisfied that
the consolidation of the Hartman an
Erie lines would bring 1t about tina
the Nickel Plate and Chicago & West
tern Indiana road would soon come {

In Gary, which has recently gone

the county local option law recently
passed by the state legislature is a
good measure, and that it will be of
great power in electing the republican
candidate TO the governorship. II

that as soon as possible Gary Will be
taken out of the dry list.
Works Out for Good.
One of the leaders of the democratic
party In Gary, an attorney who has
taken an active interest in the local
situation, n. A. Beck, recently stated
that he thought that although Govern

for the purpose of disrupting the party
that he had done far more good thar
he had done harm and the republicans
would make great gains in the south

ment is against liquor.

COUNCEEMEN FAVOR
RETAINING OLD FORCE
While the Mayor Insists on Appoint
ing Only Those Who Are Known To
Be in Sympathy with His Admin
istration-Warm Contest Expected.

There are rumors to the effect that
the new city council when it takes
charge next week of the city govern
ment will not be in sympathy with
the policy of Mayor Donald especially
as to the selection of the police force
and on some other matters. If these
rumors are to be credited the new
board will stand about six to three in
opposition to the mayor. If there is
to be breech between the council
and the mayor it will probably devotion
at the first meeting. 1t is known that
the newly elected aldermen have had
conferences among themselves as to
the policy that would be pursued.
1t is not to be presumed, however.
that the council will oppose measures
just simply because the mayor fav-
ors them. The members of the new
council are too patriotic for this and
are entirely too broad guaged to be
actuated by such principles, SO it is
probable that about the only thing that
there will be any great division on
will be the selection of the police and
possibly other officers of the city gov
eminent
The selection of the police force
vests in the council which includes
the mayor. Mayor Donald has claimed
all along that he wanted a police
force that was in entire sympathy with
MS policies; that as the executive
mead of the government he was charg.
ed with the responsibility of maintain
ing good order in the city, and for
this reason he wanted officers who
wonId be in sympathy with the policy
or his administration. However. if
the new council assumes the entire
responsibility for the selection of the
officers of the city, 1t would appear
that the mayor would be relieved of
the responsibility, which. in
turn, would pass to the shoulders of
the aldermen.
AT any event, it is hoped that there
viii not be warning factions in the
city government. Very often individ
ual opinions will have to give way to
the public good, and it is hoped, that
despite the predictions to the contrary
the new board will move along in a
harmonious way. The members are
all patriotic citizens, having the well
fare of Hattiesburg at heart and thew
are sure to do what they think best
for the city, regardless of any fac
tionalism or any desire to "get even"
with anybody.
