BELT LINE CONSIDERED
Sanitary District Commit
tee Across the Line
Takes Up Project.

A belt line railway that will connect
all manufacturing and industrial points
along the drainage canal between Joliet
and Chicago. is being projected by the
sanitary district
The project was made known when
representatives of the Chicago, Kansas
City and Joliet railroad appeared be-
fore the real estate comittee OF the
board and asked for a lease of sufficient
land along the canal for a right of way
for their road between Western avenue
and Joliet.
The representatives offered 4 per
cent on the appraised valuation of the
land for the right of way. but this
was considered inadequate, and their
proposition was taken under advise
ment 1t was then the plans for the belt
line railway were divulged.
Hoyt King, manager of the real es-
tate department for the board told the
committee that a belt line railway
wou bring to Chicago more benefits
than sub-leasing to individual lines.
It is probable the matter will be de-
termined at the next meeting of the
committees.

In Texas.

Former Chicago Pitcher Passes Away
In Texas.
Newark, N. j., June 24.-Relatives of
Virgil Garyin, the one time famous
pitcher, learned today of that players
death, which occurred on Monday at
the home of his parents in Texas. Tu-
berculosis, the elimination of several
years of dissipation, was the cause of
his demise.
Garvin's last big league performances
were with Brooklyn and the New York
Americans in 1904. With the former
team he got into trouble in st. Louis
and was released Clark Griffith also
gave him a trial, but his erratic habits
resulted disastrously for Garvin. and
he was let out. During the past three
seasons Garvin played ball on the Pa
ciflc coast.
During his career he played with the
Chicago Nationals and Americans, New
ark. and Milwaukee.
His wife, who remained loyal to him
during his checkered career, is left
penniless, and a subscription fund is
being arranged for her benefit.
