W. Il. Speckmann was in the city
from Dresden last week and did the

tactfully. "Speck" has any number of
warm friends among the old timers OF
Langdon and vicinity who will gladly
give his candidacy for clerk of court
their support at the polls.

WILL DOUBLE TRACK
Extra Rails for Holman st.
Considered by Fl. w. &
e. G. Railway Go.

A. L Drum, of A. L. Drum & Co.,
which concern is managing the Ham
mond, Whiting and East Chicago street
railway, will be in Hammond Monday
to confer with the city officials and
the residents on South Holman street
regarding the double-tracking of that
thoroughfare.
1t is now believed that the street
railway company is disposed to double
track that portion of the street while
they have the chance and do away
with the troublesome switches which
they are compelled to put in at various
intervals.
It is understood that the traffic on
the Hammond-toE East Chicago line is
heavy enough at the present time to
warrant the double tracking of the
road and that it Will probably be the
policy of the street railway company
to take advantage of the opportunity
to put in the extra track now instead
of running he risk of being shut out
for the life of the pavement.
BY double tracking portions of the
line in Hammond as the occasion de-
mands, the lines of the company in
this city will soon be double tracked
throughout and the company will then
be in a position to make the improve
ments elsewhere as they are needed.
