GARY TRUSTEE SEARS
WANTS SALOONS CLOSED
At Board Meeting Takes Action Regarding Wretched
Fire Protection Afforded the City of Gary
and Something Will Be Done

The Gary town board had a hu1y ses-
sion yesterday and as usual after
fire, they took up the matter of provid-
ing more adequate fire protection The
ugly head of the saloon question poked
itself into view again when Trustee
John Sears moved that the police. be
directed to close the IA or Is saloons,
the licenses of which have expired.
Since the destruction of the Savoy
hotel in Gary, entailing loss of about
$4,000, the insurance companies have
been after the members of the town
board in an effort to persuade them to
improve the facilities for fighting fires
Great Danger to City.
At present all of the protection the
city has is a hose cart and such water
pressure as the water company is able
provide. The pressure in the mains, of
course, not sufficient for the fighting
of any but the small blazes and if it
were not for the fact that the houses
in Gary are still widely separated the
danger of the destruction of the entire
city would be great.
The matter was discussed by the
trustees and the fact that the city has
already exceeded its bonded indebted
ness would make it necessary to put the
question of spending a larger sum
to a referendum vote. 1t is a recog-
nized fact that there should be fire
station in the first subdivision and one
on the south side but the city is too
poor to build one now.
Onthe south side there is no city
water and this makes the matter of
fire protection all the more difficult of
solution. 1t has been proposed to in
stall chemical outfits for fighting fires
in this part of the city and the pur-
chase of a steamer was also proposed.
The board did no more than discuss
the matter and will take the necessary
action at some future session.

beating the Cubs out of a welI-earned
and welI-deserved victory, but as they
broke the tie Immediately and won,
the luck of the dodgers only served
to add interest to the game, and the
Cubs got the verdict, to 8.

Sears Causes Sensation.

Trustee John Sears, who was one OF
the signers of the remonstrance in Gary.
caused a sensation in the meeting of
the Gary town board yesterday when
he declared that the IA or Is saloons.
which have been running without IL
censes since the remonstrance was de-
clared valid, should be closed UP by the
police
There was an impressive silence
when his motion was made and pres
emily President T. E. Knots declared
the motion lost for the want of a Sec

of showing the Gary saloonkeepers
where Sears stands and also of indi-
eating the fact that the demonstrators
are still active and propose to continue
their agitation of the saloon question

The officials of the Gary and Inter-
urban company appeared before the
town board and announced their inten-
ton Of beginning the construction of
the road on Eleventh avenue. The COM

f. H. Hill, one of the big ToIeston
property owners, appeared before the

which Eleventh avenue enters ToIes-

peculiar manner and it is deemed advis-

L. A. BRYAN.
The above statement was made ves-
terday afternoon to TINES reporter
by Mr.. Bryan when asked if he thought
that the remonstrance, which he sign
ed, had had any effect on business. This
optimistic view is contrary to the opin-
ion OF many of the merchants and real
estate ment who claim that it has at
least temporarily hurt their business.
Mr.. Bryan, the city treasurer, is one OF
the largest real estate holders in the
south end, which is supposed to have
bee nmost effected by the effort to dry
up the town.
Says He Can't Expect ANYTHING F1sa
He states that the sales of real es
tate, though not as large as they were
before the financial stringency, are all
that could be expected under the ex
listing circumstances. He states that
the purchasers, instead Of being dive
keepers and saloonmen in that section
of the city as they were formerly. are
now business men who desire to build
up that section of the city with sub
stantial business houses, hotels and
bangs. and make it a desirable quarter
in which to live and transact business.
In this manner he believes that the
value OF real estate in this quarter will
increase instead of there being a re-
duction.
Mr.. Bryan reports that there are sew
eral enterprises about to locate on the
south side, among them being another
bank and another weekly newspaper.
on neither of which institution he is
willing to give any information at the
present time.
