There is nothing new to report con-
corning the actual building of the
Crown Point-Gary street car line. The
commencement of operations is prob
ably delayed by the state of the money
market, and the promoters of the
project do not seem to be in any hurry
to build the line. The failure of the
commissioners to annex the section OF
country south of Gary, to the river, will
materially delay the game, as this has
been the bone of contention, the pro-
! moters failing to come to salts
factory agreement at the Gary end OF
line. From all appearances nothing
further will transpire in the matter
before next spring when Crown Point
ers hope to see the operations of build
ing the line will be under way.
