show that they were good fellows the
Gary crowd allowed the Lake county
superior court bill to be amended. In
the senate, yesterday, so as to relieve
Lake county of the expense of build
ing a new court house at Gary In case
the bill becomes a law and Gary gets a
superior court.
Originally the bill required the county
commissioners of Lake county to pro-
vide place for the superior court to
sit, ncase one is appointed, and this
gave rise to the argument that this
meant a third court house for Lake
county Lake county already has two
court houses, a circuit court house at
Crown Point that cost $30O,0 and
superior court house at Hammond that
cost 100000. And the people did not

den of another court house at Gary. So
when the Gary court bill came on eor

was offered cutting out that provision
for quarters for the new court.
