HAMMOND ARCHITECT TAKES PLUM
FROM 40 WHO WANTED IT

]. T. Hutton of Hammond, is being
complimented on all sides on his sue
cess in securing the contract for the
drawing of the plans and specihca-
tions for the $250,OO0 Lebanon court
house.
AS Mr.. Hutton secured this contract

that his fee for drawing the plans will
be $4,000 minus what it will cost him
for draughtsmen and other expenses.
Mr.. Hutton will at once increase his
office force to proportions sufficiently
large to handle a job of this magnitude
as the county officials of Boone county
are anxious that he begin work on the
job as soon as possible.
Mr.. Hutton estimates that it will
take six weeks to draw the plans for
the building and it will then require
several months for him to supervise the

New York, May 24-The axle on

everybody thinks will sell higher. or
nearly everybody. and the one stock
which a bear is afraid to sell short 1t
is going to sell this year. it's friends
say, at rs or so. The possibilities of the
Gary plant are beyond the magma
ton. There steel will be made cheaper
than any other place in the world. and
the profits of the United States Steel
corporation will be staggering. Then
it is learned that a movement is under
way to consolidate the larger indie
pendents. That, says the steel bull, is
exactly what we want Better have
competition in that form than in the
! hands of eigh or ten different COM
panies.
| Improvement in the steel trade is
taken for granted. The price of Steel
common has discounted that, but the
really bullish point of view on the
stock embraces these other things.
Now none of these reasons for bulling
the stock uninterruptedly on top of a
twenty point rise is now. All of them
existed when the stock sold at AK
and everybody at II Broadway was
bearish. 1t will be remembered that
attention was called to some of them,
especially to the Gary plant, in this
correspondence when We had reason to
believe at lower prices that bearish sen
timent was running too far. The rea-
sons still exist and are potent. no doubt.

Steel common, but it has had a sheer
rise of twenty points, and that is a
great deal.
