The SHIPPING
Lake County People Much
Interested in New Rail

The people of the railroad and in
dustrial centers in the northern part
of Lake county are very much inter-
ested in the leasing of the Chicago,
Lake Shore and Eastern railroad by
the ElgiR Joliet and Eastern railroad.
as announced by the officials of the
latter road yesterday.
The lease, which is to run for fifty
years. goes into effect al 1901 o'clock
on the morning of June l. The annual
rental was not made public.

Joliet and Eastern road acquires the
rolling stock and all the property and
franchises of the Chicago, Lake Shore
and Eastern railroad. The rolling stock
will be reiettered and the time tables,
tariffs and all other publications Of the
leased road will be published under the
name of the leasing corporation.

cipal terminal It also has trackage

cipally on the Elgin, Joliet and East
ern and the Chicago and Eastern Ili-
nois
The purpose Of the lease is simply
to facilitate the mana cement of the two
roads. Both are owned by the United
States Steel corporation and officials
of the two companies are the same in
many instances. A. F. Banks is presi-
dent of both companies, and r E.
Campbell is general manager of both
roads, with headquarters at Joliet The
principal business of the Chicago, Lake
Shore and Eastern has been the hauling
of ore from the lake ports to mills OF
the steel company at South Chicago
and Joliet The Elgin, Joliet and East
ern is the outer belt line connecting
the great trunk railroads running out
of Chicago

eral Manager Campbell last evening
1t means no change in the operator
officials or employees of the two rail
roads
Mr.. Campbell declined to state wheth.
er the lease eventually would mean q
merger of the two roads

lease lies in the fact that it make.

built at Hartsdale, more accessible t.
Gary and will also facilitate the ship
ping of coal from the southern part O.
the state to the new by-product COX,

trip per hour to the present schedule
between East Chicago and Indiana Har-
Dor.

put in switch on the north side of

pot. thus making three tracks at this
pOin.
F. H. Lewis Meyer, general counsel
for the interurban, appeared before the
council in behalf of his company.
The ". +. Brunt damage claim was
again brought up, Mr.. Brunt. who is
of Hammond, being accompanied by his
attorney. John Stinson, also of Ham
mond. The council retired into star
chamber session, but nothing was ac-
complished and the matter went over
until next Monday. The claim is based
on delays and damages to work on the
Block avenue sewer, for which Brunt
had the contract. by failure of the city
pumping station TO properly perform
it's work.

QUARTERS
Citizens German National
Bank Will Occupy Quar-
ters in Kolb's Drug Store
While New Home Is Be
ing Built.

The Citizens German National bank
will occupy quarters in Kolb's drug
store in the Taper block during the
summer while the work of building the
beautiful new home for this institu-
ton is going on.
AS the work of construction on this
building will begin June it is neces-
sary that the tenants in the wooden
buildings which occupy the corner Of
Holman and Sibley streets secure tenn
porary locations until the new building
is ready.
The erection of the new Taper block
Will eliminate another saloon from the
business district Of the city. The grad
ual wedding out of saloons from the
business district of Hammond is one
of the surprising things about the de-
velopment of this part of the city.
saloons Being Forced Out.
No less that four saloons have been
replaced by other kinds of business.
The owners of property in the business
district say that saloons are very poor
tenants and they are getting them out
as fast as they can.
During the period of construction of
the Taper block which is to be 100 by
100 feet in dimensions, there will be
false front to Kolb's drug store but
the frant of the Princess theatre will
be changed.
The plans for the new Taper block
are now practically completed and II
is very evident from perusal Of them
that Hammond is to have magnifi-
cent new Office building that will be q
credit both to the city and to the mar
who has the enternrise to 1s'7ild It.

A. |. DRUM GIVES
COMPANY A PROPOSITION
Indiana & Chicago Traction Company
May Run on Red Line Tracks for
Ten Cents Per Car Providing They
Run at Least Seventy-Two Cars
Per Day.

The Indiana & Chicago Traction Co.
whose petition for a franchise is now
before the board of public works, may
use the Red Line loop at ten cents a
car provided they run at least seventy
tw cars day over the loop. This is
the minimum rate that the A L. Drum
Co. has offered to the board of public
works, which is seeking to bring the
two companies together on the loop
franchise The A. l. Drum company
agrees to furnish the power. but the 1.
& c. company must lay the special
tracks to enter the loops. The letter
is not difnite and makes provision for
other agreemtnts to be drawn up before
the deal shall be closed. The letted
which is dated May 18th, is in answer
to one by the board of public works
and says that SO far the A. L. Drum
company has not vet been met by the
Indiana & Chicago Traction company
for the loop right.
The Loop Problem.
OF the three board members, Jacob
I Scholer seems to be the most anxious
! to have the Indiana & Chicago Traction
company use the loop. Some time ago
he said to TINES reporter that while
he would not countenance unfairness
| from the Red Line to the Indiana &
| Chicago Traction company for the
| loop right. still he thought that the Red
Lin people ought to be made to come
to fair terms with the new company
/ as the use of the loop by all compan-
| les was most desirable.
Adam Ebert. president of the board,
! In speaking of the loop route today
said that he personally would not in
sist on it so strongly that the com
pany would be barred from the city,
and the he questioned the advisability
Of running all cars around the loop. as
! ii might turn out a hardship instead
of a good thing for the property own
ers in the loop
1t is doubtful whether the franchise
will be in shape by next Tuesday night
when the council meets to take it up
for actian. The satisfactory disposi-
/ tion of the loop problem is one of the
hings that is holding 1t back. and other
kuestions. too. among them that in
voIving the Columbia avenue bridge
! approaches.
Mayor Becker's health Is still such
that he can not give the franchise all
| the time that he desires, but it is ex-
| pected that the board and mayor viii
| confer on il before the week is over.

Judge McMahons letter from Ham
burg to his friend Frank Shine in this
city, which appeared in THE TIMES yes
terday, has raised a strong feeling of
criticism among the Germans of Ham
mond, and it was easily the foremost
topic of conversation among them to-
day. Especially among those who were
at one time residents Of the German
city. The letter was taken as an un-
fair picture OF the city whose praises
are sung in song and story. and as was
to be expected. they wanted to an
swer it. Their sentiment has found
expression through F. C. Miller. presi-
dent of the Saenger- -Bund Fidelia, who
In speaking of Judge w. c. McMahon's
letter today said:
Speaking of Hamburg.
Judging from the letter Hamburg
must be a terrible place to live in, and
knowing that many Hammondites claim
Hamburg as their birth place it is only
fair that they should criticise Judge
McMahon's letter
First, it would seem that Judge Nc
Mahon must have selected the worst
part of Hamburg in which to stop,
when he says that he was. unable to
get anything to eat before u o'clock
noon, or perhaps he partook too much
of the good wine on the night before
of which he writes, that he did not
wake up until noon the day following
Hamburg is noted throughout the
world for its hotels and restaurants
and its cooking. and is adopted as a
standard in the biggest and best hotels
