MAY EXTEND AVENUE
Board of Public Works
Takes Up a New Ven
ture Today.

Calumet avenue may be opened north
ward to the lake and Gostlin street
eastward to East Chicago, if the board
of public works carries out plans which
it is now considering. Both are section
lines and surveyed as highways. but
neither has been opened as far as it
might
The opening of goth of these streets
is an old project and has been agitated
from time to time. but the indications
are now that the board will take action
this year.
Calumet avenue extends north only
as far as Huehn avenue, and if opened
clear through would strike Sheffield
avenue and terminate in Lake Michi-
gan. Gostlin street is open only to
Columbia avenue, and in the event of
opening would connect with One Hun
dred and Forty-fifth street in East
Chicago.

Skeleton Belongs to a One
Time Close Friend of His
in Porter County.

When THE TIMES first printed the
news last Tuesday of the finding of
the then unknown body of Edward
Young. in the Kankakee marsh, it was
little thought that the unidentified man
should have very close friend in Ham
mond, in the person of H. F. Erlebach,
the local manufacturer.
Mr.. Erlebach did not realize this
himself until on Wednesday Mrs. Geo.
Young came to Hammond from near
Kouts, where she had received a clip
ping from THE TIMES from her son,
George, who was then employed on
the street car line. Mrs. George Young,
who was a sister-in law, went to the
Diana club house and there identified
the watch, compass and boots of the
dead man as those of her brother-ir-
law.
ErIebach and Young Were Pals.
Mr.. Erlebach knew Edward Young
well, they had both made trip to Cali
fornia some twenty years ago and
often exchanged visits. When Mr.. Erie

FRANCHISE TO COME
Up THIS EVENING
K. and E. Right of Way to
Be Laid Before Chicago
City Council.
ULTIMATE PASSAGE CERTAIN
If All Of the Friends of the Measure
Turn Out Tonight 1t Is Certain
to Go Through.

If all the Chicago aldermen who ia
vor the granting of a franchise for
the Kensington & Eastern railroad, ap-
pear at the council meeting this even
ing, it is thought that the grant will
be made, despite the strenuous opposi-
tion of big part of the council.
A final vote on the passage of the
franchise is scheduled for this even
ing, and another hot and denunciatory
debate is expected between the advo-
Yates and opponents. 1t will be the
third time that the matter has been
reported today that an effort will be
made o get it through this evening be-
fore the new council takes its seat
VIII BE Granted Sooner or Later.
Since its last defeat John G. Dren-
nan, counsel for the Illinois Central.
has asserted that the opposition was
caused by the companys refusal to
spend money for the franchise. This
had been met with comment on the
fact that the ordinance passed through
the committee in a comparatively short
time and that it's advocates support
1t without apparent cause.
All of these intimations, it is ex-
pected, will be outclassed by open chal-
Ienges of the honesty of representa-
tives of both sides, but success is
prophesied for the ordinance If all OF
the aldermen favoring it are in the
meeting to vote.
That this franchise will be passed
sooner or later is unquestioned. but
while it is pending, a great region
south of Chicago is handicapped. Part
of this territory is in Chicago and af-
fects Hegewisch and Burnham. 1t:
