This is the second attack of this ma

fortunate not to have lost the sight

GARY COMMERCIAL CLUB To
PUT Up SPLENDID BUILDING

At the meeting of the Gary CONNER
cial club last night it was practically
decided to choose for the location of
their new building the two lots south
of the Hodges and Ridgley building,
which the land company has offered to
them for the old price of $4,000. The
other lots adjacent to Miller's Toggery
were offered to the club for $4,000.
Most of the members believed that the
lots between Sixth and Seventh avenues
would be more centrally located.
The committee which reported on the
matter was John Brennan, chairman;
Z. c. Simpson, H. F. McCracken and E.
L Welscheimer.
The meeting of the Commercial club
last night was well attended in spite
of the fact that a downpour of rain con-
tinued throughout the evening. Every
one seemed enthusiastic over the pur-
chase of the lost for the Commercial
club and the erection of building AS
far as the plans of the buildings are
concerned, sketches will be asked for
from the architects for a building
costing about $4,000, three stories in
height. something on the plan of the
Ohio building in Gary.
AS to the raising of money for the
erection of the building several plans
were submitted by Captain Norton
president of the Commercial club One
was to sell $4,000 worth of 6 per
cent bonds and then issue $40. 900 worth

Mr.. Ross for the past month has been
suffering with a severe attack of iritis

OF stock to be purchased by the mem
bers only. the amount that can be pur-
chased by any one member to be lin
tied. The shares will be $50. A. c.
Simpson of the First National bank
stated that the banks of Gary would
be wiling to take over those bonds
with the property as security
The second plan was to issue $4,000
worth Of bonds. A note would then
be given by the members for the other
$4,000 on a second mortgage on the
property. The members of the club
who bought stock would be sure of an
investment paying them -FOUR to five
per cent in addition to providing home
for the business men of Gary.
The third idea is to rent the store
room on the first floor and use the sec
ond and third floors for the club rooms.
Another matter taken under consid-
Grafton by the club was the erection of
1000 houses in Gary In the first sub
division for the benefit of the working
class which cannot afford to pay the
rent for larger buildings, and who at
the present time are not provided with
enough homes. Upon this subject,
President Norton. speaking for the
Land company stated that they had
never tried to discourage the erection
Of this class of houses in the first sub
division and the fact of the matter was
that they had encouraged it. This
matter will be gone into further at a
later date.

BONDS AMOUNTING TO 8 MILLIONS

Properties of the Chicago, Lake Shore
and Eastern Railway company. includ-
ing the terminals in and around Gary
and South Chicago. are now the secur-
ity for a first mortgage of large
bond issue. The bonds issued by the
parent company the United states Steel
corporation. amount to $9,o00,oo0. Re
garding the transaction today's Iron
Age has this to say:
The United States Steel corporation
has sold to William A. Read & Co.,
bankers. New York, 100000 of first
mortgage bonds against the Chicago,
Lake Shore & Eastern Railway com
pany. The bonds bear 4 Y per cent in
terest and mature in sixty years. al
though they are redeemable in ten
years, at 10 and interest. They are
guaranteed. principal and interest by
the. Elgin, Joliet and Eastern Railroad
company. and by the United States
Steel corporation.
Security for the bonds is furnished
The Lake County times. [volume] (Hammond, Ind.) 1906-1933, 1909-06-03

by first and sole mortgage on all the
railroad, equipment and other proper
ty of the company, which includes the
terminal railroads at the new Gary
plant and at the Illinois Steel COM
pany's plants. The terms of the in
denture prescribe that bonds can be
issued only up to so per cent of the
total outlay on the property mortgaged.
1t is explained that this sale of bonds
does not imply an abandonment of the
Steel corporations fiscal policy, under
which $3.50, 100000 has been spent out
of current earnings to capital account
since its organization. The issue was
made. it is said, through a feeling on
the part of the management that the
company's receipts from the steel in
dustry ought not to be diminished for
the benefit of a railroad enterprise in
which 1T is understood, there are sew

fered, would pay for the ice many

It is believed that the recent ice
famine in Gary is due to the fact that
the warm weather came suddenly and
caught the ice company unprepared. It
is not believed that the independent ice
company can have their ice plant built
in time to supply the people of Gary
this wear.
