SITE IS NOT SOLO

The report was circulated around
Hammond this morning that the site of
the c. Fl. Hammond company's old plant
in this city had been sold to the New
York Central lines.
This report is said, on good authority,
to be untrue. The facts are that the
Indiana Harbor railroad desires to
build a double track along the Michi-
gan CentraPs four tracks in the north
side of the right of way.
1t is the purpose of the Indiana Har-
Dor railroad to build these two extra
tracks from Calumet park to the inter
locking tower at the Michigan Central
crossing of Holman street.
To do this it viii be necessary for
the railroad to buy right Of way from
the G. H. Hammond company. or rather
the National Packing company. the new
name of the old company.
It was this contemplated purchase
that probably gave rise to the rumor
that the New York Central lines would
buy the site of the old plant.

". O'ROURKE LECTURES

The manufacture of gas, subject
which is interesting, but about which
the public knows very little, is to be
laid bare this evening before the
Wednesday Night club, by William
O'Rourke. superintendent of the gas
plant of the Northern Indiana Gas
and Electric company.
The position alone which Mr..
O'Rourke holds and his accompanying
experience should entitle him to a very
attentive audience. He will speak from
his own experience in the manufacture
of gas, and this information, coming
first hand. ought to be very enter
tanning and educational at the same
time. The subject is doubly interesting
in a community where gas is one OF
the modern conveniences of life.

BOARD SIGNS
THE FRANCHISE
Continued from Page one.)

optional with the board as to whether
the Gary & Interurban shall double
track on Sibley street, or the board
having reserved this permission to it
self in case it wants to grant fran
chise over Sibley street to any other
line. A further provision was added
that all other incoming interurbans
who use the tracks of the parent line
must stop their cars where the board
shall designate. The only serious con-
tention that arose last night was
question as to the forfeiture of the
$4,000 liquidating damage bond. The
last section of the franchise provides
that the company shall forfeit its fran
chise if it fails to operate in Hammond
within six months and establish con-
nections between Hammond and Gary
within nine months. The council in
sisted that in that event the company
not only lose its franchise but also for
felt its $4,000 bond. After some argu-
ment on both side the company made
the concession.
Raise Depot Question.
1t was this noon after the board had
adjourned that the question as to a
QGpOl was IaiSeu LINES repre-
sentative. The language in the fran
chise reads that the company shall
maintain a suitable depot" some
where on Sibley street, between the
Nickel Plate tracks and Holman
street. Since there may be a ques-
ton as to what may be a suitable de-
pot it was suggested that the language
be more specific, providing either as
to how much money shall be spent on a
station or giving the exact plans and
/ specifications. Mr.. barrow objected to
any such provisions, saying that he did
not propose to commit himself as to
building a depot and possibly be held
up for the price on a site, but that he
would agree that the maintenance OF
the depot shall be under the supervision
of the board of public works. Mr.. Oar
row is inclined to believe that he can
rent a suitable depot within the pre-
scribed Unit In the event of building
the structure would have to be in
accordance with the ordinance regulat-
ing buildings within the fire limits.
Company Desires Immediate Action.
The Gary & Interurban people de-
sire official action on the franchise as
soon as possible in order that they
might begin building operation. They
would have preferred to see the fran
chise go to it's first reading last night
but the council thought best to take +
under advisement for a week and
therefore, a special meeting will bt
called by the mayor
Councilman John Becker presided a:
mayor pro tenn, in the absence Of May
or Becker last evening, Councilman J
Kaptur and Harry Eastwood being thu
| only absentees.
In addition to going over the inter
urban franchise, the council ratified thu
coal contract by which the firm of Bic
ker Bros. are to supply the pumping
station with coal. The telephone com
pany was granted a franchise to lay
a spur over Terrence avenue, from
the c. T. T. railroad to the telephone
company's supply yards.
Ordinance No. 10 was amended IL
regard to the building OF porticos an,

Effect Of Freezing on Butter.

A series OF trials were made at the
Vermont experiment station wherein
milk was divided into two lots. one
half allowed to freeze and the other
handled in the usual manner; then
-churned. the butter worked and
cored. Neither skimming, ripening
nor churning appeared to be impaired,
Not so. however. with the scoring. The
average scores of two sets of 10 lots
each were: Frozen butter, 93.2; nor
NAL butter. 93.5. Freezing tended
very slightly to lower the grade of the
butter. yet freezing is not necessarily
a menace To good butter-maklng. II
should not be inferred, however. that
infrequent creamery receipts, deliv
erred more or less frost bitten, will
make as good butter as II they had
been delivered unfrozen.
