EAST SID:
RESIDENTS
Up IN ARMS
Operation of Erie Coal Stor-
age Plant Causes Circula-
tion Of Protesting Petition
Which Will Be Sent to the
City Council.

The residents of the eastern part of
Hammond are up in arms in their op-
position to the dirt, dust and noise that
results from the operation of the coal
storage plant. which is located along
the Erie yards.
A petition, which already is signed
by several hundred of the property
owners In the vicinity of the plant, will
be presented to the Hammond council
and board of public works.
The property owners in the vicinity
of this plant say that through the ac-
ton of the Hammond city council, Sohl
street, one of the principal thorough
fares in the city, was closed, and the
value of the property in the whole
neighborhood was greatly deprecated
in value.
Didn't Keep Promises.
The coal storage plant was admitted
to the city on the representation that
it would employ a large number OF
men. While it is true that there are
in the neighborhood of thirty men en-
ployed by the plant the loss to th6
city through the closing of Sohl stree
more than offset the benefit.
One of the residents of this neighbor-
hood, who has been instrumental il
circulating the petition, said: This /:
an illustration of the manner in whicl
the Hammond city officials have per
mitted this city to be hemmed in anC
cut to pieces by the railroads.
The situation is so bad" said thu
| east slider. that there is hardly stree
in the city that will take you anywhere
The city officials recently permitted
the Chicago. Cincinnati & LOUISVILLE
railroad to build its yards in a portion
of the city that is destined to be tn
residential section.
The Worst Feature.
But the worst feature of this NOV
| is the fact that Calumet avenue, tn
| greatest thoroughfare in the whole city
/ is cut in several places by this var
and switch engines are continual
switching back and forth over thi
! principal street"
The people of the east side will TAX
steps a once to have the coal storag
nuisance abated. IF the city board o
public works will not act they Wi
find some other means

INLAND co.
SUED FOR
DAMAGES

Attorneys Crumpacker & Crumpacker
filed a case today against the Inland
Steel company at Indiana Harbor for
their client, John Kozazik, in which
they ask $4,000 damages for injuries
which Kozazik of Indiana Harbor Is
alleged to have received Jan. II, 1908,
while he was In the employ of that
company as a laborer and general re-
pair man.
The complaint alleges that Kozazik
was ordered to go on top of a wall
which surrounded the blast furnace to
make some repairs to an elbow of pipe.
The blast furnace was covered by a
roof and under it there was an ac-
cumulation of gas which had escaped
from the blast furnace. 1t is alleged
that the foreman who ordered Kozazik
to make the repairs, knew of the pres
ence of the gas and that the laborer
was ignorant of its presence.
Overcome With Gas.
When he reached the top Of the wall
he was overcome with the gas and fell
a distance of twenty-five feet to the
ground. In falling he was rendered
unconscious for several hours and was
unable to work for six months. He
also received other injuries. according
to the complaint, which will render
him unfit for work for a long period
of time.
The complaint states that the plain
tiff has a wife and FIVE children who
are dependent upon him for support.
