FAMINE
IN COAL
SERIOUS

Two OF the leading coal companies
in Gary stated this morning that If
there was a further serious delay in
their shipments of coal there would
likely be coal famine in Gary in the
near future. as their supply was fast
running short. These were the Calu-
met Supply company and the Dolton
Coal company. The Gary Coal company
stated that they believed that they
would be in a position to secure all the
necessary coal which would be required
until traffic. which is now somewhat
impeded on the through lines from the
coal mines. is again cleared up.
In view of the recent blizzard which
has swept the west there was consid-
cradle apprehension felt in Gary that
the yawning furnaces of the business
houses and residences could not be fed
during the unrelenting cold spell If
there was any difficulty IN getting coal
into the city. This. it seems, has also
caused considerable concern among the
coal dealers.

Shore & South Bend line, and will be
done in the future by the Indiana
Chicago traction company, which has
secured the necessary franchises.
The Hammond, Whiting & East Chi
cago line still holds valuable franchises
in Hammond, and it is possible that
with the inauguration of an aggressive
policy Of railroad extension 1t may be
made one of the best urban and inter-
urban properties IN the Calumet re-
gion.
The opinion OF local business men Is
that the first expenditures should be
made in the completion of the work
of rehabilitating the line and in the
immediate purchase of new rolling
stock, and that the next step should
be the building of the extension from
South Chicago to Hegewisch and Ham

s62,0O0.0O0 Capital.
Regarding the capitalization of the
consolidated south side lines the Chi
cago Tribune has the following to say:
BY capitalizing the future earnings
of the south side street railways, and
particularly those lying in the extreme
southern part of the city and the Ham
mond suburban line, the home ruIe'
owners of the properties have fixed
upon total bond and share issues Of
$50. 100000 for the new Chicago City
and Connecting Railways.
THE capital is to be divided into
three classes, as follows:

"$25.OOo.OOo preferred shares
"S15, 100000 common shares
The securities deposited with the
trustee of the mortgage under which
the bonds will be issued are:
