urday. feeling little discouraged over
the outlook of affairs in the Lake coun-
ty court fight.
The Crown Point bill has not been
introduced in either the house or the
senate as yet and the chances are that
it will remain where it is until the
Hammond and Gary bills have passed
the legislature. The county seat at
torneys are inclined to think that either
the Hammond or Gary bill will be We

the case. as soon as it is definitely
known, the Crown Point bill will be
introduced If botn bills are passed

Messrs. Matthias Boney of Hammond,
William Parry and Bruce Meeker of
Crown Point. the viewers appointed by
the county commissioners at their last
meeting to go over the proposed route
of the extension of Broadway to Ader-

the road from the meeting place at
Gary in an automobile and will make
their report of the public utility of the
road at the March meeting of the
county commissioners.
1t is said that petitions will be circu-
lated among the farmers between
Crown Point and MerrflIville to have
Broadway extended as far. as Crown
Point. A large number of the land
owners in that section have offered to
donate land free if the extension is
looked upon as feasible by the county
commissioners.
