ILLINOIS CENTRAL DEMANDS
RAISE IN SO. SHORE FARES

the Illinois Central will exact Pennsyl-
vania rates, because this district, being
close to the city, might be considered
in the street car zone. 1t is said 1900
persons residing in Chicago 10 business
in Gary and make the round trip daily.
1t develops in connection with these
interurban deals that recently the Chi
cago & Southern Trolley line tried to
have the Rock Island management
enter into through car arrangement
that would allow the trolley line in
tact service between Kankakee and the
LaSalle Street Station. This line runs
to Seventy ninth and Halstead. to a
conformation with the Rock Island
road. Trolley car passengers must
cross the tracks and go on the other
side of the station.
AS Kankakee is one OF the big local
stations of the Illinois Central. a
through trolley car from there to Chi
cago over the Rock Island at low rates
would place the Rock Island in a posi-
ton of cutting the fares of another
steam road the Illinois Central. AS
low rate was the big feature of the
trolley system, the deal fell through
for the reasons named.
The developments argue that If the
numerous trolley lines around Chicago
that are seeking a city entrance desire
to accomplish their ends in this direc-
ton, they must bring their rates TO
the steam line basis. The question now
confronting the managers of the trolley
lines is: If we advance our fares to the
steam line rates. what have we to offer
the public in competition with the older
methods of transportation"

GLEASON
PROMOTED
TO EAST

It learned from reliable sources
erintendent of the Gary steel plant
IL 10 be promoted and transferred east
July l.
Whether Mr.. Gleason is to be made
vice president of a subsidiary company
or given charge of number of plans
at Homestead of Braddock cannot be
learned. One rumor has 1t that Mr..
Gleason is TO be made vice president of
the recently organized Minnesota Steel
company of Duluth. If he is to be
promoted to this position his offices will
be in New York This rumor is fairly
reasonable in view of the fact that the
corporation IS to build a large steel
virtue OF his vast experience as a steel
plant builder. will, If he goes to New
York will occupy the same relatives po-
sition as Vice President G. G. Thorpe
holds with reference to the Gary in
terests.
Since his coming here four years ago
Mr. Gleason has had personal super
vision of the Gary plant and has made
q brilliant record that places him
among the foremost steel constructors
of the world. He gets a salary which
has several figures attached to 1t.
Coupled with the report OF Mr.. Glea-
sons promotion is the story that one

oliet plan is be made superintenden MT

but the matter was adjusted.
Increase Lumber Tax.

Before the board retires it is going
to add a few dollars to the figures of
some schedules. Every lumber com
pany in Lake county will have to pay
more taxes than it originally figured
on. In Gary the Victoria hotel, which
is assessed at $4,000. is to be given a
raise the board figures that its
property is worth the extra taxes. 9th
err minor figures in various parts of
the county are also to be inflated.
Another unusual feature in connec-
ton with the reviewing task, is that
the Lake county farmers are making
no complaint this year. The inference
is that they are putting money in the
bank, burning up their mortgages and
buying automobiles.
Two years ago they stormed the
county seat and were going to hang
the township assessors for the high
valutions they claimed these gentle
men tackled onto their cattle, their
binders and reapers. barns and organs.
But this time they are quiet This is
sure sign of prosperity.
