GARY'S FIFTH
WARD MAY
STAY DRY
L. A. Bryan, the Prohibition
ist, and w. A. Mathews,
the Anti Saloon Represen-
tative, Said to Be Behind
the Movement.

Is the fifth ward OF Gary to remain
dry? 1t is stated that an effort in that
direction is now being made by some
of the largest property owners In that
locality for the purpose of making it
desirable for residential purposes and
that the movement has gained consid-
cradle Roadway.
The chief promoter of the movement
Is the L A. Bryan interests. the former
Gary town treasurer owning consider
able property in that section of the
city and 1t is known that not only is
he dyed-in -the-wool prohobftionist
but he believes that 1t will try to en-
nance the value of his holdings by BAR
ing out the saloons in that locality.
The man who is said to be promoting
the scheme is Mr.. Bryan's attorney and
the legal representative. of the anti
saloon league. w. H. Mathews who 1t Is
also avered has already prepared
resolution to present to the council
making this territory dry. Failing in
this 1t is has been declared that an
attempt will be made to make the fifth
ward dry by remonstrance.
Not only are Mr.. Bryan's friends in
terested In the movement but C. A
Williams another large property holder
in the vicinity of the Ridge Road also
in the fifth ward, who declares that he
can secure a large number of sigma
lures in that locality. 1t is said that
with the Williams and Bryan interests
back of the movement that the attempt
may meet with success.
The condition which the saloon men
face will be similar In aspect with that
which made the entire city of Gary
dry two years ago. Following the last
election the territory south of the Calu
met river has been added to the city
and also a large population so that the
possible number of signers for re-
nonstrance has been icreased while the
number of votes remains as 1t was at
the last election so that a majority,
would not be so difficult to obtain.
Like the previous remonstrance
fought out for months in the court un-
successfully. the movement has been
agftated quietly and It is not believed
that any of the saloon interests know
of the movement that is foot
Many persons who are opposed to
seeing the city of Gary dry will sign
q remonstrance, or advocate making
the fifth ward dry for the purpose Of
making q more desirable residential
district. a large number of those 10
whom BRYAN has sold property are of
the prohibition sentiment and this is
fgv red on to help the cause. They be-
lieve that the district south of the
Pennsylvania will then become as de-
sirabse for residential purposes the
First subdivision of their plans carry.
The announcement of the scheme will
no doubt create a Juror among saloon
men south of the Pennsylvania most of
whom are located on Broadway. and
they will probably make an immediate
effort to block the plans of the drys.
If the movement is successful at least
a dozen saloons will be effected one OF
which is located near the Little Calu-
met river and another on Ridge road
known as the Jackson place which the
interests In that locality are aiming al
particularly.

CLUB HOLDS
4 SPECIAL
MEETING
Parrish Avenue Is Endorsed
AS Outlet for Cross Coun-
try Road Which Is Pro
posed to Whiting by Com
mercial Club.
Especial to THE Tines

East Chicago, April 1S.-At special
meeting of the Commercial Club of In
diana Harbor and East Chicago, Parish
avenue was endorsed as the outlet for
the cross country road which it is pro-
posed to build to Whiting.
The meeting had been called for the
discussion of the road question and to
consider the amalgamation situation
between East Chicago and Gary. The
road question took up so much time
however that the amalgamation mat
ter was not touched upon. Incidental
~. the remonstrance petition having
been completed, this subject was dis
posed of without action by the Com
merciaI Club.
1t had been expected that quite a
fight would be put up by property own
ers on Guthrie street. to make that the
first link in the road to Whiting. The
opposition on the part of the McClintic
Marshall Construction CO. to the use of
that thoroughfare. exploited in THE
TIMES one day last week, had the effect
however of putting quietus upon this
plan. and Saturdays meeting found no
champions working in favor of Guthrie
street. There was however another
element represented. This was repre-
scented by some members who are resi-
dents of East Chicago, who desired to
see Canal street favored. This would
have practically spoiled Indiana Har-
boris interest in the road, by causing ii
to merely skim around the Harbor. in
stead of penetrating into the heart OF
the city. When Judge Hembroff moved
that resolution favoring Parish ave-
nue. be adopted by the club, John d
K ennedy of East Chicago. moved ar
adjournment. but the resolution was
acted upon before second to the ad
journmenta motion was secured, and
Parish avenue thereby received the en-
dorsement of the organization.

FIX 5000 LICENSE
Brewery Depots to Furnish
a Revenue to City,
Bowser's Plan.

Total Income From Liquor Trade In

Nearly $4,000.
TO HOLD MEETING TO NIGHT

Tonight at the regular session of the
the Gary city fathers, Emerson Bowser
of the first ward will Introduce meas
uie intended as revenue producer in
the shape of an ordinance placing
$1,000 license upon all the breweries of
the city.
THIS measure which will be similar to
the enc passed by the city Of valpa-
ralso. will be for revenue rather than
regulation. and If enacted would in
crease the income of the city to the
extent of $4,000 to $4,000 annually.
At this period of the cities growth
where numerous improvements will be
needed during the coming year would
materially assist in the Development of
the city.
Mr.. Bowser believes that the brew
cries which establish depots in Gary

in May. and that If the city needs the
money this Is about as good a way to
get 1T as any.
May Be Reduced.
The statutes of the state provide that
1000 may be charges for the brew y
license, but if any of the council, or
most of the council strenuously object
to the figure Mr.. Bowser has stated that
he will not seriously oppose its reduc-
ton to a certain extent. 1t is not
known what the sentiment the rest
of the council is on this point, but 1t
will no doubt be determined this even
ing.
Should the ordinance for $1,000 II
cense be passed the total revenue for
the city from the saloons and breweries
would amount to about $4,000 per
annunl.

While Annexation Remon-
STRANGE in Twin Cities
Would Garry by Safe Ma
jority, Minority Would
Choose Steel City.

The "secessionists' of Indiana Har-
make the annexation by Gary Of East
Chicago stand and prevent the sue
cesst,l circulation of the remembrance
against it, Providing they fail in this
it is said that they will fight the meas
ure in the courts on the ground that
the annexation would not do the city
an injury.
The status of affairs in the Harbor is
that those who have looked with dis
favor upon being a part of East Chi
cago claiming that it is case of the
tail wagging the dog see in the an
nexation by Gary a chance to slip from
under the paternal bonds of the older
city and become a part of the steel
city Not that they are particularly
DESTROYS of being swallowed up by
Gary but that it is choice of two evils.
Judge Homer Ansley who is one of
the leaders of the movement to stick to
Gary states that they may be beaten
on the remonstrance end of the fight,
but he believes that they can block
the opposition in the courts. There
seems to be no question but what a
majority OF the voters in the twin cities
are opposed to being absorbed by Gary
as East Chicago is solid against 1t and
this combined with nearly half of those
in Indiana Harbor will give the anti
annexation the necessary two thirds
majority.
The remonstrance is already being
circulated and it is said that the cir
cu;ators are having no trouble in get
ting signers. The opposition however
is working along just the sarae trying
to create sentiment against it which

should have the same information as
