NORTH SIDE CITIZENS HOLD
VERY IMPORTANT MEETING

BY assessing $4,000 lots on the north
side IS apiece for sewer and an addi-
tional 81 for a sewer pumping station,
100000 can be raised for a sewage
* tenn for the whole north side which,
IN he opinion of many will solve the
problem for all time to come.
Plans for this big project were pro-
mulgated last night at the meeting of
the North Side Improvement associa-
ton, the initiative having been taken
by ]. A. Aubry, the north side drug
gist, who has given much of his own
time in arranging facts and preparing
figures to show that the project would
be feasible.
Other matters came before the asso-
citation, among them the election of Of
fcers for the ensuing year. and the dis
cussion of the problem of more homes
for the north side
The session was replete with interest
to the north side property owner, and
while there was a representative at
tendance 1t might have been even
larger.
The North Sider's Viewpoint
While no concerted action was taken
in the matter of the home problem,
there was sufficient sentiment voiced
to show that the association does not
favor the Betz idea of home building
in Hammond In explanation it might
be inserted that the Betz idea. as out
lined by F. S. Betz before the Ham
mond Business Mems association re-
Gently. would give the deserving man
who is desirous of locating in Ham
mond a lot and a two-room building
on the rear of II at practically cost
price. and on terms which should not
make the payments hard. BY putting
this property In the hands of deserving

1t is reported in Hammond today
that the Pressed Steel Car company has
purchased the plant of the Western
steel Car & Foundry company, just
across the state line, and will at
once begin the rehabilitation and en-

McCord & Co. had one-third inter-
est in the Western Steel Car & Foun-
dry company and the Pressed Steel
Car company owned the remaining two
thirds interest. Some time ago it was
rumored that President Hoffstadt was
looking for a site for a plant in the
west This followed the labor troubles
that the company had at McKees Rocks.
There was considerable speculation In
Hammond and in Hegewisch as to
where this plant would be located. 1t

third interest in the Western Steel Car

Sunday league baseball is one of
the possibilities of the coming base

The initiative has been taken by the
Hammond Athletic association, which
is recognized as the leader in all lines
OF athletic sports in this locality.
The plan for the formation of
baseball league among the neighbor-
ing cities of the region for the pur-
pose Of playing Sunday ball is being
promoted by Walter Sohl, chairman
OF the board of athletics of the Ham

ICE CROP
HUMMER
THIS YEAR
G.. Fl. Hammond Co. Will
Put Up Two More New
Buildings to Take Care of
Immense Ice Crop Being
Harvested at Wolf Lake.

The G. II. Hammond company is
contemplating the erection of two new
ice houses to enable it to put up more
Ice this winter. The work on the two
new buildings, which will be 150x20O
feet in dimensions and will cost SIS. 900,
will begin at onme if the weather mod
ifies sufficiently.
The new building will be located
along Sheffield avenue. just north of
the icehouse now owned by this com
pany. The ground is already staked
off and the building of these new ice
houses will be determined by the
weather.
Forty Thousand Put Away.
The G. H. Hammond company has
already put away about 10000 tons of
Ice, and it is believed that if the 9TH
er icehouses can be built and filed
this winter the saving in the freight
that will be effected as a result of Sc
curing supply near the place of
consumption will be enormous
The present icehouse is full and If it
Is decided to build the other icehouses
this fall they will be filled as fast as
the walls rise. BY the time they are
ready for the roof they will be full.
and the roof will simply be put on for
protection from the sun.
Plenty of Ice Harvested
It is estimated that the Knicker-
bocker Ice company has put up $50 900
tons of ice in it's Wolf lake 1cehousas

According to the Chicago newspapers,
the price of ice will take a big tumble
next year.
What effect this will have upon the
Hammond Pure Ice company, which
claims that it never paid dividends
even when the prices were raised last
year to those of the Knickerbocker
let trust, remains to be seen. If it is
still able to compete with the prom
ised reduction in prices which the
Knfckerbocker people will make next
year, an idea of the profits that this
concern has made will be had.
Bill Thompson, who has charge of
the 6. H. Hammond company's ice
house at Sheffield avenue and Wolf
lake, says that he has had no difficulty
in getting men to harvest ice this fall.

Manager Green says. furthermore,
that there will be no delay in the
building of this line similar to that
which has occurred in the building of
the Gary & Interurban line in Ham
mond.
Mr.. Green points out that the Gary
& Interurban people have been COM
PEELED to ask the Hammond city coun-
ell for extension after extension of time
for the purpose of completing their
line Green says that his company will
agree to build the East Chicago ex-
tension in six months and will have
it constructed in that time or forfeit
its franchise
He says that this is surely an evil
dence that his company means busi-
ness. And so the various interurban
companie are appealing to the city for
favors. and the present administration
is presented with an exceedingly COM
pleX problem of how best to conserve e
the interests of the city.

GREEN TALKS
on FRANCHISE
PROPOSITION
H., w. & E. G. Has Had in
Contemplation for Over a
Year Building of Branch
Line, Before Gary & Inter
urban Considered It.

Manager Green Of the Hammond.
Whiting East Chicago Electric rail-
way denies absolutely that he only
asked for franchise over the Kane
avenue, Gibson viaduct and Forsythe
avenue route to East Chicago when he
heard that the Gary & Interurban line
was after the same route.
Mr.. Green claims that he has been
contemplating the building of branch
has only been deferred from asking
for franchise by the fact that his
company has not until recently been in
a position to make necessary extern
sions.
Now that the Hammond line has
plenty of backing behind it, and is
ready to begin its program of re-
Mobilization and extension, and it will
ask for the franchise over the new
route to East Chicago.
A Ffve-Cenf Fare.
Mr.. Green points out that 1t would be
better for the people of Hammond
that his company should get the fran
chise for the reason that the residents
of the city all along the route of his,
line from the Standard Steel district
to the corners of State and Holman
streets and from all sections of the
north side would be able to go to
East Chicago for scent fare, while
the Gary & Interurban line would pick
only at the corners o.
