The crucial period in the life and
death battle of the ordinances passed
in the Gary council for the opening of

bash and Michigan Central tracks was
passed last night, but the symptoms
Of the patient had a tendency to dis
courage DIR. NJ. n. Castleman, who has
charge of the case, and its godfather,
Mr.. Walsh of the third.
Last night was the time set for re-
monstranees. which means practically
the life or death of the measure, and
unfortunately for it, the ordinances
were practically buried with remon-
strances from $50 property owners
representing twice that number of lots
and the three railroads affected. These
of course were accepted and placed on
file.
What They VIII Have Done
If she remonstrances accomplish
nothing else they will prevent the
opening of the streets for at least two
years, until the question is fought out
in the courts, which even might not
result In a favorable decision. The
railroads claim in their remonstrances
that there is no necessity for opening
these streets at the present time and
he property owners who were likely
Clark. deceased, the latter a pioneer in
to be assessed benefits claimed that the
Improvement did not warrant the ex-
penditure of the money at the pres ent
ime. And then should the ordinances
survive this proceeding. the PROPERTY
owners. including the railroads, will
also demonstrate against their assess
f1ents, which will hold the improve
ment up for several months longer
1t has been said that the Improvement
would cost approximately $4,000 and
the railroads claim that this is putting
the figure low. Many persons in Gary,
however. do not like the idea of hav-
ing Gary cut in two by the Gary &.
Western as dividing wall and are in
favor of the plan and will gladly pay
their share towards the Improvement.
Everyone recognizes that this will
haze to come eventually, but the ques-
ton was whether or not the action was
premature at this time
Councilman w s Feuer hit upon a
plan last night which may be product
i've of some good and this was in the
appointment of a committee which

of the streets and making it possible
for the demonstrators to see their way
clear to withdraw their objections This
committee will act at once and are in

STRANGE against the work has been ex-
tended. This committee consisted OF
