ana Harbor is delighted with the CEN

ness men declare that their section
of the city has done more than its
share in maintaining the steady
growth which has brought East Chica-
go to the front with an increase in
population of nearly 500 per cent over
that of the last United States census. 1t
should be remembered that when the
last census was taken Indiana Harbor
was a duck pond.
Every business man and manufac-
turer takes a personal pride in the
growth of the Twin Cities, and If their

FREE DELIVERY IN {. CH|CACO
IS GLAD NEWS FOR PEOPLE

a single box has been placed in the
Oklahoma district. but this is account
ed for in the fact that when the in
spector was here from Washington
there were no sidewalks in this section
and it was not deemed probable at that
time that the sidewalks would be laid
before spring, thus making Oklahoma
ineligible to free delivery. The dis
patch with which Contractor F. Ct.
Proudfoot has prosecuted the improve
ments in Oklahoma has, however, re-
moved the obstacle, and Oklahoma will
share in the free delivery enjoyed by
East Chicago from the date of inaug-
urating the service.
Letter boxes will be placed on the
following corners:
