tee awaited word this afternoon from
the F'itz Simons Connely company for
figures on the proposed temporary
bridge over the Calumet river at Hoh-

the county contract for the erection of
the new bridge would give the city the
best possible figure Several attempts
We're made today to get into communi-
cation with the officials of the company
by telephone today, but none of them
could be reached
In the light of the developments, it
appears more and more every day that
the various bridge contractors are at

ton which the Fitz Simons Connolly
company created in the first place when
1t promised to give the board of public
wons sketches and figures for a tempo
rary bridge in due time. so that there
would be no Interference in vehicle
traffic In stead the company failed to
do this and the company and the other
contractors seeing the city's plight are

that when a drunk or hobo when be-

ping Business.

z. L Allnut, the yardmaster of the
Erie railroad, in this city, says that
there are not as many vacant cars on
the sidetracks now as there have been
in months past. He says that there
is great deal of merchandise and
fruit being moved. and the railroads
find that they have use for all of the
ears the road owns.
He says that a number of box cars.
about 200 in number, are being kept
on hand in the local yards for the
purpose of regulating the shipments
between the east and the west.
George Mettler of the Indiana Harbor
Belt railroad stNed this morning that
the only empty cars that were being
held in the local yards are a number
of bad order cars. He stated that the
railroad is using all of the cars 1t can
get.
This is taken to mean that business
conditions are good for one of the first
symptoms OF bad conditions is the crea-
tion of a large number of idle cars in
the yards.
