foot for the property, and if any one
come to it.
Il do not care particularly whether
or not the property is sold to me. If
the board wants to go ahead 1 will
keep my part of the bargain. l did not
make a proposition to purchase the
property until / was asked to do So"
The following clipping from the In
dianapolis Star gives an idea of how
similar proposition is being handled in
Indianapolis:
"A plan to execute ninety mine year
lease on the property at Massachusetts
avenue and New York street, now fire
headquarters, has been suggested to
the board of public works by the legal
department. The department believes
that to execute the lease would be a
better investment then to dispose of
the property outright for $4,000 or
even for 100000
fThe plan as submitted includes the
execution of the lease providing an in
come of $4,000 year from the ground,
of purchasing the ground at the ex-
piration of a few years for $4,000.
1t has been pointed out to the board
that to lease the property to some
| one who would put up a business
! block costing in the neighborhood OF
10000, the city thereby would get an
/ income of approximately $4,000 year
and to sell the property at that time
! for $4,000 would be a better invest
ment than to sell it now for $4,000.

they have again paid their dues for a
certain length of time.
The gymnasium equipment is to re-
ceive the immediate attention of the

the southern shores of lake Michigan

interest in this locality, inasmuch as If
this canal is built, Indiana Harbor

When he first arrived in Anderson he
was told by the chairman of the COM

both the canal from Lake Michigan to
