ST.
NOT To Be
PAVED NOW

1t is not likely that State street will
be paved this year. The assessments
are all expected to be paid by the 23rd
of this month, but it will be too late to
advertise for bids in time to have the
Improvement made this year.
However. the buildings which now
occupy the street will be moved off as
soon as all of the assessments are paid
and the street will be madeready for
paving in the spring.
The officers of the village OF West
Hammond have inquired of the Ham
mond city officials to know what kind
of paving the Hammond property own
ers want.
1t is probable that the street will be
paved with asphalt macadam. the paw
ing that has proven such a success on
South Holman street. The opening OF
State line street will mark a new era
in the development of Hammond,

over Gary, in Gary's own bai1iwick, it

fairy wild with enthusiasm

Indiana Harbor went to the ball game
fully 500 strong. They captured the
grand stand intact, before the Gary
fans had a look-in. They overlooked
the field and every good play on the
part of the Indiana Harbor boys was
met with such a deafening roar OF ap-
proval, as to have inspired the re-
cipients of the demonstrations to heroic
effort, had they been a bunch of wood
en- men. which they decidedly are not.
The crowd that swarmed aboard the
1853 Pennsylvania train; when it stop
ped at the Indiana Harbor station on
the way to Gary. was stupendous. Ow-
ing to the fact that the railroad Of
fc.als broke their word with Manager
Sternberg about providing extra
coaches. it was more than a tight
squeeze for all to get on board. How
the trick was accomplished seems lit
tic short of a miracle.
