.GARY'S BOOM IN
REALTY IS At HAND
Two Big Deals Will Be
CLUB WOMEN MEET
IN EAST Chicago
Mrs. Gwilym Jones Enter
Future.

Gary is in the midst OF a great build
ing and real estate boom, such as &c
has never known before in its history.
This is not idle talk, but facts from the
local real estate dealers, contractors
and business men who are in a position
to know.
THE TIMES is in a position to state
that within the next six weeks two
deals of Importance will have been con-
sumated and many other smaller ones
are now on the verge of being closed.
Many inquiries for loans are being
made and it is known that one South
Bend capitalist has made loans to the
amount of nearly $4,000 in the last
month. Out side investors, chiefly
among the insurance companies are at
the present time making an investiga-
ton of conditions in Gary and several
deals are now pending. There is no
doubt in the next few months that
thousands of dollars will be circulated
in Gary to persons having proper Sec
urity.
Confidence has again been restored
again in the new steel city and the
general outlook shows a healthier tone
at the present time than 1t has ever
done before for the past eighteen
months.

ly enforced Chief Lewis said yester-
day that each officer visited regularly
the poolrooms on his beat and none of
them had found so far where the law

GUEST OF
I. KNOTS

James Kirby Risk who is accredited
with having dictated the nomination of
Charles Murphy of Brookton for chair
man of the Tenth district at the recent
Hammond democratic convention, and
who is said to be candidate for the
democratic nomination for congress
man dined with Mayor Knots yester
day noon at the Gary hotel
With Mr.. Risk was his republican
business associate, H. B. Overesch
whom Risk recently supported for
mayor of Lafayette and for which act
he was charged over the district with
the crime common in Lake County,
with being irregular. The three took
dinner at the Gary hotel
1t was rumored about the city today
that Risk was spending the past few
days in Lake County building up his
political fences 1t is known that he
is on very good terms with Mayors
Knots and Becker and that If he de-
sired he could probably get the Lake
County democratic support for the con-
gressional nomination. Mayor Knots
however. denied that Mr.. Risk came
here for political purposes but merely
on a business trip. He did not know
whether he had been in Hammond tic
confer with Mayor Becker or not
..Of course Mr. Risk and I talked
politics." said Mr.. Knots. but It was
only in a general way. Nothing was
said to me concerning Mr.. Risks re-
ported ambition to run for con gress

intendent of Schools w. A. Writ, who
is accredited with having a remarkable
grasp of the school laws. would only
admit that the act under which the
bonds were issued had never been In
terpreted by the supreme court. and
that it might be annuled- He claimed
that the antipathy of bond buyers to
purchase bonds of this character re-
Gently was due largely to the recent
action of the supreme court in annuling
the gravel road law. and bond buyers
are always very conservative
LIST OF HIS OPINIONS.
Simmered down to a few words. Mr..
Wirt's construction of the law, relative
to the bond issue, is as follows:
The contract for the performance of
work at future time does not create
a debt until the work Is done. The
hiring of teachers for the ensuing year
Of contracting for coal, does not create
a debt, according to Indiana statutes
until the teachers have done their work
or the coal has been delivered. The fact
is that IN Indiana bonds cannot be is
sued until contract for the work has
been entered into. This is done large
ly to prevent securing the money to
use which is delayed and the au-
thoritfes are then permitted to profit
by the interest winch 1T draws Wnlie
deposit. This has been frequently
done in Ohio where the bonds are is
sued first or course, there is a chance
for an argument here. and the court
might hold the other way"
Mr.. Writ also pointed out the fact
that the Gary bonds were passed upon
by Attorney Chas. w. Miller. former
attorney general for Indiana, and who
is recognized one of the bond ex-
perts of the state. He stated that the
bond buyers never purchase bonds
until these matters have been looked
into thoroughly, and they are certain
that they will hold good.
JUDGES OPINION.
In covering this point of the law,
however. the attorney referred to cites
well-known Judges opinion of what
constitutes debt in refutation of this
construction of the law. The opinion
is:
1T is essential to the idea of a debt,
that an obligation must have arisen
out of a contract, express or implied,
in favor of some one occupying the po-
sition of a creditor. which entities the

the school board to enjoin them
from taking up these bonds, the
bond-holders would lose every
cent of the money invested.
The basis of the attorneys opinion
is that the school board could not
contract for an Indebtedness of more
than 2 per cent of the previous tax
levy. This 2 per cent amounted to
$192,629.30, but as bonds had al
ready been issued for $137, 800, there
was left but $54,129.30 more than
they could become indebted.
POSITION OF SCHOOL BOARD.
The position of the school board in
making a bond issue for this great
amount when it could not be met by
the assessment at that time was that
the money due to the school fund OH
the next assessment could be antici-
pated, and that the debt was not in
reality contracted until the Emerson
building had been completed. They be-
lieved that there was debt incurred
only when each estimate on the build
ing had been made and the amount
then became due.
