and neglected section of the city. That

bers at meeting last night.
The members of the board of public
works, excepting Pete Davis, were
present, and they were compelled to
listen to some rather strong talk on the
part of the residents of this section of
the city.
Judge William w. Mcmahon was
present and stated that city officials
had been present at several of the
meetings of the organization and they
were always strong promisers, but poor
executors.
He stated that it was his opinion, and
he believed that it was the opinion of
the rest of the residents of this To-
cality. that the city administration was

May Effect Compromise.

The road between Roby and South
Chicago is also in very bad condition
and this matter will be taken up with
the Illinois authorities. Automobiles
are coming to be used more and more
frequently as a mode of travel be-
tween Hammond and Chicago and it is
regarded as of the utmost Importance
that the roads between these cities be
made passible.
No steps were taken looking to the
laying out of new route to Chicago
although this matter may be taken
up in the near future. The meeting
was an enthusiastic one.
The members of the committee which
will act with Mr.. Turner in this mat
ter are all live ones. They are as fol-
lows: A. NJ Turner, John E. Fitzgerald,
F. S. Betz and W. r. Conkey.
