tors. the city attorney, the board of

ty commissioners was set for this aft
ernoon at 8 o'clock to discuss the ques-
tion of building a temporary bridge

new bridge is under construction.
This conference was decided upon at
a special meeting of the Hammond city
council last night At the same time
the city council voted to appropriate
$4,000 for the erection of a temporary
bridge. it having been the concensus
of opinion that this amount OF money
would easily provide for the erection of
a temporary structure.
Contractors Try Hold Up.
City Attorney John Gavit explained
to the council how the officials of the
Fitz- -Simmons-Connell Co., which has
the contract for the erection of the new
bridge, had promised the board of pub
lie works sketches and figures for a
temporary bridge, and that the com
pany would allow ample time for it's
erection before closing up traffic on
Holman street. and how the company
construction gang and closed up the
old bridge without even submitting
plans for a temporary structure Aft
er 1t had closed the old bridge to traf-
fc the company told the poard that a
temporary bridge strong enough to ac-
I commodate street cars would cost no
less than $4,000. The board considered
this figure exorbitant and appealed to
another company, but this concern too

HAMMOND
REALTY IS
BOOMING
Brand New Residential Dis
trict Is To Be Started
South of Homewood When
Zachau Estate Is Put On
the Market.

The next residential subdivision to
be opened in Hammond will probably
be the Zachau property along South
Holman street just south of the Chi
cago. Cincinnati & Louisville railroad
tracks.
John Zachau~state today that he and
his brother Gustav had decided to open
up this property for residential pur-
poses and that it would probably be
subdivided in the spring.
1t will be the purpose of the owners
of this land to make the new subdivi-
sion one of the finest in the city. They
realize that the lots in Homewood
proper. are rapidly being sold and In
view of the fact that the trend of the
residential district is southwark there
will be a great future for the proposed
new subdivision.
An effort will be made to have Hob
man street Strengthened from the C. c
e. L tracks southwark and this will
leave a wide grass plot on the cas-
side OF the street. A heavy screen OF
foliage will be planted and in this way
the cemetery will be shut OF from view
streets win be laid out to the westward
rom Holman street to State Line stree
and they will be paved as soon as the
demand for lots warrants it.
The opinion is general among Home
wood people that when the Residential
district is once extended south of tht
c., C. & L. tracks that it will rapid,
move southwark until finally all of tn,
territory to the Calumet river will b.
built up.
For this reason the projects OF open
ing and paving State line street and
Lyman street have been urged. and 4
is believed that 1t will ultimately ta,
the capacity OF all of these thre'
streets to carry the traffic to the bust
| ness district of the city.

But It Cannot Be
Helped.

The cars of the Hammond, Whiting &
East Chicago line are being sent by
way of State street, Calumet avenue

has been made impossible for cars.
