Oysters can no longer be fed-or, s'

has ordered that the practice must stoE

Recently the department gave hear

fered by automobiiists who wish to go

of going in the round about way af-
forded by Hammond. For consider
able time these few blocks of unpaved
roadway in Forsyth avenue have been
the only broken link In the chain of
roadways traversable by machines who
wish to go through East Chicago with
out taking the Hammond course on
their way east and the improving of
this little stretch will cut off about

East Chica8o's PROGRESS is Marked in Every Way
EDITORIAL

Nothing can stop the march OF pro-
gress in East Chicago. That the world
does move in little old East Chicago is
demonstrated on every hand. New
buildings In a partial state of compile
ton are to be seen everywhere. others
with their excavations just begun are
innrmerable, and everywhere there Is
a stir and hustle which denotes the
push and energy of the citizens OF this
thriving town. There was a near cy-
weeks ago. 1t tore off the roof of one
of the large buildings of the republic
mill and the fall Of several heavy
stacks crushed in other roofs. Did
this mean a shut down of the mill to
make the necessary repairs? Not at
all. 1t merely meant working with a
reduced force for a few hours while
the stacks were being reset, and this
business attended to, the Republic
seized the opportunity of utilizing the
fact of the dismantlement of its build
ings, to its own advantage. 1t meant
to do some remodeling anyhow and
the cyclone merely saved the expense
of removing the damaged roof. The
| little incident opened the way for the
repairs and remodeling to be begun a
| once. 1t Is an Ill wind that blows no
body any good in East Chicago. TIL.
improvements on this one plant alone
! are to cost $4,000.
This is merely a typical incident o
| the enterprise and vim characteristic
| of East Chicago. 1t takes more thar
a cyclone to stop business in the boom
ing little city.

HOW BUILDERS DELAY
ERECTION OF HOUSES
Take All Contracts They Can
Get and Work Few Men
on Each; True of ALI.

The various store and fiat buildings
now in process of construction are
gradually nearing completion. They have
ever since they began to assume shape,
regarding the rental of the places, &C
cording to the owners.
The buildings, in many cases. at any
rate, would have been finished long
ago, only the contractors. as Is usual.
take their time when once they get a
Job started. This procrastfnation is a
great source of complaint.
Then Let-Up.
1t is customary for a contractor to
begin work with rush. and push
things rapidly. Suddenly there is a
let-up. only one or two men are on the
job, perhaps none at all for several
days. The contractor has transferred
his employees to some other building.
In this way the contractor manages
to keep a number of jobs going all
summer long, and keeps his men busy
| throughout the whole season. If he
stuck to one job until II was entirely
completed. there might be no other
| jobs for him.
| Takes Another Contract.
| So he takes every contract he car
get as rapidly they are offered
makes a start in order to cinch the job
and then takes up another contract.
1t is for this reason that 1t takes
four to six months TIC complete a house
that should be done inside of two
months easily
