The election last Tuesday passed OH
very quietly. The absence of workers
around thelpolls and the standing around
Of voters Waiting for something to turn
up was 4 marked contrast to elections
in formef years, under the old law. The
new corrupt practice act seems to have
deprived the poor man the 'pay for days
work. or a thew pair of boots for
winter.' More than one voted for the
first time in their lives without getting
something.
The Democrats elected all the officials
in Penn's Grove, which was not expected
and also elected a committeeman in the
Township in the place of a Republican.
Penn's Grove was divided into two
precincts for the first time, which made
less work for the election officers who
finished counting ballots about 10 o'clock.

gest majorities Democratic candidates
ever received in this county. ]. Warren
Davis, candidate for Senator made a phe-
nominal run. When it is considered that
he said he did not want one cent spent to
procure votes, the conclusion is drawn
| that there was none spent by the opposi-
ton, while it has been customary to
| spend thousands of dollars in former
years.
The county gave Thomas M. Terrell, D.,
for Congress 43 majority, j. Warren

Regarding the franchise matter the
board of public works is not prepared
at this time to ratify any of the rival
companies propositions. One impor-
tanf thing that they wish to have es-
tablished is which of the roads may
enter Gary. There seems to be dis
position to demand that more extensive

into Michigan avenue which merges
with Kennedy avenue. thence down
Kennedy avenue through the heart of
Grasselli, with another branch down
141st street to Tod avenue and thence
south. with a turn down 151st street to

An annexation ordinance providinr
FOR the addition of eleven more square
miles to Gary was given first reading
IN the city council last night and II ii
Is passed the young steel city will sur
pass in territorial size not only Jndi-
anas biggest city, but it will lead q
number of other American metropolises
like Boston. Baltimore. Omaha. Mil
waukee. Seattle and Louisville. But
most OF all it will surpass its Jealous
eastern rival steel-girdled Pittsburg.
by more than 1000 acres
Gary, which now Gas thfrty-one ana
one-half square miles. will have its do
minions increased TO 21,200 acres or
forty-two and one-half square miles.
which is more than the combined area
OF Louisville and Milwaukee combined.
The proposed addition to Gary calls
for the annexation of eleven sections of
land south of Tolleston The western
sections would be IA. % and 2s. the
southern sections would be rs, 25, 30
and 20. and the eastern sections 90.
20 and part of II. Sections "a 10, 20
and parts of % and Is will also be in
Guided.
Black Oak is included and the new
southern boundary would touch the
north lines of Griffith Ross and Hos
ford P-rk
Terrs,orially Gary will be the biggest
city in Indiana, and it will have more
area than any other city in Michigan
Wisconsin. Kentucky. Ohio, Pennsylva-
mia with the exception of Philadel-
phia). New York with the exception
of New York City), West Virginia, New
Jersey and Delaware, and 1t will be
greater in area than any city in the
New England states. No city in the
whole south will surpass it save New
Orleans. With the exception of Mime
apolis 1t will lead every city in the
great northwest from Chicago to Seat
tie on the Pacific coast.
To Square the City.
According to Alderman Castleman
who is fathering the annexation meas
ure, the city will then be squared .
That is. its greatest length will be sew
en- miles and it's greatest width will be
of an equal dimension.
To Provide for Deep Waterways.
With the completion of the Burns
ditch" said Castleman. Gary will have
| a great waterway in the Little Calu-
met river which flows through the ter
ritory propose to annex This in a
| few years will be a great place for
! small industries. as the banks of the
river will give unlimited room for docks
| and wharves."
| The ordinance is in the hands of the
| ordinance committee and Will be re-
| ported later.
