Death OF Francis G. TAYLOR.


Francis q. Taylor, so, a well-known
and respected citizen, died in his home
on Western avenue about 6 o'clock Fri
day afternoon. Mr.. Taylor had been in
falling health some time but not until the
day before his death did symptoms OF a
serious nature develop. which caused a
heart trouble, from which he was unable
to rally.
Mr.. Taylor was born in Gullford July
81, 1928, and his parents were Joseph and
Belinda (Weatherhead) Taylor, and In
1880 they moved to the farm In Guilford
which has since remained in the family.
Here Mr.. Taylor's youthful days were
On Dec. 10, 1854, he married Catherine Il.
King. and two children were born to
them-Minnie L., who is the wife of B.
a. Whittermore, who lives on the home
place. and Dennie F., who lost his life In
1898 in a railroad accident. After Mr..
Taylor came into possession of his faith
er's place, which was then a small farm,
he improved 1t by remodeling the house
and building large barns and by buying
more land, until 1t became one of the
best farms In Weatherhead hollow. While
living In Guilford Mr.. Taylor filled many
public offices. He served on the board OF
selectmen 10 years and represented the
town in the state legislature two terms.
He was a charter member of Broad
Brook Grange. He was a staunch sup
porter of the Universalist church In Gull
ford Centre and for many years one OF
its deacons. For nearly 30 years he has
been employed by the Vermont Mutual
and New England Fire Insurance COM
panies and he has also engaged In the
real estate business. His first wife died
July 81, 1879, and on January 10,
1892, he married Miss Lenora G,
Knapp, daughter of the late Hiram
Knapp of his place. About fourteen
years ago they came from Guilford to
live in this place. Mr.. Taylor bought a
piece of land of his wife's father on
which he erected a fine set Of buildings.
They lived with Mrs. Taylor's parents
until the new house was ready to be
occupied and then they moved into 1t and
since then have resided there. One

MR., ENG[EHARDT EXPLAINS
POINTS IN HIS POSITION

T. w. Engiehart president of the
South Side Taxpayers Club, who Incl
IDENTIFY resigned from the Gary CONNER
cial Club at their meeting last Friday
night, because the club Endorsed the re-
ports of Its committee appointed to in
vestigate the Gary franchise for ex-
tending their lines on Washington
street. from the Calumet bridge to the
city limits, in letter to THE TINES ex-
plains his attitude IN promoting the
franchise Mr. Englehart says:
I'm order to give the people a clear
idea of the street car situation in the
Ridge Road district. here are a few
things which will show what we have
been up against for the past four years:
I'VE were held up by the bridge and
the road for two years because the con-
tractors were more than year behind
in their work. Next came the Gary &
Southern fight which involved more
than a year of fighting in the courts
and ultimately resulted in the perma-
nent tie-up of the road south of the
river SO that the entrance of any city
line to the district by the main route is
completely cut off
Again the Geist franchise was
granted. making no provision whatever
for service south of the river, and final
ly. the offer of the Gary & Interurbau.
the first definite relief in sight was re-
jected by the Commercial Club. thereby
cutting us off indefinitely.
ITO the people of Gary: Does this
look as though we are being given a
square deal? After paying as much
taxes any other part of the city are
we getting anything near as much
There is not public utility in the way
of gas. lights, water or street cars in
sight
The street car situation means
everything to the territory. We now
have 1900 less people here than IL We
had given cars two years ago KNOWN
how important street cars are to us
why are we not given equal considera-
| ton with other parts of the city?
THE Gary & Interurban franchise
turned down by the Commercial Clui
would have ben the only solution o
| immediate service. We do not carr
who builds the line, but we want 1t a

YIELDS LIFE
TO HEAT OF
SATURDAY

The excessive heat of last Saturday
afternoon was responsible for the death
of Mike Plaski, So years old, laborer
who was sun struck while at work on
the cut for the Gary s. Southern, Trac-
ton Company through the sand hill on
South Broadway
Plaski had been at work but six
hours on the job. The heat was ex-
cessive working in the hot sand and
several of the workmen were compelled
to stop work during the day. Plaski
about three o'clock was seen to stagger
and finally he dropped to the ground.
He died Immediately. The body was
removed to Finerty's morgue where the
inquest was held yesterday. Plaski liv-
ed at Seventeenth avenue and Pennsyl-
vania street

over" on the people. Had it been grant
ed, it would have put the Gary & In
terurban on the same level with other
roads on the five-cent fare basis
nothing more. / believe that the Com
mercial Club is in favor of Geist's
franchise and that the Gavit franchise
was turned down for the sole purpose
of enabling GeIst to freeze out the Gary
& Interurban quicker.
Granting that Geist gets control of
the entire district and established the
best service in the country through
big merger, we may get good service, 1
believe we will. but it will take time
and there will be two or three more
years that we will be without cars.
meanwhile we will be paying top notch
taxes with nothing in return.
should Gavit have been given the
franchise, even at the cost of the three
cent fare clause and the provision for
a bonus of five percent of net earnings
to the city. 1t would still be possible for
Geist to buy his sys and why should the
Commercial Club be interested in max
ing the price cheaper for him at the
cost OF the development of a part Of
the city?
The five percent clause will never
amount to anything for 1t will always
go into improvements and the road can
not be successful on a three-cent fare.
