An unconfrmed report has reached

tract for thirty-six of the American
Bridge conlpanys houses to be erected
for its Gary employees.

houses to be built at an aggregate cost
of $4,000, and the latest story is to

GREAT INCREASE NOTED
IN COURT BUSINESS

That the location OF the new Lake
superior courts in Hammond has re-
suited in the transaction of a great
deal more business there than ever be-
fore ism shown by the number OF cases
that have been filed before and after
Hammond got its extra judges.
In the five weeks since Governor
Marshall signed the Hammond bill, 140
cases have been filed in Hammond and
the filings have been at the rate of IS
a week. This indicates an average
weekly increase of 40 per cent.
In the thirteen weeks preceding the
signing of the Hammond bill by the
governor. there were $50 cases filed,
and the filings were at the rate OF only
20 week.
This may be accounted for by the
fact that while the court fight was on
the Gary attorneys made ii practice
to file their cases at Crown Point so
that Hammond could not claim that it
was getting so large a per cent of the
business. 1t is an interesting fact that
the T.000-mark was reached Dec. IL
and that the 400 mark was reached
today.
