clares Town Officer-Tells
What Would Happen If
Annexation Goes Through

Miller citizens declare that they will
oppose any renewed attempts to annex
their town with its eight square miles
to Gary. as was recounted in a Gary
paper last night. The only way Miller
can be annexed now is TO have a ma
jority voters petition signed and pre-
sented to the Gary common council
and this the citizens say will never
take place.
Taxes Lower Than Gary,s
1t has been charged that taxes are
too high in Miller and that the town
board is running the municipal cor
poration into debt by Its extensive inn
provements.
This is untrue" said a town Off
Ger. ''Miller's town tax rate is $1.2o
which is lower than East Gary's and
far lower than the high rate of $1.s1
at Gary. So. annexation means tina,
our taxes would increase % per cen
right at the outset"

once The democrats have twelve of
the thirteen congressman, or will have
after the fourth of March. and not one
of them was willing to have his dis
trict disturbed in the reapportionment
process Each man wanted his district
left just as 1t is. because he figured
that any change might fix 1t so as to
make 1t harder for him to be reelected.
Congressman Adair came to the front
with a complaint against any tamper-
ing with his district. the Eighth. Con-
gresham Morrison of the ninth. pro-
tested against any "monkeying' with
his district congressman Barnhart,
of the Thirteenth, Is not willing to have
his district disturbed unless they put
in another democratic county and as
sure his reelection. Finley H. Gray
who will be- congressman from the
sixth after the fourth of March. has
objected strenuously to any changes
being made in his district. And some
of the others have also kicked on any
proposition to make a reapportionment
and there you are.
In the face Of these objections and
protests how will the legislature ever
be able to frame up new apportion-
ment bill that will not make trouble!
The committees of the two houses have
not be able to figure out a way to do
| 1t, and there is no likelihood that they
will be able to do 1t.
| The fact Is that it is almost safe tc
predict that no changes will be made
| in the congressional districts, but that
they will be left as they are. This
1t is pointed out by some OF the lead
| ers, will be the best and in fact the
only way to keep harmony in the ranks
and to prevent a wholesale scrap. 1t is
believed here that bill Will be fran
| ed and passed adopting the present
make up of the districts. thus making
| 1t impossible for any succeeding leg
islature to make any changes within
six years.
/ II the democrats adopt this course /
VIII AFFORD them the only means of es
cape from bad tangle.
And even on the subject of legisia
tive apportionment 1t is possible tina
no changes will be made, although tn,
fight against this Is not as strong al
the one against congressional re
lapportionment. There is one thing
however, that is pointed to as an indi
cation that the legislative reapportion
ment will be made, and that is a bill
which was introduced In the house .
few days ago by Representative Wise
of Plymouth 1t Is a bill to repeal TIL

was three times the amount of new
structures being planned in Gary.
The strike still serves to delay all
future building plans and investors are
timid while the labor war is on. Once
settlement is obtained either way 1t
is expected that Gary will witness
building boom that will be unpre-
cedented in Indiana.

DENIAL IS
MADE BY
WESTBERG
Especial to THE TIMEs.)


Indiana Harbor, Ind, Feb. 24.-Con-
by the rumor that 141st street was to
be vacated and. 1a9th street made a
main thoroughfare IN it's stead.
The rumor reached the ears of the
officials of the East Chicago company.
with the result that c.. A. Westberg,
vice president of the company has
come out with flat-footed denial that
anything OF the kind was even con-
templated, to say nothing of being
possible.
The East Chicago company" said
Mr.. westberg yesterday. would be
utterly and absolutely opposed to any
vacation of this thoroughfare. The
street was dedicated years ago from
Cline avenue. which is the cas- tern
boundary line of Indiana Harbor, to
White Oak avenue. the western bound
airy of East Chicago, and everything
that has been done by the East Chi
cago company has been with the full
anticipation that at some time 141St
street would be one of the main out
lets for East Chicago and Indiana Har-
Dor. Far from being in favor of its
vacation. this company stands ready
to dedicate property sufficient for its
continuation from White Oak avenue
to the state line. We are In a posi-
ton to do this inasmuch as the East
Chicago company owns practically al
of the land through which this street
as continued would pass.
The street has been graded from
Cline to White Oak avenue and is 9
fixture"
1t is believed that the rumor thai
141st street would be vacated had its
origin in the fact that the Interstate
mill people have fenced in a portion
of the thoroughfare. This the Eas
Chicago company proposes to have re-
moved, even IL 1t is necessary to man
date the city to accomplish 1t.
Mayor Schlieker said, however, tina
no action of this sort will be neces
sary, as the city voluntarily will com
pei the Interstate people to tear dowl
the fence.
