GARY STEEL PLANT
TO FURNISH STEEL

The Gary steel plant will furnish
steel for a brand new Michigan City
industry. Trade announcements that
the Haskell and Barker companys
plans for a sl.25o.oo0 steel car works
to be added to their Michigan City car
works have been completed. were Civ
en- out this morning. First mixing of
the company's intentions were given
out exclusively a month ago when The
TIMES stated that the f., j g. Ell rail-
way would extend its lines to the car
plant.
The new steel car plant will have a
main building 300x1,100 feet. There
will also be auxiliary buildings for pat
tern, power and machine shops. Here
tofore the company has confined its
activities to wooden cars, but the all
steel product is also to be made.
Steel from the Gary mills will be
used in the building of the cars. Later
on the company may build it's own
steel works and blast furnaces. If this
is done the Calumet steel belt instead
of having it's eastern terminus at Gary
will extend it's boundaries as far as
Michigan City. twenty-six miles away.

resolution was offered by Homer
]. Carr of the Gary Tribune condemn
ing Mayor Knots and the others for
passing the franchise. However. as the
call specifically stated what business
would come up before the house, none
but the report could be handled. so the
motion was declared out of order
There was considerable Indignation
when Carr offered his resolution.
Everybody Gets Suspicious.
1t was not so much that those pres
ent did not believe that Knots should
not be condemned but they were sus-
picious of any condemnation issuing
from Carr. During the city campaign
his supposedly republican organ sup
ported Knots in preference to the re-
Brennan.
During Knots administration Carr
has ever been at his heels seeking to
grab such of the city printing that he
could as price of the Tribune's ST.

the printing contrats were fat the

approval upon vice by praising Knots

Mayor Knots Makes Defense.
Mayor Knots was present and made
an address and gave these reasons for
his part in passing the franchise, al
though he said nothing why the Com
mercial club committee was ignored and
| why the traction grab was rushed
| through the council:
People are mistaken II they think
that he gave the franchise to the capt
talists at their own terms
He had the franchise rewritten twice
and had fifty bad things chopped out
| of 1t.
He put in a whole day and part of
| one evening doing the chopping
eGeist didn't get what he asked for by
, any means.
Not any one item that cannot be
| successfully defended.
| IF Geist don't build, the Gavit line
can get a franchise.
Capitalists won't build street car
lines where franchises have teakettles
tied ito them.
IF the franchise is too liberal we
/ have made mistake But fail to see
where 1t is too liberal
| Hodges Strongly Arraigus Knots.
Mayor Knots defense that capital
lists won't build street car lines on
franchises with teakettle appendages.
was upset by Attorney Hodges. who
recalled the fact that three years ago
Knots had opposite views when mil
lion dollar corporation sought a fran
chise in competition with Frank n.
Gavit, who got 1t. Hodges recalled the
fact that Knots then granted a fran
chise when ninety per cent of the peo-
pie were against IT, but 1t was granted
nevertheless.
: Hodges also pointed out that the
Geist people could build three years
: after they had other franchises. Will
. that be six years from now that they
3 get them Then our streets can be
> tied up for nine years. When will they
complete their lines God only knows.
Mayor Knots has just said that Cav
IL won't build and that's why he had

to build on Fifth avenue couple of
