RAILROADS TO blame
| FOR BAD SERVICE

The line of attack in the interests OF
improved street car service in Ham
mond has been laid down. The fight
is to be to a finish and it is believed
that the negotiations will be success
full At least it is certain that the
Hammond, Whiting & East Chicago
Railway company is willing and anx-
ious to confer with the citizens of
Hammond with the idea OF granting
them some concessions in the way of
betterments in the service.
The first step. the Inauguration of
the agitation, has been very successful
The whole community is aroused. The
steps which are to follow are as fol-
lows:
1. All petitions must be mailed to W.
w Thomas, secretary of the Hammond
Manufacturers association. today.
q A meeting between A. l. Drum, the
operating manager of the local street
car company; several of the other Of
ficials of the company and the members
of the Hammond Manufacturers asso-
citation will be held Friday at / o'clock.
Go After Railroads.
3. If this conference fails to bring
about the desired result meetings are
to be held in all sections of the city,
at which the traction question will be
discussed and more drastic steps will
be taken to force the companies to i'm
prove the service.

A. The Manufacturers association is
going after the railroads which have
been responsible for blocking cross
ings in Hammond. The fact will be
made plain that the only way they can
stall off track elevation is to take ev-
cry possible precaution against block
ing street crossings.
A. L. Drum was to have come to
Hammond Manufacturers association.
but he telephoned that on account of
the inclement weather he and his asso-
ciates would be compelled to put the
matter off until next Friday.
Ten Thousand Sign Petitions.
1t is believed that at least 10000
people have signed the petitions for Inn
proved service. This is probably the
greatest movement in the interests of a
public enterprise that has ever been
started in Hammond.
The study that has been made of the
traction situation in Hammond thus far
makes 1t apparent that the question of
railroad crossings is an important one.
The facts are that great deal of the
delay to the service is caused by the
blocking of street crossings These
facts are to be brought 70 the attention
of the officials of all of the railroads
centering in Hammond, and an expert
railroad man is to be employed by the
Manufacturers association to make rec
concentrations to it to how the prob
lem can best be solved.
