MADE LAND FRUITS.

An authoritative announcement
has been made that within the next
month one of the furnaces at the new
plant of the Iroquois Iron Company
located at the mouth of the Calumet
river Will start operations.
This plant, 1t should be remember
ed, was secured for South Chicago
through the passage of the made
land bills. The Iroquois Iron Com
pany had previously purchased the
present site and the engineers figured
that the company would be allowed to
reclaim some of the submerged lands.
Then came that solar plexus blow
that resulted in the building of the
city of Gary and driving the steel
improvements across the state line.
The Iroduois Iron Company. which
had its plans drawn for a new plant
on the site purchased at the mouth of
the river. stopped right there and for
several years nothing was done Next
came the passage of the land bills
and the Iroquois Iron Company lost
no time in starting work upon the
plant it had promised to build Now
it is completed and the tests pre-
liminary to the starting of operations
are being made.
The land bills were pieces of legis-
flation South Chicago worked for that
did not go astray. The companies
have kept their word and we can be
prepared for more expansion, both b,

| Iroquois Iron Company. Here wa.

My dear SIR replied Beecher, II

YES HAMMoND's CREDITS GOOD

1t is to the credit of the present
and past city administrations in
Hammond that they have brought
the credit of the city to a point where
it might be classed as "A A L."
But city in Indiana, unlike the
individual, can not borrow any more
money with its good credit than other
cities can on their poor credit 1t is
simply able to get better terms.
What the cities of northern Lake
county should urge of the next leg
islature is the passage of a law which
will make it possible for growing
municipalities like Gary, East Chi
Icago and Hammond to borrow beyond
two percent of the valuation of its
assessa bles.
Cities like these should be able to
borrow even to the extent of four
per cent of their assessed valuation.
But such loans should only be made
possible by a referendum vote. This
is the practice in Illinois and it is
very good one. 1t prevents one adj
ministration from encumbering the
| taxpayers without their consent.
| Yes Hammonds credit is good and
yet 1t is unable to borrow the money
to make purchases of park properties
while land is still cheap. The city
must plead poverty as an excuse for
an inadequate water system It's
officers say, I'VE know we ought IN
