STATE LINE PAVING IS
MUCH MOOTEO QUESTION

ing to settle the controversy by con-
demnation proceedings when property
did not have near the values it has
now.
Many of the property owners who
were assessed for the opening of State
line street are under the impression
that thy were assessed for a uniform
widening of the street but this is not
the case, as the assessment was made
only to open from Sibley street north
to Plummer avenue. Their argument is
that State Line street is good to
them unless it becomes a general thor

Under the Indiana laws the procedure
for public improvements is much more
simple than under the Illinois laws

followed by the bids on four standard

i tached, and there the property owners

agreed at the meeting this morning that

At conference between Hammond
and West Hammond city officials at the
meeting of the Hammond board OF pub
lie works, the state line improvement
project was again brought up this morn
ing, and while there is the best of har-
mony between the two sets of officials
TO work out the Improvement, the ulti-
mate solution of the whole problem is
apparently yet far off.
The two immediate questions before
the two communities. as stated by At
torney p S. Patterson for West Ham
mond, is the kind of improvement and
the extent. Both sets OF officials are
proceeding on the assumption that
asphalt macadam would be the most
acceptable pavement to property own
ers on both sides of the state line. But
opposition is anticipated on both sides
