ought to be running over the new ex-
tensions with few months.
The people OF East Chicago and Ham
mond are more interested in the Green
line than they are in the Gavit line. for
the reason that it does more to develop
their territory than the Gavit line
They are very much pleased with the
announcement of the Green line that
the work of construction will commence
so soon. In fact, this is really as i'm
portant as the knowledge that the
Baldwin company will now begin con-
struction work.
After the men have been employed at
the Baldwin plant it will be just as i'm
portant to find place to house them
and the building of the new street car
line will make the whole region avail
able to them for residential purposes.
