AVENUE:
MATTER Up
Question of Whether Splen-
did Thoroughfare Is to Be
One of Principal Streets in
Hammond Will Be De-
cided Next Week.

Next week, on the 2s OF April, the
property owners on Calumet avenue
in Hammond are going to determine
whether or not they are going to
favor the greatest project for correc-
tive and constructive city building, the
widening of Calumet avenue. or
whether they are going to play the
part of unprogressives and delay pro
ceedings by demonstrating against the
Improvement.
The future of Calumet avenue is as
sured. 1t is to be the finest street in
Hammond. the lorses straight street
in the county, the most important
north and south thoroughfare in north
township.
The street was ordered opened by a
declaratory resolution passed by the
board OF public works a year and d
half ago. This resolution was after
wards confirmed. SO that the city
will at least be assured of the opening
of the street.
The widening of the street is also an
assured fact. There can be no recall
ing of this Improvement The board
of public works will not stand for II
and public opinion generally favors it
TO Hear Remonstrances.
The only question that now remains
for settlement is the matter of the
benefits and damages. Some of the
property owners are not content with
the damages they have been award ed
But the most they can do Is to de-
lay the project. They may remon-
strste, the board may, if 4. thinks ths
