Not only has steam coal become a
negligible quantity In Omaha, but stove
and furnace coal Is running low and
dealers are refusing to sell 1t except In
small quantities. One more week Of the
extreme cold would cause actual suffer

Traffic is impeded by the cold and me

compelled TO cJnfiscate coal in transit to

The supply of steam coal at the South
Omaha packing houses is completely ex-
hausied and the packers are buying In
small lots. wherever they can find any
coal. at advanced prices. Unable TO get
steam coal, they are buying nut coal,

RIDGE ROAD FUTURE

so cut up by railroads. so traversed by
endless swamps so near the busy
industries that it is difficult
TO convert it into an ideal residential
district.
But south of the river on this splcn-
did thoroughfare, only twenty min
utes automobile ride from the cities OF
Gary, East Chicago. Indiana Harbor
and Hammond, the Erie road winds
through the woodland giving occa-
sional glimpses of green fields and
cultivated farms
Great Opportunity.
If the property owners along the
ridge road take advantage of the
present conditions to make the Ridge
Road the scenic highway of the region.
If they widen the road to 100 feet and
make 1t a boulevard. If they pay some
attention to the architecture of the
homes they build; the future of this
thoroughfare is made. 1t will be the
Michigan boulevard of the Calumet
region.
In certain sections of the east cross
roads villages are made beautiful by
the adoption of styles OF architecture
which are in keeping with the sur
roundings The fact is recognized that
the architecture of rural homes should
be different from those in the cities.
This idea should be worked out on
the Ridge Road.l A Ridge Road I'M
provement association should be form
ed The owners of farm lands along
this beautiful thoroughfare snouid
pay particular attention to the plant
ing of trees and the care of the lawns
in front of their places.
In this way the eyes OF thousands of
automobile tourists will be attracted
to this beauty spot and in time the
road will become one of the famous
lthoroughfares of the state of Indiana
Even the taverns along the road AMI
at the cross roads could be made
from one end to another could becom
a delight to the resident of that terri
tory and JOY to the passerby.
Steps in this direction are being talk
en- now and it is believed that in an.
other five or six years one of tbs
pleasures of a visit to the CaIume
region will be an automobile trip ovei
the entire length of the ridge road.

THE FLAT BUILDING IN
THE CALUMET REGION
Does It Pay? No Comparison Between Chicago and
This Locality Because of Difference
in Conditions.

The cities of the Calumet region
have their own building problems Just
as their problems individual ones
in transportation, industrial and city
building matters.
Flat buildings of a character tina.
Chicago would never pay in the cities
of the Calumet region and it is possi
BILE that the kind of fiat buildings that
would pay in this region would be
poor investment in Chicago.
For instance in Chicago there are
hundreds of fat buildings from which
q rental of $3.50 to $500 for each nat is
secured. Such a fat would be a white
elephant on the hands of the owner :r
this locality for the reason that the
man who could afford $3.50 month for
rent would own a $4,000 home on a
large piece of ground rather than paw
the interest on that amount in fat
rental.
why Flats At All.
There is just one excuse for building
fat in a community where land is :
cheap 1t is in Lake Count and that
is the fact that 1t requires compare
lively smaller investment to provide a
home for a family in a fat building
than 1t does to build a residence for
him.

The Ridge Road is well named 1t

three. four. Ave and six room apart
ments.
The small apartment can be rented
for proportionately larger sum, they
do not require any more attention on
the part of the landlord. they fill the
traditional long felt want and the de-
mand for them is greater than for any
other kind of rentable property.
Investment Phys.
For instance an apartment building
with 16, "a or 81 small flats in it could
be built for a reasonable figure One
man could look after the janitor work
and care for the lawn He could re
move the garbage and act as the super
vising agent of the building.
A three room fiat would bring $40
month. a four room fiat s25 a month
a five room fat $40 a month and six
room fat $35 a month. The heating Of
the building could be done much more
economically for the reason that ex-
pert firing would save coal and 1t
would be easier to heat apartments in
the same building than two or four
fiat buildings where the wind gets a
| full sweep from all sides.
The best demonstration of the sue
cess of large fiat building is the
apartment that was built by J. r.
Brant of Gary after plans drawn by
Bump and Berry of Hammond.
| The fiat had IL apartments which
lhave since been increased to L. The
building cost $4,000 originally and
the rental was $3.50 a month or $500
a year. The building will pay for itself
in five years and then the interest on
the investment will be approximately
20 per cent net

decidedly modern building and rented
for $50 to $50 a fiat. The demand for
homes in Gary is far in excess of the
supply but it will be 25 years before
the cities of the Calumet region. and
especially Gary. will be overbuilt SO
that there is no immediate fear OF a
decrease in the demand for apart
ments.
The problems of providing tempo
rary homes for the people who come
to the region is about as serious in one
city as 1t is in another. The small fiat
makes 1t possible for the young mar
ried couple, the couple without chill
dren. the couple who is living in an
apartment temporarily until a home
can be built to furnish a few rooms
and live comfortably.
Where the apartments are small it
lis usually advisable to provide room
for a cafe where the tenants in the
building get part or all of their
meals This can be satisfactorily
sublet to a good caterer who will find
it to her interests to give satisfaction.
1t is safe to say that Hammond. East

ing the small apartment Is good
thing for the reason that 1t makes q
family temporary resident of the city

and this temporary residence usually
results in permanent residence there.

that make it hard to break away and
