SUBURBAN DEVELOPMENT

The chances are that the next few
years will see a healthy growth of
the suburbs of some of our Lake
county cities. Take Gary for in.
stance. Here three new interurban
lines leading into the city from as
many directions are either building
or are completed. A couple of more
are projected.
With cheap fares and rapid transit
many a family will seek out the
suburb because of the opportunities it
offers. East Gary, Hobart. Deep Riv-
er, Merrillville, Chesterton. Ridge
Road, Highlands and even Crown
Point will benefit by this traction de-
velopment. Then there is Hammond
with Highlands, Munster, Oak Glen,
lseester. Liberty West Hammond, Glib
son, Maynard, Lansing and dozen
other places to draw from.
The next boom will follow the
offering of homes with few acres
Surrounding them.

NEW STREETS NEEDED.

met region can not help but notice
that there is a dearth of through
streets which in time may become in
teIcity boulevards.
In the cities of Hammond. East
Chicago. Indiana Harhor- and Whiting
there are enough north and south
thoroughfares that could be opened
for traffic but there are no cas-. and
west streets correcting with the Gary
district.
For instance in the above mention
ed ts.:es there are nine great north
and south thoroughfares Burnham
avenue, West Hammond, State Line
street, Holman street, which is be-
ing extended through to the Ridge
Road south of the river. Calumet
avenue, which is to be built through
from Lake Michigan to the ridge road,
Columbia avenue which is to be built
through from Lake Michigan to the
Calumet river, Whiteoak avenue.
which extends from Whiting to One
Hundred and Fifty-hrst street in Eaa1
Chicago, Forsythe avenue which ex-
tends from Whiting through Fest
lChicago to the ridge road, Kennedy
Iavenue, which extends from Indiana
IHarbor through to Highlands and
Kline avenue, which extends along
the Indiana Harbor-Gary corporation
line to the country districts tc the
lscuthward.
East of Cline avenue and in the
whole of Calumet township there are
Ionly two north and south roads at

to the ridge road. There are the

might be developed into great north

But If Gary has a dearth of north
and south thoroughfares it does have
lsonle east and west thoroughfares
that could be developed into greai
streets
There is Fifth avenue which coule
be extended as far westward as Clins
