TENDER our work elsewhere Is in such
shape that a serious delay would be
experienced in case the proceedings
promise to be long drawn out we will
lay our tracks in accordance to Judge
McMahans view of where they should
be, and take a chance on being obliged
to move them again.
The ground which in Judge Nc
Mahan's opinion the South Shore for
fefted It's right to lay its new track in
its present location was the failure on
the part of the company to lay them
six months after the granting of their
franchise.
Mr.. Gavit also stated that work on
his line from Gary to Indiana Harbor
was progressing nicely. mile of the
roadbed has been graded and is ready
for the ties for one miles west from
the American Bridge works in Fifth
avenue.
He also said that work on the Ken
nedy avenue line would start from the
Gibson end in about two weeks. This
will not interfere with the Gary
branch, as an additional crew will be
put on the Kennedy avenue branch.

How To Get Homes.

months ago by President H. s. Norton
to determine: First Why Gary Is short
1000 homes; Second, How to reduce
rentals; Third, How to attract outside
capital; Fourth. How TO slice off house
building costs; Fifth How is the best
way to build a cheap house.
At a meeting held last spring vari-
Gus reasons were offered because of
rentals and the failure of outside CAPT
tai to build in the stel city. 1t was
shown that If there were 1000 more
houses in Gary that they would be i'm
mediately occupied by families living
outside OF the city whose heads work
in the Gary mills but who cannot
afford to pay the excessive rentals.
Everybody Is Blamed.
As to the causes of the high rental;
the real estate men blamed them or
the greed of the contractors the con
tractors on the high fees obtained by
the plumbers and the high license they
have outside plumbers away The
plumbers blame high costs on the city

 SAVE GIRLS LIFE
CRIPPLED NEWsBoY WILL SAcRl- FlCE LIMB TO CRAFT ON
 YOUNG WoMAN'S BODY.

Chicago, Sept William Rugh. a crippled neswboy. who recently yolun- teered to give his leg, that it's skin might be grafted to save the life of Miss Ethel Smith, will make the sac rifice tomorrow. Rugh and Miss Smith will lie on adjoining tables in the op- erating room of the Cary, Ind, hospit- al, while the young mans leg is ampu- tated ana the still living cuticle is applied to burns on Miss Smiths body.
 The sacrifice of a limb in such a case is said to be without precedent.
 Fifty per cent of the skin was burn ed from Miss Smiths body in an ex- plosion of gasoline in motorcycle ac- cident several weeks ago. The burns were so extensive that healing would not start and it became known that Miss Smith would die. Rugh imme- diately offered his leg, but it was only today that Miss Smiths parents anl physicians consented to accept the sacrifice.
