COOL BREEzES BRING
RELIEF FROM HEAT
Residents of Washington Not
Suffering Like Those of
Nearby Cities.

While New York, Philadelphia. Balti-
more and other nearby points swelter in
the grip of heat more intense than has
been experienced in forty years, accord
ing to weather bureau reports, residents
Of Washington are today enjoying balmy
breezes and temperature just right for
the time of year.
OF course, it was a little warm yester-
day. for awhile. but the thunderstorm
that came up shortly after sunset
brought with it breezes that cooled the
air and brought relief from the heat of
the middle OF the day. The weekly fore
cast issued by the weather bureau this
no awaiting stunts this week; that the
temperature day by day will be about
the seasonable average. and that thunder
storms and showers will be of sufficiently
frequent occurrence to keep the air clear
and cool.
In New York yesterday the. mercury
reached a mark higher than it has at
tanned there since 1S72-that is, on June ,.
Baltimore had temperature that dallied
with the 100 mark on official thermo-
meters, and at Philadelphia it was about
the same. Away out west they had some
warm weather, too: San Francisco Their
mometers showed nnety-three degrees.
and at Fresno the mercury climbed to
106-and they say 1t has only twice been
hotter than that since Fresno got on
the map.

HIS FORCE INADEQUATE
FOR INSPECTION DUTY
Collector of Customs Wants
Supervision of Pleasure
Craft Transferred.

Effort will be made to have the in
spection of motor boats and pleasure
craft plying the Potomac and it's
branches near the District transferred
TO the bureau of navigation. The in
spection of such craft is now in charge
of the customs service, the work in
Washington being part of the duties
of the collector of the port of George
town.
Collector Whitefield McKinlay of the
port of Georgetown declares that it is
impossible for his office, with the funds
and men at its command TO make any
thing like adequate Inspection of the
scores of pleasure craft owned by
Neutrality-suspicious.. Only one man, says
Collector Mckinlay. can be spared
from his small office force, and this
man is not available all of the time.
Unable to Comply With Law.
AS result man, motor boats and
small craft are not inspected according
to the law, and many never have been
visited by an inspector since they were
placed in commission.
Several drownings and other accidents
that have occurred within recent years.
says Collector Mckinlay. can probably
be attributed to the lack of proper inSpec-
ton Lack of lights as required by law
and the inefficiency of motors or engines
or the incompetence of operators result
frequently in accidents in which lives are
lost as was the case recently, when a
motor boat was run down by an excur-
sion steamer and two women were
drowned

service say they have no authority for

II funds and men are not available for

Development
of Business
Thoroughfares

The Importance, present and
prospective, Of p business
thoroughfare can be estimated
almost to a certainty This esti-
mate can be made, however, only
by close study of the map and
general knowledge of the general
trend of the development of the
region
The things that must be taken
into consideration are many and
may be partially enumerated as
follows:
1. The length and width Of
the street.
3 The population of the ter
ritory through which it and its
intersections extend The char
acter of that population.
g. Whether or not it is the
shortest distance between two or
more populous points.
A. Whether or not it is the
logical highway between cities.
8. The character of it's sur
face and subterranean improve
ments.
6. The number of railroad
crossings or other distractions
such as bridges.

THE MAIN STREETS in
THE -FOUR BIC CITIES
Development of Inter Communicating
ThorOughfares Means Much /
to Region

The business thoroughfares of the
Calumet region afford good oppor-
tunity for study PROFESSIONALLY,
all points considered, Broadway in
Gary is by and far the most magnifi-
cent business thoroughfare in the en-
tire region.
1t is 100 feet wide in Gary, is
flanked on either side with twelve
foot walks all of the way to Glen
Park, distance of four miles, it is
lighted by a modern system of street
lights along its built up portion, the
building restrictions imposed by the
Gary Land Co. have lined it with
beautiful buildings OF harmonious
design and even sky line and taken
in all it is the model of the municipal
architect.
BROADWAY A NEW STREET.
But while Broadway will always he
the show street of Gary it may no.
always be the most important street
commercially. At one end of Broad !
way is the steel mills: at the other
nothing. Broadway just extends and
extends but it does not connect Gary
with any other great center. of popu-
Iation. 1t Will doubtless some day be
the main artery through which tn ,
suburban population viii come into
Gary but that is long way off.
The Lake County times. [volume] (Hammond, Ind.) 1906-1933, 1912-04-17

1t connects centers of population with
Indiana Harbor and the Baldwin loco :
motive works on one end and East
Chicago. Hammond and all points west
on the other end.
It already has substantial develop
ment and Will witness a greater de-
velopment in the next five years than
any other street in the region. This
will come as a result of the fact that
it has more population. present and
prospective, tributary to it than any
other street in the region.
NOT HARD TO TELL THEN.
1t is easy to figure out and determ-
inc to a certainty the other important
east and west streets in East Chicago
and Indiana Harbor. They will. Of
course be confined to the streets tina.
are permitted to cross the canal. These
are One Hundred and Forty-frst
street, One Hundred and Fifty first
street and what ever street is opene J
directly between Indiana Harbor ans
Whiting
In East Chicago there will be but
one important north and south street
The Lake County times. [volume] (Hammond, Ind.) 1906-1933, 1912-04-17

through from Lake, Michigan to the
country districts south of the Little
Calumet river, a distance of between
nine and ten miles.
This compensates somewhat for its
poverty in east and west streets. On
the north side of the river One Hun
dred and Forty-first and Gostlin
streets. Chicago avenue. Hoffman and
One Hundred and Fiftieth streets are
likely to become important business
thoroughfares with the advantage in
favor OF Chicago avenue on account OF
its Importance in East Chicago.
POORLY LAID OUT.
On the south side of the river ths
city was so poorly laid out that about
the only streets that have a ghost OF
show of developing into important
business thoroughfares are State and
Sbley streets, with Fayette and Car
roll streets distant possibilities. 1t is
hard to tell just how the currents o.
east and west.
In West Hammond there is an OPP
portunity to make Burnham avenue arr
important street but it would only be-
come a feeder for State street in Harl-
mond and West Hammond.
Whiting has Indiana boulevard as
an important business street and One
Hundred and Nineteenth street as 4
possible future outlet to the southern
| sections OF Chicago.
WHAT WOULD HELP THERE.
The fact should not be overlooked
that traffic flows in swift currents
around Instructions. Take the caso
of Indiana boulevard in Robertsdale
and Whiting. This street should havs
been made 100 feet wide for the rea-
son that 1T carries all of the east ana
west traffic between Chicago and the
cities of Indiana. 1t is bound to be-
come an important street. With
population to speak of, tributary TO It
streams of traffic pour over it and
business places line it for the reason
that it carries the traffic. The open
| ing of One Hundred and Nineteen.h
street over the neck of Wolf Lake
would relieve the future congestion on
this street
The Lake County times. [volume] (Hammond, Ind.) 1906-1933, 1912-04-17

1t is a good guess that Fifth ave-
nue. in Gary will be the more import
ant commercial street in another i've
or ten years. Fifth avenue is not as
wide and snowy a street as Broadway
but it traverses territory that is full
of possibilities.
1t is being rapidly extended west
ward to the Kline avenue where it
will divide its traffic. Part OF it will
go northward to One Hundred and
Fifty first street and thence north
ward into Indiana Harbor and west
ward to East Chicago and on to the
northern portion of Hammond.
INTO HAMMoND's HEART.
The other part OF this traffic will go
southwark on Cline avenue to the road
occupied by the Gary Interurban
railroad on the section line and thence
directly into Hammond's business dis !.
trict.
Fifth avenue, it will be seen. IS to
become the main east and west artery
OF traffic between the cities of North
township and the cities of Calumet
township. Tt Is the most direct route
from both East Chicago and -lam-
mond, and that means from Chicago.

of the great manufacturing district

along both banks of the Grand Calu-

and south street but it is blocked by
the Gibson yards and will never over

Forsythe avenue
HAS POSSIBILITIES.
Hammond has a wealth of north and
south streets but few east and west
streets that will ever be developed as
business thoroughfares. It's north and
south streets of promise are Holman
street. Calumet avenue. Columbia ave-
nue. with the possibility that Sohl
street and State Line street will de-
velop as econdary business streets.
Beginning with White Oak avenue
on the east; Columbia avenue, Calu
met avenue and Holman street are
just about half a mile apart They ara
all. with the exception of the first
mentioned. to be opened all of the way

from Whiting into this heart OF its
business district. Michigan avenue is
already a creditable business street
Guthrie street will take the traffic
from Tolleston and Gary via Kline and
Fifth avenues.
Euclid, Parrish and Kennedy will be
the principal north and south
thoroughfres. Kennedy avenue will
be the most important of the three for
the reason that 1T is the first street
west OF Kline avenue that can be ex-
tended through to the country and flu
ture residential districts south of the
Calumet river. All other north and
south streets in Indiana Harbor are
cut of by factory Instructions.
CHICAGO AVENUE.
In East Chicago the principal east
and west street will, of course be Chi
cago avenue. This is primarily BE-
cause 1T was laid out along the same
broad lines that have made Broadway
famous It has the advantage of being
something of a business thoroughfare
