This pipe was laid under contract

companies from continuing building
operations In Chicago avenue, East
Chicago on the line selected by them,
seems to have been little confusing
to the average layman.
Frank Gavit was interviewed this
morning to elucidate the situation and
he explained that while the decision
hangs a temporary injunction over the
operations of the Gavit and the Red
lines, 1t Is In effect a victory for the
defendants The South Shore people
asked among other things that the
new lines be compelled to build their
tracks on thirteen foot center from
the track recently laid by the South
Shore. but not yet in operation
This would place the defendants
track almost up to the north curb line
of the street. The court however held

track In its present location and de-
cided that the track should be moved

bring it about five feet south of where

ing IT away at every opportunity they
got. and during the past two months
have stolen in the neighborhood of two
cars of soft coal. In one place,
shack was found packed with coal
enough TO last a large family all win
ter.
In some instances 1t was found that
the thieves were selling the coal to
various business houses In East Ham
mond, deriving large sums of money
from their spoils. Instead of working
some OF the thieves found that they
could make more money by stealing
coal and selling it again.
c. & O. railroad detectives are now
working on the case and the names Of
and their arrests will be caused today
In Judge Prests court Last winter
the c. & O. had great deal of trou-

Good News From Hammond
Manufacturers About
Their Plant.

The Fftzhugh-Luther company, the
only Hammond industry which has re-
mained shut down during the past two
or three years. will reopen again in
about three weeks
The TIMES got this information from
one of the officials of the company and
1t may be regarded as authentic. The
plant will employ from 100 to 200 men,
and will mean a great deal to that
section of the north side.
The plant was formerly regarded as
one of the most substantial industries
OF the city. The plant is located at
the corner of Columbia avenue and
150th street.
The buildings and machinery are in
good condition despite the long idle
ness of the plant. The report that the
plant had been leased seems to be un-
true, and 1T will be started In opera
ton again by the old management.

.HAMMOND'S LIGHTING
SYSTEM GETS SETBACK

against the ordinance in explanation
of their votes and Councilman Pascaly
in favor of 1t. Mr.. Lauer's argument
was that the taxpayers who are not in
the business district would not be
benefited to which Mr.. Pascaly answ-
cred that at the recent mass meeting.
w. B. Conkey a heavy tax payer who
has no interests in the business dis
trict had strongly advocated the i'm
proved system. Mr.. Lauer also said
that he did not consider it fair to have
the business men bear the cost of the
installation when under its present
system the light company installs and
maintains the lights.
If Hammond Is to get the lights at
all, provision for the extra cost must
be made in the next city budget which
must be completed by September 2oth.
The ordinance last night was pre-
ceeded by a petition asking for the
lights, and signed by representative
business men and property owners in
the district.
