south passing along the west boundary
line OF Gary, the west line of Ham
mond and on through Highlands xnd
Griffith to Cedar Lake and Lowell. The
road from Cline avenue to within about
a mile or of its southern terminus
would be directly north and south. It
is to be eighty feet in width, with q
roadbed of twenty feet
w. B. Van Horne has already been
busy on the project, having asked a
large number OF property owners in
the towns to be tapped by the pros
pectfve highway, their opinion on its
advfsabiIity. and also having conferred
with many of the farmers along the
way. While all seem anxious to have
the road put in. the latter are espe-
cially enthusiastic. this giving them an
outlet to the lake, with their produce.
The matter was brought up by Mr..
Van Horne at the meeting of the Com
mercial club last night and was re-
ferred to the committee on the direct
road to Gary, composed OF Monroe
