TRAFFIC
SURPRISES CRITICS

A financial writer in a Chicago paper
has the following to say of the much
abused Erie
The Erie. which has become new
railroad in the past few years, is keep
ing up its campaign for traffic, based
upon the quick and economical move
ment of freight. and the campaign is
bringing surprising results-surprising
TO those who thought before 1907 that
the roads future was behind it. In
January 1t carried the heaviest amount
of traffic that Ii has handled in the
first month OF any calendar year in it's
history. Its estimated gross receipts
for that month are s4.271 900. gain of
$4,000 over even the heavy gross earn
ings OF January, 1911. And. contrary
to the experiences of many other
roads, its greatest increases were not
In coal. but in the better paying mer-
chandise traffice. That class of freight
helped to swell gross earnings to the
extent of about 100000. whereas coal
freight receipts fell off about $4,000.
The Erie has secured money through
special notes for the double tracking
of the last stretch, 24o miles, from Ma
rion, O.. to Chicago.

Tomorrow is the first of March and
assessors throughout Lake county and
every county In Indiana will begin
their work.
In Calumet township, Major John
MacFadden. will put fifteen deputies to
work listing the taxables of Gary,
Griffith and rural parts of the town
ship. Later he will increase the force
to twenty deputies.
1t is expected that the tax listing
this year will not be so hard as in 1911
as the assessors do not make any valua
tions on real property, this work be-
ing done only once every four years In
Indiana. Last years valuations will
be taken as the standard until 1915.
Garys assessment last year was s22,-
10000 and Major MacFadden expects
that this year will show values in the
neighborhood of the s25.o00,000 mark
1t is believed that on this years yalua-
tion Gary will pay something like
$780, 900 in taxes for city, and county
and state purposes.

GARY WILL FOLLOW
HAMMONO'S LEAD

The police will ask the Gary COM
mon council to pass an ordinance ord
ering all pool and billiard rooms to be
closed at midnight and that they be
prohibited from employing women or
girl assistants.
Numerous complaints have come in
from employers that their young men
employees often remain In the pool
room until three o'clock in the morn
ing, thus rendering them unfit for
work the next day. There are about
twenty pool rooms in Gary and three
fourths of these are conducted by
Greeks.
Nearly every Greek poolroon owner
in Gary is a law violator and they have
Riveny the police q. great deal of trou-
BILE. Some Of them have employed girl;
of tender age to do porter work abou,
the place and recently the government
has been making Investigations into
alleged violations of the white slav,
laws on the part of the Greeks.
