ALL REMOVED


and the East Chicago COM
pany were also included in the settle
ment thereby removing the last of the
legal distractions TO the road. The
basis of the settlement was a reduction
OF $500 in the benefits assessed
the Honore estate making the
benefits $3.50 instead of $3,14e as first
levied. The McClintock Marshall bene-
fit was reduced from 50. 200 to s1,7o0.
East Chicago Company dismissed
their case without any changes in their
assessment.
The amount appraised for the value
of the land belonging to the Honore
estate and condemned for the use of the
road was s13.sO0 which with the bene-
fits of s3,140 deducted, would leave
s10.ooo to be made up by assessments
on other properties in the vicinity of
Parish avenue and Dickey place ex-
tended.
The East Chicago p of course,
would be the biggest contributors to-
ward this assessment. But small prop
erty owners in Indiana Harbor must
also expect to pay their share of the
assessment levied. They should also
bear In mind that the extension of
Dickey place is one of the most impor-
tant improvements accruing to Indi-
ana Harbor in many years and 1t is
very essentiol that the taxes levied for
this development be paid within the
next ten days or suit will at once be
instituted. This. of course, will only
add court costs and attorneys fees
to a tax which must be paid anyhow.
Those who understand the situation
and all 1t involves are a u anti In the
opinion that the representatives Of the
city acted wisely in taking the matter
of the Dickey road out of the curtis
and settling it at once and for all. The
concessions. amounting to $4,000. that
is to say. $1,000 to the Honore estate
and $500 to the Northumberland
| mpa will be taken care OF out of
the genera fund by an ordinance
which will be presented to the coun-
| ell at the next regular meeting. 1t is
not expected that any opposition to
| this measure will develop, as the ne
cessity of providing for the contingent
cy will be evident to all the council
men.

were out after the office. had enter
tanned similar expectations.
Mr.. Donovan is an old resident of
East Chicago. having come to his city

little more than a dot on the map. A
democrat by inheritance, his father
who also resides in East Chicago hav-

taken an active interest in politics. He
has never held public office, but has
always been prominently identified
with the local democratic organization,
and four years ago he ran for city
clerk on the citizens ticket, there be-
ing no democratic ticket in the field at
that time.
Mr.. o. in spite of his present
occupation which Is along mechanical

for the office of postmaster, having
worked for several years In the office
of the chemical at Grasselli.
where he learned to be systematic and
got a good idea of office details which
should stand him In good stead in his
new position. After leaving Grasselli
he learned the trade of a m%oulder,

which he has followed ever since.

tracks as nearly together as safety per-
mits.
The details of the agreement upon
ate are not of much interest to the
average citizen. The main point is
that the differences of the c~ontendine
on the new lines which has been held
up for some time will proceed forth
with. Incidentally it will necessitate
the changing of the location of the
tracks of the South Shore from their
present location to their new position.
This work is to be begun. according
to the contract, within five days of the
time the board of public works of East
Chicago shall approve of such re-loca-
ton and installing the tracks. and it
is to be completed within sixty days
of the date of the boards approval.
Another feature of the contract
which will meet the approval of citi-
zens generally Is that the overhead
trolley wires of the new lines will be
strung fro mthe span wires of the
South shore, doing away with the ne
cessity of extra poles.
There will be three tracks across the
bascule bridge over the canal at Chi
cago avenue. two belonging to the
South Shore and one used jointly by
| the Gary & Interurban and the Ham
mond, Whiting and East Chicago line.

track across the canal. that one the
