CLUB TAKES
UP FRANCHISES

The East Chicago Commercial club
held a meeting last night at which one
of the main features of business was
the consideration of the application by
the Hammond. Whiting & East Chicago
Street Railway company for a fran
chise over the newly opened Dicley
place, from Indiana Harbor to Whit
ing.
Peter Crumpacker. the Hammond at
torney, was present to plead the cause
of the street car company. as was also
H. NJ Easterly of Chicago, the engi-
neer for the Green line. Mr.. Crum-
packer said he asked the cooperation
of the club in getting the measure fa-
vorable consideration at the hands of
the board of public works and the city
council. He stated that the PROPOSE
tion was not a new one with his COM
pany. and that in making application
for a franchise the Green line was
neither following in the wake of nor
seeking to oppose the Gavit interests,
who had applied for a franchise over
the same thoroughfare. "Our compa-
n.y." said Mr.. Crumpacker, asked for
a similar franchise some years ago,
but no action on 1t was ever taken.
We are not 'bucking' the Gary & In
terurban. / hope that both companies
will secure the franchises they are
sewing"
The attorney declared his faith in
the future of Indiana Harbor and East
Chicago in glowing terms, decla ring
that they need take a back seat for no
city il the region. the canal being an
asset that could not be too highly ap-
praised. He considered the Twin Cities
the heart of the Calumet region. The
line he represents seeks it's franchise
over Dickey place as far as 12Sth
street. at which point it's tracks are to
DIVORCE to meet the present tracks in
Forsyth avenue. The Gary & Interur-
ban seeks the right to run it's tracks
in Dickey place as far Standard ave
nue. and thence on into Whiting.
Mr.. Crumpacker dwelt on the neces-
sity of a franchise being granted be-
fore May / in order that the company
be given an opportunity to get rid OF
its bonds. He stated that this improve.
ment was only one of a number con,
templated by his line. His company
