DECISION rs
NO NEARER

Unwilling to concede the opinions of
officials and engineers a faction of
State Line street property owners last
evening defeated the purpose of mass
meeting in the West Hammond city
nearer decision than before.
1t was revealed under the cross
questioning of r. J.. Lyons, Hammond
city engineer. that the state line as
determined by Engineer Edgar A. Ros-
sitter of Chicago is not straight Ros-
sitter admitted this Therefore Ham
mond officials see fit to dispute il as
authentic and refuse absolutely to base
plot OF State Line street upon it.
If West Hammond refuses to live up
to the agreement which Mayor Wosz-
czynski says he entered into with a
misunderstanding the Illinois city will
be the greater loser. The state line is
it's front street and Hammonds back
street.
p j. Lyons endeavored to convince
the citizens who filed the council
chamber of the West Hammond city
hall that Hammond was sincere and
honest in entering into the agreement
fixing the curb lines of State Line
street. He did not succeed very well
The opinion of many on the west side

NEW PAVE
ON KENWOOD
NEAR DONE

The William Ahlborn Construction
Company has six teams and a large
number of men at work on the build
ing of Kenwood avenue, which is to be
one of Hammond's most important east
and west thoroughfares.
The street is already graded through
the Kenwood addition and work is now
being carried on at the Calumet ave-
nue. end of the job. There is a large
amount of grading being done and 1t
is hoped that this will be completed
before the cold weather sets In.
The street is to be the only straight
jogless east and west street between
Holman street and Columbia avenue,
north of the city limits and south of
Gostlin street. This is a poor COM
mentary on sense of order of the or
iginal buildirs of Hammond.
Conkey avenue has a jog at the Erie
crossing and Calumet avenue; Hart
street has a jog at the Erie crossing
Carroll street does not run through and
there is that series of diagonal streets
that comprise the old town of Ham,
mond.
North of the river Hoffman street has
jog in it at Calumet avenue and Chi
cago avenue at Terrence avenue The
new street will be a blessing to au-
tomobile owners who have been COM
PEELED to drive over the unspeakalby
poor pavement on Conkey avenue all OF

Train Blockades.

Traffic on Holman street and the
Michigan Central tracks was tied up
for almost an hour about o'clock this
morning, when a long I. H. Belt freight
train. pulled two draw bars, causing
dozens of people to be late for work
officer John Kunz asked the train
crew to cut the crossing. but his re-
quest was not granted until. Desk Sar-
gent Borchert and other officers were
called from the Central station.
This is a daily occurrence at the
Holman street crossing, and people are
tired at the treatment they are receiv-
ing from the various railroads Most
of the fault lies in the fact that some
of the railroads pull such heavy drags
that ii is almost impossible for the
engines to move them. Seversl arrests
and heavy fines would put q stop TO
this practice.
