by the township assessor.
There was nothing left for the city
to do but to take an appeal and while
it was felt by representatives of the
city and the chamber that some were
paying a fair proportion of the taxes of
the city. yet it was seen that the state

THIS WAS
THE REASON

The north side residence district Of
East Chicago saw confusion OF auto
mobile traffic last Sunday afternoon
that caused a gerat number to wonder
why It was that so many Chicago cars
were circling and encircling the blocks
in that section. Cars were turning
around in the middle of the streets, get
ting in each others way. chasing even
through alleys with drivers stopping all
pedestrians and asking for information
about the road to Chicago.
The situation resulted from the clos
ing of 145th street which is still under
repair and which will be closed for a
week or so yet because of the inability
of the street commissioner to get gravel
with which to complete the job.
The blue book routes traffic to Chi
cago by way of Chicago avenue, For
syth avenue and 145th street, west to
Calumet boulevard. When the cars came
to Magoun avenue and found that they
could get no farther in that direction
they invariably turned north instead Of
south to Chicago avenue and then west
Then they found themselves on the
nor side with no exit.
The East Chicago Motor club. in cour-
tesy to Chicago traffic has now put up
road signs directing traffic straight west
on Chicago avenue to Calumet avenue
while 145th street is closed. This club
is doing it's bit but it needs more MEM
bers more men to help in work of this
nature.

SCHOOLS

The Gary council last night took
steps that will enable the school city to
acquire land for two new schools at
cost of 100000
A new school for the south side. be-
low the Froebel district, will be located
near Gath avenue and Harrison street.
The trustees were authorized to acquire
by purchase of condemnation. Authori-
cation was also given to buy 1853 acres
of land in tract between 5th and 9TH
avenue and Cleveland and Garfield
streets for s1.s25 an acre. This terri
tory is now a wilderness, but it is ex-
pected to be the center of west side
population in a few years. Each school
will be able to take care of 5000 chill
dren.

draft condition in Lake county. Be-
cause of the fact that there are so many

provide several times more soldiers for
the new national army in proportion to
its total population than other communi-
ties, Governor Goodrich told General
Crowder
General Crowder told the Governor
nothing could be done to relieve the sit

When the world series is concluded
it is not going to be SO hard to find
the outfielder to lit in with Cobb and
Speaker as No. 3 in the list. Ills name
is very likely to be Oscar F'elsch. If he
doesn't bag the coveted and mythical
honor this season. the end of the 1918
campaign will find him intrenched.
Felsch has already reached stardom.
He is now on his way to greatness.
For, in an outfielding way, for all
around value, including grace, dash
and style, he has but one equal. and
his name is Speaker. Felsch can't hit
with Cobb or Speaker, but he can OUT
field Cobb and give Speaker . close
