HERMAN IS BUSY

Street Commissioner Kiernan Of East
Chicago is working on a comprehensive
plan to put the streets of both ends of
the city in the best condition possible.
Unfortunately. however, the street de-
partment. according to Mr.. Herman, is
handicapped just as other departments
OF the city are by not having sufficient
funds to do the Kind of work that real
" ought to be done on the severa.
streets,
Those that are included in present
plans are 145th street from White Oar
avenue to Forsyth avenue; 135th. 18th.
13Sth and 139th streets from Michigan
avenue to Cedar street.
The job on 145th street is ready and
waiting for some stone screenings that
are expected daily. 135th street is be
ing sacrificed and will be rolled and
treated as soon as the work can be
done.
The commissioner said this morning
that it was a shame to put so much
time and money on these streets and
not properly finish the job so that it
would be a permanent Improvement but
that the lack of funds. with these funds
spread over much mileage. made it
impossible to do more than he was do
ing. He proposed a plan. however.
which is being worked out very salts
factorily in some cities.
The plan involves repairing the street
in such a way that it becomes prac-
tically a permanent and satisfactory
Improvement and to have the expense of
same paid equally by the city and the
abuttine property owners. This makes
a cheap Job for the property owner and
insures the least possible cost for ma
terial and labor. The work could be
done just as satisfactorily as through a
contractor and al a much less expense.
Heretofore the city street department
has not been equipped for this class of
work but with the rev roller and
scarif1er. the oiler. etc. there is no good
reason why an excellent job could not
be done by city labor under the direc-
tion of the commissioner.
This plan has already been proposed
to some of the property owners on 135th
street and has been received favorably.
George Mosny IS an enthusiastic expon-
ent of the plan. George wants a good
permanent street and is willing to share
the expense. If there are other that
feel that same way. the commissioner
is willing to do his part toward a salts
factory arrangement

BIGOTS OUSTED
"A. p. A. REGIME IN SCHOOLS
ENDED BY CITIZENS OF
DENVER.

The Denver public recalled Benja-
min Jones and Benjamin C. Hilliard
as school directors recently, throwing
them out by a two-to-one vote. Jones
was elected three years ago on an
openly anti-Catholic ticket and, with
DR.. c.. N Guyer, who faces a recall
election in the fall, has consistently
fought the Catholics so much that he
has brought the school system to the
verge of ruin. Therecall was handled
entirely by non-C Catholics and origi-
mated with them. twas simply case
of complete disgust by the body polite
with outrageous bigotry. Hilliard, for
time, openly sided with Jones and
Guyer, helping them to oust a number
of Catholic teachers, some of whom
have not been put back in their posi-
tions to this day, despite splendid
local records. Later, Hilliard ceased
siding with the jones' -Guyer faction,
openly at least. but he so nauseated
the people by standing up for kaiser
ism in congress that he was deemed
unfit to be a school director. Guyer
succeeded in holding off his recall by
q lawsuit. But. the petitions are filed
| to oust him, and it is certain that he
lis going to get what the other two
have suffered.
