Due to the recent spell of mild
weather they were able to get enough
coal into the Gary schoolhouse bins to
permit the reopening of sessions today.
Not only that but the high schools Will
reopen today.
Because of the coal shortage the
night schools closed early in December
and weren't open until mid February or
perhaps not until March. However, the
coal contractors got in cough mine run
to assure a big enough reserve for day
operation and quite a bit to boot for

any if it's present industries. viii be
located in Hegewisch, west of Ham
nond's Douglas park. according to well
informed persons today. The site said to
have been purchased is reported to in
clude what is known as the Bat" Nell
son farm-eighty acres-and probably
some other acreage.
The purchase ends negotiations for
a site extending over severale weeks
The syndicate which is behind the plant
was convinced that Hammond or its
immediate environs was the most suit
able place for the industry. It had
options on tract of land just south of
the Standard Steel Car Company's site
and north of the Knickerbocker farm,
hut these are now said to be abandon
ed for the Hegewisch site.
r Mcbride. formerly general man
ager of the HaskeIl-Barker Car Com
/ pany of Michigan City, is reported to
be heading the new syndicate His
Michigan City experience has made him
firm believer in the Calumet region
and when he and his associates got
ready they selected this territory The
number of men to be employed is said
= range anywhere from 500 to 1900.
Ia, company while new as a corpora
ton has experienced car builders con-
nected with 1t.
The real estate firm Of Gostlin, Meyn

in the Hammond site. and to them goes

GOVERNOR GOODRICH TAKES OATH OF OFFICETODAY
NOW FOR THE HAMMOND PLAN
WOULD END
ELOPE PEMENT

INDIANAPOLIS, IND, Jan. S.-For-
mer Governor Ralston, in his message
to the legislature. recommended a
change In the marriage law which
should do no injury to any one, except
marrying Justices" and might be eX-
pected to result in much good.
He suggests that no marriage license
shuold be granted except in the coun-
ty where the woman hes been a bona
fide resident for at least sixty days.
Each application for a license would
be accompanied by the affidavit Of a
householder certifying that the affiant
has actual knowledge that the woman
has been a resident of the county six
ty days. Severe penalties would be i'm
posed for making such affidavit
The effect of a law such as the gov
ernor proposes would be to put an end
to the hasty marriages and elopements
that so often eventually get into the
divorce court. The law would not in
terfere with those who wish to be mar
ried and have made plans after due de-
liberation.
