Public Usl4ty Ordinances.
An ordinance was introduced TO re-
reai the ordinance adopted few
months ago 10 compel the East Chicago
and Indiana Harbor Water go. % give
notice al The city clerks office before
shutting of service for any reason and
80 refrain from digging up any street
ur parkway without first getting a per-
iait from The board Of WORKS.
The ordinance TO repeal, however did
ros go through. Explanation was made
That the intent Of the repeal, ordinance
was to release tine water company from
some or the pressure which they had
been subjected 10 ia the recent cam
raicn for pure water; that they were
roirg ahead RAPIDLY with the construc-
tton of the filtration plant and We're en-
titled to assistance now rather than

14-th Street Boulevard.
an ordinance WAS introduced to make
tf5th st A boulevard from which all
heavy traffic would be excluded. "
ms said that this street was not built
for heavy traffic and that il would soon
go to pieces under The strain Of the
heavily loaded trucks that traverse liz
daily Il was argued. however. that
thss street is really the only street that
sTords any decent route TO Hammond
and to close ii to trucks would work 2
heavy handicap on those engaged IN
transportation by truck service.
IF Hammond would only hN up her
end Of Chicago avenue or t4Sth st.
said one. we would have . shorter
route to Hammond and could preserve
145th st as part Of the boulevard
system across Lake George TO Chicago
But until Hammond does something. We
must pound out our only available
boulevard with heavy truck service.
The ordinance was accordingly killed
