MAGIC GROWTH
OF CALUMET AVE.
IN TEN YEARS
Office Buildings, Depart
ment Stores, Banks.
Theatres and Hotels.
CFrom the Lake County Times, Oct.
70. 1880
BY HAROLD CROSS.


Calument avenue business men at
their weekly luncheon in the gold
room on the sixth floor of the In
diana hotel today passed a resolu-
ton urging the city to take steps
Immediately to annex the town of
Griffith.
Since the completion of the great
railroad terminal at Griffith and the
elevation of the railroads through
Hammond three years ago. there has
been a growing sentiment favoring
the annexation Of Griffith by Ham,
mond. Tho fact that Griffith, with
population of 1000. has aspira-
tions to become a metropolis in its
own right has been over-shadoweti
by the fear that It's industrial ex-
pansion will intrude upon the resi-
Dental suburbs of Hammond. 1t
was a noticeable fact at today s
meeting that some OF the Calume I
avenue business men who criticized
the city for its failure to annex
Griffith have costly homes in the
exclusive residential districts that
ade not far distant from Griffith's
booming Industrial territory.
GRIFFITH MAN SPEAKS.
]. x. Davis, president of the Crit
fifth chamber of commerce, was pres
ent and despite the almost unani-
nous opposition of the Calumet
business mems association, made a
spirited talk.
Before you gentlemen vote upon
this resolution 1 have few words
to say" he began. THE chamber
of commerce of Griffith does not
believe that the city of Hammond
is in good faith in desiring to an
mex our town. We would gladly
consent to annexation If 1t were not
for the fact that VIC are morally
certain that the first official action
of the city commissioners would be
to pass ordinances TO restrict our
industrial development.
There was a day when Hammond
welcomed Il new industry with open
arms There was day when you
men were not so careful about
where a new industry should be
built There was a time when you
didn't have smoke ordinances. In
fact you didn't gave q tinker's darn
how much smoke swept across your
homes.
When I came to Hammond in
1923-tgst ten years ago-it was cut
up by railroads and nobody ever
complained Of the smoke. The rail-
roads hadn't begun TO elevate then.
in fact some of you gentlemen didn't
think they ever would. and electri-
fication of the roads was thought to
be a pipe. dream.
Now, 1t seems that every resi-
dent of Hammond has the anti
smoke mania. Since the railroads
have been elevated and the electri-
flcations terminals established at
Griffith you are as fussy is my dear

ing to remind you Of few things
that you may have forgotten When
I came to Hammond ten years ago
Calumet avenue had Just started to
develop. There wasn't a five-sto
building on the street. I was told
that ten years before that, from
Carroll street south to Conkey ave
nue., the land on each side OF Calu-
met avenue was used to pasture
cows. This beautiful hotel had
never been dreamed Of In fact, If
you had told anybody In town in
1928 that the city would support
an eight-story million dollar hote
they would have laughed. Yet. as
you all know. hundreds Of tourists
passing to and from Chicago stop
at this hotel every week and hun
dreds of travelling men and others
having business in this region make
1t their headquarters. even remain
ing here over Sunday rather than
go to Chicago.
Ten years ago 1t was not thought
possible that this city would sup
port half million dollar legitimate
theater. Yet today. John Barry
more. Americas greatest actor, is
appearing in person at the Metro
politan theater, across the street
from this hotel. Who thought then
that Hammond could support a big
time vaudeville house such as the
Strand theater a block from here?
Are you satisfied because Calu-
met avenue is built solid with office
buildings. hotels. theaters, depart
ment stores, and smart shops from
the river to Conkey avenue? Are
you content to become reactionary
because you have the great pay roll
of the Jones & Laughlin steel mills
and the other industries of this re-
Eion? Aren't you going to let Gdif-
fifth have its chance to get factories
and grow?
GLAD To AMALGAMATE.
Why. I remember when you were
glad to amalgamate with the city
OF East Chicago and after that had
been accomplished to take in Whit
ing without any thought of restrict
ing their Industry. And here you
are today afraid of a little smoke
Gentlemen, you have an oppor-
tunity to become the largest city

opportunity-but we viii never con-
sent until you promise not to re-
strict our industrial development,
until you agree that If our Industry
requires it you will sacrifice some
of your residential suburbs.
II appreciate what your south
side residential district means to
you. From Standard avenue Ia
Dyer it is a series of parks. boule-
wards, Fairgrounds. schools and
beautiful homes. 1t is there that

will we willingly become annexed.
The business mems association
voted in favor of the resolution 10
annex Griffith but referred to COM
mittee the proposition that Griffith
be permitted to expand industrially.

acres of undeveloped land in the
