EYE WITNESS FOUND TO Staying OF PASTOR and CHORISTEI
Start Razing
Landmark

Workmen started today on the JOB
of wrecking the old Main restaurant
building and Central Block on Hoh-
man street. between State street and
Plummer avenue, to make way for
the new building which is to be err
ected by Bereolos Brothers.
The alley between the two pres
ent buildings has been vacated and
| the new structure will present an
unbroken front The front is to be
set back eighteen feet from the
present building line in order to pro-
vide for the future widening of Hoh-
! man street. At the same time the
plans provide for a cutoff corner
similar to the present front OF the
Central block building.
This will also be set back fourteen
fet from the present front. This
Will permit the construction of a
street shortcut from Holman street
to Plummer avenue without cross
ing the Monon tracks. as is now nee
essary. 4 pavement Will be laid
ALONGSIDE the tracks in front Of the
building.
The builders are still waiting for
the board OF works to decide wheth-
er the offer to build public comfort
station in the basement will be ac-
cepted.
Mr.. WINERY. who presented the
city does not want the station the
plans can easily be changed TO elm
mate it. He explains that the rate
of s24o a month fer a ten-year per-
iod was made after a careful esti-
mate OF the expense and rental val
ue OF the property. The owners Of
the building would provide heat and
janitor service. The city would
provide the light. towels etc.
The installation would be too ex-
pensive.' says Mr.. Winery, be
cause only the best of plumbing
could be used in order to prevent the
station becoming obnoxious TO other
occupants of the building. imag-
inc the 5anitor would have to spend
at least four hours a day in keeping
the place clean. The rental viii
barely pay five per cent. on the in
vestment.
Hammond people agree that tie
city should have al least one pub
lie comfort station near the four
corners. The matter has been talk
ed of for years but whenever the
city looked around for a location
prohioitive costs OF property have
been en- countered. There had been
talk Of condemniuc- fhe trianofe
property at the northeast corner of
State and Holman street but it is
certain that this could not be obtain
ed for less than $4,000. 1t Is now
said to be the most profitable piece
of land in the business district.
If the Bereolas Brothers are will
ling to have the comfort station in
their building. let them build it,"
said one building owner. We need
a station down town but I wouldn't
let them have il in my building If
they offered me $500 a month"

HAMMONDS FIRM ATTITUDE
APPROVED BY TAXPAYERS

The refusal of the legal depart

drop out Of the Standard OIL Co.
Bunnell suit involving title to 40
feet OF Fayette st. frontage and 81
feet along Russell st. from Holman
st. to Oakley ave. is meeting with
widespread approval.
Expressions from taxpayers in
all pats Of the city endorse the
stand OF the legal department that
restitution should be made of land
belonging to the people but illeg-
ally held by private owners.
1t is pointed out that there are
houses on State Line st. that stand
on city property. Rhode ave. prop
