opposition Of the chamber TO the con-

boosters for the road mostly Gary peo-
pie have decided TO withdraw thei, pet

The road was estimated TO cost S4eo,-

the county unit plan
The petition for the road was filed be-
fore the county commissioners 4 year

As far as the local situation is con-
cerncd things haven't looked brighter
for some time he says And in all
probability the pace has been set for a
real building program this year-one
that ought TO gain momentum from
this time on
As one OF the leading building ma
terial men Of this region his opinion
carries considerable weight. 1t is re-
ported that Chicago may yet this
sDring experience shortage of ma

in building throughout the city II
Chicago is to have such an experience

shortage The probable reason why
this shortage may come Is the Jam that

end when railroads begin TO move vast
amounts OF timber and materials Of

One way TO get around this possible
danger would be 10 start plans now,
