LACK OF FUNDS
WORRIES CITY
Street Improvements May
Be Blocked.

Lack of funds for street resurfac-
ing work will face the city admins
tration next year, A. H. Moore, city
engineer, said today.
Steps to circumvent the barren
financial situation are to be taken
following a conference of the works
board, Moore. and heads of the
finance department..
In 1880, a 2-cent tax levy raised
$144,0S4 for the work, while next
year the levy is y cent, which will
bring in about $4,000.
Following more than ten months
work, only $23,538 remains in this
fund. In addition to the $4,000,
the city floated a $171 ,625 bond issue
early in 1880, of which all has been
expended but $16,560.
Among important projects COM
pleted are:
Delaware street, from Twenty-eighth to
Ihirtleth streets and from Fl Wayne to
MASSACHUSETTS, avenues; New York street
street, from Capitol avenue to Delaware
street; and the Delaware street bridge
approaches over Fall Greek.
Another improvement which NAV
be started this year is Emerson ave-
nue. from Washington street to the
Brookville road.

VOTING RESULT
st. Joseph County Demo-
Gratis May Unseat
Lake G. O. P.

M imcs SDeci0s
SOUTH BEND, Ind, Nov. TO-
Political observers of northern In
diana look to the powerful Demo-
cratic machine of st. Joseph county
to occupy the place in state politics
held before the party victory at the
polls Tuesday by the Republican
organization Of Lake county.
The reign Of the Lake county or
ganization, which centered about the
Office Of the county prosecutor with
its estimated salary Of 100000,
ended with the election of Demo-
Gratis.
For years the Calumet machine
has been a powerful factor in shap-
ing Republican policies at the capt.
tai. Recognized as one of the most
important units in the organization
behind Senator James E. Watson, its
reputation spread through the ma
ton in informed circles as the best
functioning unit of its kind.
Criminal Case Recalled
on more than one occasion the
activities Of important figures III the
machine embarrassed the senator
The last occasion was about year
ago, the indictment of 200 Calumet
residents, about half of them off,
cials or henchmen of the organiza-
ton and the other half gangsters
and racketeers. According to the
indictments, many of which resulted
in convictions, the operators of
liquor and vice resorts of the region
were paying through the nose for
protection
Gary, Hammond, and East Chi
cago have benefited by state appro-
priation Of funds for their arterial
highways. Other northern Indiana
counties have looked longingly at
the prominent position of Lake in
capital councils.
Benefits from State Funds
But the transfer of power from
the Republicans to the Democrats
does not lea northern Indiana
without a voice. The ST. Joseph
county machine which has so regu-
larly piled up pluralities for the
state tickets is expected to bear
about the same relation to the in
coming Democratic administration
as Lake county's did to the Repubh-
can.
Otto Fifeld, the present secretary
OF state, is from Crown Point, the
county seat of Lake county. His
successor, Frank Mayr, is a South
Bend resident.
Chester Montgomery, former
South Bend mayor and permanent
chairman of the last state Demo-
cratic convention; Rudolph Acker-
mann, South Bend city controller
and head of the st. Joseph county
machine, and William P. O'Neill,
Nishawaka, former Lieutenant-G Gov
ernor, are expected co extend their
dominance in the county to the
state councils.
