LAUNCH PLANS FOR REPAIR OF STREETS

CITY PREPARED TO SPEND CASH FROM VEHICLE TAXES.


Gang of Workmen Placed on Faulty Pavements--Board of Works Buys Asphalt Plant.

     With the placing of a repair gang on the streets and the purchase of an asphalt repair plant, action taken by the board of public works at a meeting to-day, the city started to spend the revenue derived from the new vehicle ordinance.  The money, which now amounts to about $10,000, will defray the expense of keeping the streets in repair.
     A gang of workmen was put at work on the brick pavements this week and faulty asphalt pavements will be given attention as soon as the new plant arrives.  The board of works decided to purchase a Hooke plant for $495.  Robert Hooke, city engineer of Chattanooga, Tenn., is the patantee of the apparatus and will sell the plant to the city.
     The board reached a decision in the matter after James Butler, city street commissioner, had submitted opinions of municipal authorities from various parts of the country.  The majority of them heartily endorsed the Hooke plant.
     The asphalt apparatus will arrive in the city next week.  The pavement gang is working on streets in Chapin park, but will be transferred to the asphalt streets when the new plant arrives.  The gang consists of seven men in charge of C. B. Scott, a veteran paving contractor.
     The board instructed Engineer William S. Moore to report on a sewer for South Bend avenue as soon as possible.  A resolution was adopted for the paving of Vassar avenue.  A plat of land between Jefferson boulevard and Washington avenue, extending east to Notre Dame street to Francis street was approved.

SECRECY IN COUNCIL MAY BE OVER SHORTLY

Indications Are Plan is to be Abandoned--Committee Meets.

     Iron clad secrecy in connection with the meetings of the committee of the whole of the common council may be a thing of the past within the next several weeks.  Indications are the council will be asked at its next meeting to suspend the rule, whereby the newspapers and public alike are denied the proceedings of the committee sessions.
     Councilmen themselves are divided on the question, and the abandonment of the policy may result.  Solons favoring the abolishment of the scheme argue the taxpayers are kept informed on the doings of the council and the committee and are able to attend meetings when matters of interest are scheduled.
     In spite of the desire for secrecy in connection with last night's meeting, word of the council committee's action was made known to-day.  Probably the most important matter up for discussion was the proposed investigation of the alleged excessive gas rate in South Bend.  City Attorney Iden S. Romig, who is in charge of the probe, met with the committee to discuss the matter.
     A proposition of the city park board to lease land for an extension of Howard park was also discussed.  Considerable opposition was offered by members of the council to the plan.
     A communication from Rabbi Abraham Cronbach, of Temple Beth-El, asking for the establishment of a municipal lodging house in the city was considered.  The matter will be taken up again by the council Monday night.

OUTING IS CALLED OFF.

Previous Engagements and Cool Weather Spoils Club Picnic.

New Manager Askin & Marine Credit Clothing Store.

     The question which has been asked daily for the past week "Who is Hartenstein?"  has been answered by Hartenstein himself, who states with an air of one who knows, that he is the new manager of the Askin & Marine credit clothing store at 213 South Michigan street. He comes from New Haven, Conn., and claims the distinction of being organizer of the first store doing business on the dollar-a-week payment plan, the first one having been established in New Haven 19 years ago.  He is placing a new stock here, reorganizing the store and its system and bringing everything up-to-date, much to the advantage of the buyer, who is now given the advantage of a charge account rather than a credit system, in the common acceptance of the term.  Mr. Hartenstein states that he is a member of several live organizations and besides being a hustler is backed by a wide experience in his line, which he proposes to use to the advantage of both his firm and the buying public.

Fined on Two Charges.

    Joseph Smogor and Thomas Grzekorek were fined $15 each before the city court to-day on charges of malicious trespass and assault and battery.  Albert Wass, a companion, escaped punishment.  They were accused of annoying a peddler.
