High northerly Calumet avenue, within the city limits of Hammond. i The purchasers will have possession of the land July 1, and will begin con struction soon after. The time within which the work of the building of the plant is started depends upon certain necessary municipal improvements by the city of Hammond, cencernlng which no trouble is anticipated. This purchase carries with it an obligation on the part of the vendors to complete the Indiana harbor ship canal from the south fork of Indiana avenue west of Wolf lake, dredging It to a width of 200 feet at the surface, 21 feet dwp and 84 feet wide at the bottom, this work having been under way for some time and will now be continued with renewed vigor. It is expected that it will take about two years to build the plant. The product of the plant will be similar to that of the Inland Steel company ' at In diana harbor. The works will be served by the New York Central, the Baltimore & Ohio, Pennsylvania, Chicago & North western railway, the Chicago, Milwau kee & St. Paul, Indiana Harbor Belt railway, Pere Marquette and Wabash, as well as other lines entering Chica go through the agency of the belt roads.
