ANTIPOLLUTION ORDER COST SET AT $3,000,000
Four Cities in Lake County Seek Ways to Raise Needed Funds.
Officials of four Lake County cities today sought means of raising between five to six million dollars—an amount they estimate is necessary if they are to comply with a State order forbiding pellution in the Calumet District after Jan. 1, 1939. In an order issued three weeks ago, the State Department of Commerce and Industry charged Gary, Hammond, Whiting and East Chicago with contaminating Lake Michigan, the Grand and Little Calumet Rivers and the Indiana Harbor Ship Canal.
Following a closed meeting here yesterday, W. H. Frazier, Stream Pollution Board Secretary and Assistant State Health Director, said financing needed additions to sewage disposal plants presented the chief problem.
Bonding Districts Proposed
Officials from Hammond, Gary and East Chicago said they planned to ask their City Council to pass ordinances establishing sanitary bonding districts. Under a State law, such districts in second-class cities have the right to issue bonds up to 2 per cent of the total property valuation within the city’s limits. Whiting, a fourth-class city, cannot take advantage of this law, but since it has not yet issued bonds up to its constitutional limit, can float additional loans, it was said. Headed by Mayor Frank Martin, the Hammond delegation filed a report at yesterday's conference showing why it was unable to comply immediately with the State order. Federal Funds Refused
Mayor Martin said a request for public Works Administration funds, filed by the City several months ago, had been refused in Washington, but the city is to ask for reconsideration of this project.
“The cost of rectifying the pollution should not fall solely on the home owners, but industries in or near Hammond also should bear a portion of the cost,” the report said. Similar policies were expressed by other delegation leaders. Mr. Frazier said no figures were available immediately on the individual cost to each city of making sanitary plant improvements.
In addition to Mayor Martin, Hamngnd was represented by City Attorney Harry Stilley. Other officials who attended the conference included: Mayor Andrew Rooney, City Engineer Z. B. Campbell, City Attorney Nick Stepanovick and Common Councilman Robert Watson of East Chicago; Mayor Barney Clayton and City Controller Ray Madden, Gary; Mayor James McNamara and City Attorney James McCarthy, Whiting.
Authority of the State Stream Pollution Board to order cleanup of water contamination and validity of the 1935 Antipollution Act were upheld last week by the Blackford County Circuit Court in the case against Hartford City.

TEarope Will Escape War, Col. Lieber Thinks After 3-Months Visit Abroad
Talk of Peace Is Heard On Every Hand, He Says.
Col. Richard Lieber, National Association of State Parks president, was back at his desk today after his 23d trip to Europe, with a prediction that “there will be no war in Europe.”
“There are marching men and|
everywhere there is preparedness for war,” said Col. Lieber, “but everywhere there also is talk of peace. No one over there wants war.” : He arrived with Mrs. Lieber and their granddaughter, Miss Elizabeth Joan Lieber, after a threemonth tour which took them to England, Holland, Belgium, France, Switzerland and Germany. “I was born in the Saar,” Col. Lieber said, “and this was the first time I had been back there since I left before being of voting age. I have to smile at the irony of history because the frontier of that strip, despite all the bloodshed, is in exactly. the same spot as when I left 57 years ago.” “Fool Americans” in Spain Speaking of what apparently looks like war preparation, Col. Lieber said that Spain is the “trying grounds” for nations to use their latest war equipment. “What nations are doing that in Spain?” he was asked. “The Soviet and Fascist nations,” replied Col. Lieber, “some French and of course some fool Americans.” He declared that Germany, under a dictator, is “ruthlessly, but -cleverly handled. Like all other countries Germany has increased its bureaucracies.” He added that all organizations from those for children up to the army are to train, to push forward and to mass strength. Col. Lieber said that wages in Germany are not as high as here, that money is “artificial” but that wages regulate prices every week. He said European countries have not developed state parks as this country has, but that there now is in England and Germany especially an emphasized movement to better public recreation, facilities and service. Col. Lieber said that perhaps the reason those two countries do not have large parks is because of the density of population and need eof the ground for crops.
Amazed by Drivers
Col. Lieber spent part of his boyhood in England and said he recently “spent four weeks in London because I think in continuity it shows the entire story of culture and civilization.” The traffic safety there amazed him, “An Englishman,” he said, “takes his best parlor manners with him when he gets in back of the wheel of his automobile. The courtesy on the streets amazed me. There is no tooting of horns and, of course, it is against the law to toot a horn after 11 o'clock at night. “But despite ‘all the kicking Americans do about their country,” Col. Lieber said, “they ought to be darn glad to live here.”

JENNINGS PRAISES WPA SAFETY MARK
Normal, He Says.
Indiana WPA safety measures today were credited by State WPA Administrator John XK. Jennings with lowering the fatal and losttime accident record below the normal expectancy for the last two years.
Department of Labor’s estimate in 1935 that in 12 months there would be 85 fatal and 14,000 lost-time accidents on state relief projects, there have been in the last two years only 46 fatalities and 2525 lost-time accidents.
