Gary head?- the list with v 1,12 7,40, with Whiting second, with $1,053.93. and Indianapolis third with $908.45. Rensselaer stands ahead of South Bend, Logansport, Laporte, Goshen, Delphi, Rochester, Elkhart, Kentland, Columbia City, Wabash, Huntington, Crown Point, Attica, Valparaiso, Winamac, Knox, and scores of other cities and towns in this respect.
