' Mr. Schaaf realizes that while poli ticians are trying to impress the people of the district in which the' travel they are' also receiving impresslsV of the district wnich may do it 'a' great deal of good In the future. '-'--'" For instance Mr. Schaaf Is bringing all of the congressmen he can get hold cf into this region and he will-- show them the resources of Hammond, Gary, Vhlting, East Chicago and ' Indiana Harbor so that when Edgar Dean Crumpacker, our worthy representative, tries to get more concessions- for the region he 'will have the co-operation of their neighboring congressmen who will easily see that the claims for this re gion are not exaggerated. ' . Gets Hurt on To Come. One of the best things that Mr. Schaaf has been able to do so far is to secure the presence of Congressman Theodore Burton, chairman of the' rivers and habors committee of congress, who wri go to Indiana Harbor on the nine teenth of this month to take part in the Ifemenway meeting. ' ' : ' If the people of Indiana Harbor are as wide awake as everybody gives them crAliS for being they will throw aside political : preferences and show Con gressman Theodore Burton and Senator Hemenway the times of their lives just for the benefit it will he to the town.' ' - Both of these men are powers in the legislative bodies ' In whlch"they- sit and if Indiana Harbor Is successful in impressing on their minds the importance' of that city, industrially, commercially and as an Indiana lake port It will' make it' easier to secure concessions from congress In the future. Other Leaders Coming. ; In addition to Theodore Burton there will be Congressman P. T. Colgrove from Michigan, Congressman .Walter Smith from Iowa, and "our own Congressman, Edgar Dean Crumpacker, who has done wonders for the region In the past and is" in a position to do "more in the future for this district than any other man who co.uld be elected. - ' This plan of Schaaf's to Interest the republican' congressmen in this' district in the region's future will meet with the approval of business men of all parties- - - : - - - MAY GET A PATEOL WAGON. (Continued from pace one.) the force, and provision for a least two more have ben made In our estimate tonight. When that time arrives, we also hope to" be able't'd provide" you with the necessary vehicle, since the city barn will then be' completed and there will be room" In it for your horses." The appropriations for the various departments were again gone over by the' assembled cd'uncllmen, and It was found that they 'had been cut to the bone. They were adopted in a resolu tion endorsed by "Hie finance committee, there ' bein gnod IssntettF;dapnlgoint there being no dissenting vote by the assembled councilmen. , : Controller's Report Rend. . The city controller's report for the month of August was 'read in the beginning of the session and referred to the finance committee. A resolution formally recommended by the city controller was adopted, glv ing the Paid Firemen's Benefit assoclatlon $100." , Several new ordinances were also in troduced under suspension of the rules. The various theater "managers in the city, having learned that the license oh theatres is about to be raised, busied themselves to get in under the old, which provides for" a license of $25. The new license ' provides for $150. Mayor Becker, however, put the "kibosh" on such activity by introduc Ing an ordinance repealing the old II cense ordinance and applicants must now wait until the new one goes into effect. fv Dr. Weis Rosy Attain. Dr. W. D. Weis, secretary of the board of health was instrumental in getting an ordinance through which is more stringent than the state law, rel ative to the sale of fruit from stands or by peddlers.

WHIST CLUB 10 TRAVEL Hammond Organization is

to Be Entertained at Gary. Twenty members of the X. P. Whist club, one of ' the most prominent social organization of Hammond, will go to Gary Friday afternoon where they will have their regular meeting in the Gary hotel, where luncheon will be served to them by Proprietor George CDonnel. Yesterday Mr. E. F. -Johnston , one of the members of the club and well known in Gary, m.-ule the arrangements for the trip and the dinner at the hotel.

' A fuH attendance of the club Is assured, as all' are anxious' to see the city of Gary and take ad vantage of the splendid dinner and serv'ce at the Gary hotel PLANS A MATING RINK Floyd Herron, Manager of Colonial, Will Convert Off ce Building. Before the season "Is much .farther advanced, the young blood of" Hammond ' may enjoy the pleasure of an up-to-date skating rink, providing the plans of the promoters are carried and the city fathers will lend a helping hand to clean sport by reducing-the license for a skating rink. The new rink is being promoted by Floyd Herron, a Hammond boy, who is at the head of the Colonial theater, and arrangements are heing made to fix-up the former G." II. Hammond office. Mr. Herron may 'possibly " take another young man in partnership with him In the venture. ' Would Make Good Rink. The proposed skating rink would be located in an Ideal place; large enough to accommodate big crowds and far enough away from residences so as not to be an annoyance. - The venture will 'be through, provided the license is reduced. Recently a new license ordinance has ' been passed requiring a license of $2 a day from a skating rink. Such a sum would be prohibitive and especially if the thing is to be permanent.1 It was discussed at the council meeting last night and It was the sentiment of the council that a skating rink properly conducted -is a desirable sport in a city and" that the license for a permanent rink' should be lowered. '' ' : -.:. , The decent management of the Colon ial theater is an Indication of what sort of "rink Mr. Herron' would manage, arid Hammond people would gladly welcome' the pleasure irf Its cfty.
