walk on Massachusetts street that the man had no claim for damages for personal injuries sustained by the fall. Wants a Rattler. City Engineer Melton then statecTthat he wanted a rattler for a Christmas present 'to the engineer's department. This rattler, however, was neither a snake, nor a plaything, but a device for the testing of brick used In paving the streets of the city. The brick is placed

I In the rattler and ground and jolted about and if the brick withstands the pressure and shows proper adhesion, it is sufficient proof that the brick will withstand the . wear of street traffic. This is a standard device employed for the purpose of ascertaining the quality of brick and whether or not it measures up to the standard ordered by the city. The rattler was ordered purchased by the city council at a cost of $145.60 and J85 for the motor, but it is believed that it will ' pay for itself In a short time. The apparatus will be installed in the Emerson school building as soon as it Is purchased. The proper current for the motor can be secured there. . Improve Massachusetts Street. A resolution was introduced by Councilman Siamia6ko ordering the city engineer to draw up plans and specifications for the Improvement of Massachusetts' street from the Michigan Cen. tral tracks to the Pennsylvania and the resolution was passed. The city treasurer requested that the council transfer the sum of $10,621 from the special police and flre equipment fund to the general fund and after the transfer -was made, $9,124.68 of this amount was appropriated for the purpose of paying- the amount of delinquent assessments which were owing on bonds Issued by the city. When the amount' of these assessments are collected from the property owners it will be refunded to the city together with the 10 per cent penalty for the delay. -The city treasurer also engineered the passage of an ordinance In which" $45,000 was borrowed on' bonds for the purpose of paying outstanding warrants of various amounts, the payment of which would be facilitated by the floating bonds. There will be three bonds issued for $15,000 each, made payable" in two, four and six months respectively. - . To Meet Monday. . A resolution providing for the rules and regulations by which the present council shall be governed was introduced by Councilman Feuer and passed. The only important detail of the rules was the naming of Monday night as the night, upon which the meetings of the council were to be held. Another important matter which came before the council, was the matter . of ordinances passed by the old town board and about which there was some question as , to their legality. Two of these ordinances, the building and the plumbing ordinance, were passed by the town board when they had no jurisdiction In the matter, and the law, that all ordinances passed by the town board will be In effect when the town becomes a city, does not hold good In this case. It is also said that this might effect the billboard ordinance. A committee of three consisting of Councilmen Feuer, Castleman and Rowley, were therefore appointed to go over the ordinances to ascertain which of them it will be necessary to repass and report at the next meeting.

Councilman Feuer Espouses Cause of Boys and Girls and Field Will Be Flooded at City's lExpense, for the Purpose. Councilman William S. Feuer last night espoused the cause of the school boys and girls of Gary and secured the consent of the common council to go ahead with a scheme for the establishment of a skating rink within a short distance of the business center of the city if the land can be found. Mr. Feuer's plan is to plow up a rampart of dirt around an enclosure of two or three acres, in which aflood of wat er to a depth of two or three inches could be turned and in a few days the children and young men and women of the city would have a fine place for the outdoor recreation. , This is what is known as the Cleveland Idea, and Mr. Feuer says that H has' been worked successfully in that city, but one of the skeptical councilmen suggested that most anything could be worked successfully in Cleveland. Most of the council, remembering that they were bo3's once themselves, took up the idea and appointed Mr. Feuer a committee of one to investigate the matter and take the necessary steps. Although many well meaning persons scouted the Idea of making an outdoor skating rink for $15 or $25, Mr. Feuer just said, "Leaye It to me," and the council did. It is planned, providing the ramparts hold and the place Is flooded and the water freezes, to have one of the street cleaners keep the place in skating condition as long as the cold weather lasts.

HOW MUGH DO HEALTH ' OFFICERS DESERVE Question of Fixing Salaries Starts Considerable Discussion in Gary Council.

GUY TO HAVE PEST HOUSE Board Instructed to Go Ahead and Secure Building Suitable for the Purpose. The members of the newly appointed board of health in Gary, of which Dr. W. S. Faulss is president and Harry F. Wlash, secretary, put the salary propo sition before the council last night to. establish about what they think they are entitled to for their services. The secretary has been paid"$600 a year, but the salaries of the other two men have not yet been established. Upon the reading of the communication. Councilman Bowser moved that $100 per year be allowed them, but this provoked considerable controversy and the final decision was to let the matter rest until a committee would be able to Investigate It and report. Mayor Knotts surrendered the chair to Castlemen for a few moments until he could explain to the council how Important the work was. He told them that one epidemic in the city would cost them more than the salaries of the board for twenty years, and how neces sary it was to prevent a contagious disease spreading in the city. He also spoke about the labor required to in spect the restaurants, bakeries, hotels, meat markets and candy kitchens to see that they are clean, and to trace down the origin of diseases, all of which requires considerable work. He pleaded with the council to give the matter deeper thought, and the result was the appointment of a committee to investigate. The health board also applied for an appropriation for the construction of a small pest house in this city which they think is something that the city ought to be provided with. This the council agreed to and ordered them jto go ahead and secure one. CLERKS ASSN.

COUNTY POLITICS IS HUMMING Contlnued from Page On.) trict, Sam Love will likely not stand for re-election, although his friends still hope to pursuade him to do so. In case he does not run, Joseph Beattie of Willowdale farm would like the placa on the ticket, and several others are Inquiring around as to what their chances would be. Dr. Shanklln will be a candidate for re-election as coroner, and though Does does not commence his first term till Jan. 1, his service ' as deputy coroner and acting coroner has convinced the. people that he is good for a second term, "he democrats will probably have to draft a man to oppose him.
