pefore the factory will become more attractive to the eye. ' Other manufacturing plants have taken steps toward beautifying their surroundings. The Simp-lex Railway Appliance Co. maintains a little lawn around its office, but doubtless more could be done to beautify the plant if the offipers were so inclined. 1 The Standard Steel Car Co. has done nothing toward making the city more beautiful. In fact it has detracted from the appearance of the city rather than

neipea it. The company tenement houses are ugly shacks and no attempt is made to lay out lawns and gardens around them. The idea may seem ridiculous to attempt to beautify

those tenement houses, but it is hard to tell what can be done until the ef

fort is made. It is certain that the

strip along Columbia avenue, from the

Nickel Plate tracks to the company

houses,- could be parked and maintain

ed at but little expense. It would set a splendid example to the foreigners in the district, many of whom are ac

customed in their native lands to beau

tifying their little cottages with lawns, vines and gardens.

John E. Fitzgerald showed consider

able public spirit in Dermittlno- the

Hammond Motor Boat club to build Its club house on the property he owned on the east side of Calumet avenue. He constructed a little bridge over the slip and the club members have made

some Improvements, but there is still Improvement and the motor boat club

could add another little heaiitv snot to

the city with a very little effort.

The Northern Indiana Gas & Electric

company has improved th appearance of the river front by dumping cinders

on the law land there, but it Is believed

that the company is encroaching on the

river and will have to move back when the river is dredged. The Simplex Rail

way Appliance company Is also Improve ing the river front by filling in the low

lands with cinders.

only included members in good stand Ing. Many Speeches Made.

Mayor Becker made an able defense

of his stand against annexation and was followed by a number of other representative business men. Mayor Becker's position Is substantially that which he takes In an RUthorid interview, which appears elsewhere la this paper. Attorney William J. Whlnery expressed the opinion that East Chicago could reduce Hammond's representation In the new council of the amalgamated cities to little or nothing. He was supported in his contention by Attorney George Sheerer. John Gavit expressed the opinion that the necessity for fighting alamgamatlon in the courts would tie up every public Improvement In the city un. til the supreme court had rendered a decision in the matter. John E. Fitzgerald opposed the propositlon from a business man's point of view. He thought the cities of the region should get together and decide the terms under which the proposed amalgamation should take place. To Hold Another Meeting. Others who spoke were George Locklln, Jacob Schloer, A. M. Turner, Roscoe E. "Woods and Tom Sigler. Mr. Turner took a very broad view of the matter and stated that he is'in fa'or of amalgamation as a. general proposition, but stated that he would probably sign the remonstrance. Woods was the only one who attempted to advance any arguments in favor of amalgamation, but from the frigid reception that they received it was apparpnt that he was in the wrong church and the wrong pew. He spoke on the suggestion of Mayor Becker that the representatives of the press ought to be heard from. President McGarry stated that the Hammond Business Men's .Association would probably hold another meeting, at which both sides of the . question would b presented, and Mayor Schlieker would be asked to present his side of the case. Late this afternoon President McGarry announced that he had appointed Attorneys Bomberger and Cravens to

act with the mayor in putting through the remonstrance.
