(Special to Tub Times.) Indiana Harbor, April 14. The Com
mercial Club of Indiana Harbor and East Chicago is goig to puts Its finger
Into the amalgamation pie.
At a director's meeting on Saturday,
I the question was discussed and it has
Deen aecioea to have the matter
brought up at the- next resular meet
ing which will be held on Wednesday
evening.
The plan now is to have the club
appoint a committee of the wisest heads
to meet similar committees of business men from Hammond and from Whiting
to discuss the amalgamation problem in
a sane and business like way. The ob
ject is to arrive at an understanding
that will result in the effecting of
amalgamation In such a manner, as to
prejudice none.
Whether this plan goes through re
mains to be seen, but there seems no doubt that the club will deem it wise
to take up the matter as an organization, using its influence to promote a
plan which seems bound to be the
ultimate solution . of the Calumet
region's municipal problem. A number of prominent members of the club are deeply interested in the project and are desirous of bringing the matter to a

Attorney Clyde Hunter was appointed deputy prosecutor in Gary by Prose, cuting Attorney .' Charles Greenwald Saturday afternoon," to succeed W. F. Hodges, who resigned from that position last week. Hunter was sworn in
Saturday afternoon and will begin his new duties this morning. The -only other- candidate for .the place was attorney. Joseph Gillis, who also has been active in attempting to secure the office. The appointment of Hunter, however, seems to give general satisfaction because of his untiring activity for the republican party during the three years that he has been in the c'v. Hunter's appointment was not a surprise, because he had been by far the
