who gave his name and age, respec

tempted to commit. suicide last night by shooting? himself In the back of the head with a revolver, After having
been given first .id at Dr. Sauer's
of flee, the man was rushed to St. Mar
garet's hospital in Burns & McGwan's
ambulance.
Bower was very reticent about his
antecedents, saying only that he was
too old to live. He told the people at Indiana Harbor last night that he
lived in South Chicago, and that he has a sister, Mrs. Emma Ilokevicz, living
In Milwaukee.
Bower was found near a pile of ties
near the Lake Shore railroad depot. He
had used a 32-caliber revolver and was
apparently sorry that he did not accom
plish his object.
At the hospital today it was stated
that he had good chances to recover,
but there, too, he refused to give any
information about himself. He did ad
mit that he had no family, and said that his home was in Chicago. He refused, however, to give his address to
the sisters.

Members of the finance committee of Gary city council last night recommended that city levy be placed at $1.61 for the ensuing year, as outlined in the above schedule. Accordingly a motion was passed that the city attornay draw up an ordinance fixing this as the official' levy. The funds thus derived, plus the license money, will be expected to be enough to operate the city government for twelve months. Expressed in dollars and cents, this levy upon the assessed valuation of $11,827,465 amounts to $201,610.79. The city will also derive revenue
from the saloon licenses, dog licenses
and other sources.

Total 4,745 While the rate seems abnormally high. Mayor Schlieker pointed out that the valuation of rrpei'ty in East Chicago was correspondingly low as ,oompared with that of the property in adjacent cities. The city he explained, was under far greater expense than in the past, and he enumerated the following sources of increased expense.
which accounted for the Increased rate.
In the first place the city under a
new state law is obliged to pay for the
improvement of street intersections.
These alone in East Chicago and In-'
diana Harbor amount this year to $20,-
000. In the past the owners of adjacent property have born the expense of this. Another important Item mentioned was the fire department, which has within the past year been changed
from a volunteer to a paid department
and costs the city $la,000 for its main
tenance.
Other things mentioned as a reason for the necessity of Increased rev
enues lnciuaea tne new public ouua-
lngs in connection with which was noted the taking up of $6,000 in warrants against the city hall; the increased expense incident to the enlarged police force which amounts to $5,000 for the year. The increased number of electric lights which have been raised from 62 to 121. and of the fire hydrants which have been raised frc 154 to 262.
The assessed valuation of the proper
ty of East Chicago and Indiana Har
bor is $5,S06,2S5, after deducting $101, i
