POLICE CHIEF WARNS

ORDIHANCEHilATORS Fire Department Must Not Be Interfered With in Making Runs. Two sections of the city ordinance of Hammond are being violated every day and whether the public knows it is violating these laws I do not know," said Chief Austgen this morning:, "and I wish Th Times would publish the following ordinances. violations of which have given us no small amount of annoyance and trouble:" Number 1463, Section 4. reads: Fire departments to have right of way along streets. Members of the fire department and vehicles and appliances driven or used by them and the police patrol and ambulance of the department of said city, shall have the right of way over all streets and al- " city ana tne same are not limited to speed while in the discharge of their duty, and it shall be unlawful for any person or persons, firm or corporation to willfully. carelessly or negligently -Interfere with or obstruct the members of said departments or any vehicle, device or appliance driven by them while in the discharge of their duty and it shall be unlawful for any person or persons, firm or corporation to fall, neglect or refuse to make a clear passage of any sidewalk, street, alley or public place in said city for the members of said department and vehicle and appliance used by them while in the discharge of their duty. Recently the No. 1 fire department received a call to the south part of Hammond and they made the run up to the Hohman and Nickel Plate tracks when a freight pulled up and instead of applying his brakes and backing his train, as he had Just started to cross Hohman street, the engineer pulled up his train and the department had to wait nearly 10 minutes before the train oi some 7a cars had passed by. This is only one case of a few that have been reported to the police and in many instances automobiles, wagons and other vehicles have blocked both the patrol and fire department. "Number 1464. Section 85 reads: Parade Nat To Be Interfered It shall be unlawful for any person or persons having charge of the same to drive any animal or more or propel or cause to be propelled any vehicle, engine or car so as to pass through or interfere with any civic, military or funeral procession. river Trips fojr hammond The excursion boat "Tourist" with a 250 passenger capacity, docked at the Hohman street bridge this afternoon.

THOUSANDS ATTRACTED BY BAND CONCERTS Thousands of people were in the business section of the city last Saturday night, attracted there by the popu lar band concerts which are provided by Kaulman and Wolf on Hohman street, and by the East State street merchants on State street. The Saturday night crowds are getting so large that extra precautions are needed to keep the highways upen for traffic, and Chief Austgen and the police commissioners are considering the advisability of adopting rules and regu lations with reference to autos that are lined up along the curb while the con certs are in progress. Accidents have been narrowly averted owing to the congestion, but as yet no plan has been formulated. a no autnonties are reluctant to adopt the rule existing in some cities, according to which machines are not permitted to stand in the business section, but they feel that some regulation is necessary, not only for Saturday night but for all the days of the week.
