10 TREASURY

FOR TAXES

(Special to The Times.) Crown Point. Ind., May IS. Lake county taxpayers paid Into th county treasury within a few thousands of a million and a half-dollars in county taxes this sprint?, this amount exceeding: by nearly $400,000 the amount collected last year, and does not include th overdue taxes which are now on the delinquent list. As fas as the money came In it was divided among the twenty-three banks which are depositaries for the county treasury, and the distribution- of money into so many hands was In itself no small task. In the county treasurer's office the worries of the taxpaylng season are a thing of the past for this spring, the lat receipt having been sent out on Tuesday night of this week, an unusual record for promptness and efficiency, when the stupendousnesg of the task is taken into consideration. Shannon Mane Oood. Tills record appears all the more remarkable when . It "is remembered that some of the city treasuries, with less work, are not yet seeing daylight, ow

ing to the stacks of letters asking for receipts. County Treasurer "Cully" Swanson, who has been in office only since the first of the year, proved to b an adtpt In learning the intricacies of the office, and the manner In which he conducted the office bas given universal satisfaction. In his deputy, Ralph B. Bradford, formerly of Hammond, he has an expert who gained his knowledge under former Treasurer Albert Maack. Mr. Bradford's knowledge and experience In the office proved to be a big asset to the new county treasurer and was a big factor In making this year's record for promptness and efficiency In the office, and the taxpayers throughout the county are highly pleased with this department of the county administration. Between now and the first of June the county will sell in the neighborhood of $230,000 worth of bonds on the poor farm and gravel roads, and this amount together with the taxes collected will bring the amount of money In the county treasurer's office far beyond the one and a half million dollar mark.

the different roads near the plant are already laid.

WORK ON ANOTHER AMUSEMENT PARK The Amusement Contractors company of Chicago, that recently leased several acres of river front from the Earles for an amusement park, have organized a local company with a capital stock of $25,000 and are now engaged in selling stock among our citizens. Mr. Samuel says construction work will begin next week and that he hopes to have the park ready for opening In about four weeks. The grounds will be cleared and placed in attractive manner. The two principal amusement features for a starter will be an enclosed

merry-go-round and a figure eight, the latter Costing about t7.500. As an Investment, the amusement pnrk stock pays good dividends. The one at Valpo last year paid 8 per cent, and all must admit that the Hobart proposition seems better, for thert are more people near at hand, to patronize. Hobart Gazette.

JUDGE REFUSES TO ISSUE INJUNCTION

(Continued from column S, page 1.)

termine whether or not the exhibition tonight Is a boxing contest or a prizefight.

The court stated that he had no right to enjoin the police from making arrests In this case any more than he did in any . other unless It could be shown that there was a conspiracy on their part to maliciously interfere with this fight. No such conspiracy was shown. So me probabilities are 'that the people will not be molested when they assemble in the hall, that the contests will be permitted to proceed so long as the contestants remain within the law. The decision of Special Judge Lotz does not have any material affect on the situation. Matters remain about as they were before the Injunction proceedings were started. McCormick was represented by

Abraham Ottenheimer- of Bast Chicago and the East Chicago Amusement Association was represented by Joseph Conroy of Hammond and Attorney Everett of East Chicago. ;

GARY POLICE BOARD TO GET BUSY

(Continued from column 7, page 1.)

"After making this decision we took the matter up wHth Mayor Knotts and he said that everything Is up to the safety board." So, this would indicate that promoters who saw hopes for the revival of the Toleston arena will now witness them being dashed against the

rocks. One promoter says , that the main trouble is due to too many promoters getting into the game. Six Promoters la Field. So far at least half a dozen syndicates are trying to break Into the prizefight, game in Gary. Sam Sax and Barney Green head one. the Nlckle Plate Club. Johnny Hamilton, George Cochoraa and Doc Message of Chicago, and James Sullivan, who is promoting the South Bend scraps, are among those who would give Gary exhibitions ot the manly art. Sax has the control of the Tolleston arena, which is plastered down with liens. It is understod that he is about to transfer his business to Barney Green. Green already has a couple of scrappers signed up.

This is the age of . co-operation and the manufacturers correctly believe that the best way to market and introduce their product is to spend the advertising money in making special offers to the people rather than employing world-famous demonstrators at fabulous expense and making the people ayfor such methods by asking a heavy price for the piano. 1 Contest Closes 7ay 27th, 1912, sit 6 p.m. Mail or bring all answers to our special factory representative, care of the STEPHEN M.
