said to have ' begun when the mayor attempted to appoint Attorney Perry Patterson of Chicago as corporation counsel. This aroused the newlyeiected city attorney, Jacob Katz, who lives in West Hammond, although he haa a Chicago office, and he at one informed the mayor that there was no ned of a corporation counsel, as he was quite able to handle the legal affairs of the city. However, the mayor appointed Patterson, and Katz then declared Patterson ineligible, because he resided in Chicago, and after he had taken it to the state's attorney of Cook county, Patterson is said to have resigned and was immediately appointed special assessment attorney. Appropriation Contested.

Kate contended that the law did noCl

provide for such a position, and, when '

an appropriation was made, including 1 1,000 to be paid to Patterson, Kats brought action to prevent the payment. One decision was given against

him and he apepaled to the appellate ' court. Katz claimed that it was un- i

fair because he as city attorney was '

only receiving $300 per annum, and !

further that Mayor Woszczynskl and

his friends were attempting to clear

away their obligations to Patterson

for his services as their representative during the troublous times of the last two years ov more.

Threats and counter threats are be

ing made and hints of criminal proceedings are dropped by varrous individuals. - Consequently open -ruction Is expected by many West Hammond

citizens In a very short time.

' Big things are contemplated by the

educational department of the Gary Y.

In addition to the night college which

is open to any one in Lake and Porter counties and which Is practically made a home Institution by reason of the rapid increase of interurban facilities

They insist that the city is not of the Sodom and Gomorrah type that has been claimed, but is as moral and decent a community as exists in the state, and always has been. One faction blames the mayor and his supporters, who called their ticket a reform ticket and hid behind the skirts of Virginia Brooks, fend It was heralded abroad that West Hammond was enjoying a reformation.
