Schwartz's privilege to be at the head

of two institutions that are trying to help along the young man who has

to work in the day time. And some splendid results have already been accomplished. The Gary Y. M. C. A. night college is open to the boys and men of the Calumet region whether they live in Lake or Porter counties or South Chicago. Through the" magnificent gift

of Judge Elbert H. Gary, chairman of

the steel corporation, night educational facilities that exist in no other industrial center in the country are to be had here. The foreigner who wants to learn English, the boy who hasn't had a chance to get much schooling, the apprentice who is anxious to learn drafting, the workman who desires to study theoretical questions, the clerk who wishes to acquire business law,

and the correspondence school student who wants the Intricacies of mathematic explained will do well to communicate with Prof. Schwartz. Tuition fees of the Gary Y. M. C.

HAMMOND'S PARK PROPERTY. Theflty of Hammond has six parks

inciuaing a -z acres, purchased at a cost of 92,0(W) and now estimated to be worth $268,000. This does not

include the 12 acres purchased for the purpose of sewerage terminals at a cost of $36,000, the two acres purchased for city yards purposes at a cost of $12,000 and the city hall property. These last mentioned purchases are not for park purposes. The following gives an idea of how Hammond has benefitted from the

purchase of real estate for park pur

poses:

Harrison park. 23 acres, cost $25,-

000, worth $125,00.0.

Lake Front Park, 5 acres, cost $13,000. worth $50,000. Douglas Park, 13 acres, cost $C,500, worth $20,000. East Side Park, 13 acres, cost $2C,000, worth $33,000. Central Park, 2 1-2 acres, cost $8,000. worth $20,000. Conkey Park, 5 acres, cost $13,500, worth $20,000. Totals, six parks. 72 .1-2 acres, cost $92,000. worth $268,000.

In addition to these, purchases

there have been half a dozen triangles and corners secured for city beautify

ing purposes.

Thus it is seen that Ulo city of Hammond has profited materially by

Its Investments in real estate. The

poorest investment of all, Douglas or "Pat's aPrk" as it came to be known.

lo worm today three times what It

cost.

Hardly one of these purchases were

made without encountering bitter op

position. The criticism' came from

the ultra-conservatives who are today still raising their voices against any and all improvements.

The school city has made purchases

which have Increased vastly in value. The site of the proposed manual

training school will be a park of

great beauty when it Is improved.

Now with all jofL this park property there is no", real organized effort to improve the ground and make the investment available for people. In fact Hammond's parks are being constructed in the most hap-hazzard way.

In the east side park there has been spread several acres of ground

over with cinders and thus made ugly

a place which was designed to be

green and beautiful.

Now the point is that the work of

planning the improvements in Ham

mond's quarter of a million of dollars worth of park property should be in

the hands of a landscape gardening

expert.

His services would be worth all

they cost. If he were hired to lay out every bit of city property that could

be used for park property and then

Supt. Fox was given the work of

carrying out his ideas the city would

soon be made a thing of beauty.

It is time that Hammond was fol

lowing the lead of the city of Gary,

having a park board and taking steps

to make available for the people the

six beautiful parks that the city has

luckily purchased at so low a figure

This board could also take up sys

tematically the matter of the pur

chase of other parks in the city so that Hammond can continue to bene

fit by the wise purchase of park

of Hammond as a flower city whose

sand wastes have 'been changed as if by magic, will" spread far and wide and for the man who balances all

acounts In dollars and cents there is

the satisfaction that property values

will be materially increased.

If the fullest possibilities of the

movement are realized Hammond will have an annual flower day on

which the city wll celebrate with a half holiday. Prizes will be awarded

to those submitting the choicest flow

ers for a contest, there will be public addresses and music, and with each

year the interest and enthusiasm will

grow until Hammond Flower Day will !

take on a very significant meaning.

"Mayor K. M. Woscsynskt, of W'est Hammond. Ignatius Mankowski, the clerk of the city and, the rest of the administration forces are to be congratulated on the complete clean-up they made of the old gang. Michael Modrsejewskl, the gang candidate for mayor, with the support of Rev. B. Nowakowski, got only 133 votes, or one-third as many as Woscsynskl. If the solemn statements of Mayor' K. M, Wosczynskl and Clerk Ignatius Mankowkskl are to be credited there is a sorry state of affairs. They charge that Rev. ,B. Nowakowski openly worked for the election of Michael ModrezeJewskl. It is known that at the last election he sought to bring about the election of his relative. Joseph Bilinski, for city attorney. But in spite of his attempt to influence the election the forces of reform won and now there Is the certainty that peace,' quiet and prosperity will prevail for at least another two years.".
