BIG LEVEE LITIGATION
Attorneys from all over Lake and Jasper counties are in Hammond today representing litigants in tho matter of the Brown levee No. 3. An effort is being made to strengthen the levee and this is being opposed by a num ber of land owners, who either think their assessments are too high or who believe that the building of the levee on one side of the river will Inundate the land on the other. Attorney Fattee of Crown Foint is representing the Northern Indiana Truck Farm company in its opposition to an assessment of $1,000. Attorney IX E. Boone of Hammond is repre senting remonstrators in Lowell anl vicinity. Judge Nye and Attorney Davis are representing .the Wabash Valley rail road and the Indiana Land company is being represented by S. C. Hubbell and Senator Sam Halleck of Rensselaer.

I S. REITER HAKES PtE FOR GRA The special meeting of the Hammond city council last Saturday evening re sulted in a large attendance of buisness men and owners of real estate who were anxious to see the franchise pass. One of the best talks of the even ing was made by Judge Virgil S. Reiter, president of the Hammond Chamber of Commerce, who showed how every city in the region has taken steps to encour age interurban development. He said that in the past twelve years of the history of the city of Ham mond its citizens had seen two cities founded the aggregate population of which is twice that of Hammond. He -aid that much of their growth was due to a more progressive policy than that which has been adopted in Hammond. Judge Reiter told how the merchants of Hammond, in order to maintain the prestige of the city as the business center of the region, had been com pelled to buy automobile busses to take care of the demands of people in the country districts for transportation to Hammond. Judge Reiter was of the oplnoin that Hammond would lose its prestige as the most substantial city of the region if it did not take steps to increase the population in Its 5-cent fare limits. C. P. Schoon of Munster was present
