MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP.

Mayor J. D. Smalley and Dr. W. F. Ilowat have both declared themselves in favor of municipal ownership. Smalley advocates municipal ownership of certain public utilities such as the water works (already municipally owned), the gas plant and the electric light plant of the city. He advocates it as soon as it is "practicable. He does not believe that an immediate attempt to take over the electric light plant or the building of a competing system at the present time is practicable. Mayor Smalley knows that every dollar the city can raise must be put into the extension of the present municipally owned-water works. ITe knows that even now with a valuation of close to twelve million dollars it would be absolutely impossible to build the million dollar water tunnel into the lake that would assure the city a pure

water supply and would make it possible to apply the pressure to the mains more nearty at the center of distribution. Onl' by such a system can the twin evils of the water works, needle ice and summer low pressure be remedied. Now if it takes every dollar of the city's money to extend the water works to meet the growing needs of the city, and if by the closest of financing it is impossible to build a modern intake, Mayor Smalley cannot see for the life of him how the, city can own and operate a a municipal electric light plant and keep it as modern as the needs of Hammond require. It will only be possible after while when the constitutional convention makes it possible for cities to increase their limit of indebtedness from two per cent to six or eight per cent. Until then Mayor Smalley does not feel like attempting to substitute the present excellent lighting service for service that would be no better than the present water works provides. "Without the authority of the state constitution to increase the bonded indebtedness of the citj' to at least eight per cent of the assessed valuation it is hard to see how Dr. Howat can make good on his municipal ownership lure and give us a municipally owned plant AT ONCE. In fact, this plank of his platform smacks of an appeal to the socialistic vote. But at the same time it is losing Howat the support of the conservative business men, who smile at the filmy promises of the doctor's most alluring platform. ;

Judge Lawrence Becker is a monomaniac on the subject of municipal ownership. Some time ago he encouraged an attempt to organize a local company for the purchase of power from the South Shore interurban and its distribution over the city. The project failed, GENTLE READER, because the men who proposed to go into the company happened to have guardians in the persons of their bankers, who all refused to encourage such a suicidal venture. So Becker wrote the municipal ownership plank in Howat 's platform, and smiles as he makes a campaign issue of a policy that would not be feasible for the next four years. Smalley knows that the people of Hammond are crying for small parks and playgrounds while the land is still cheap, they want streets opened while the cost is not prohibitive, municipal docks may be had now that would be worth a million dollars later, the cost of living must be continually attacked by the city market, Hammond must not forever be required to put up with a city hall that is a disgrace to the city. It is one thing to write a platform; another to carry it out. Advertisement. . .

The oiling of country roads goes merrilly on to the entire satisfaction

of everyone who has to use Lake County turn pikes to any extent. As a road preserver the oiling operation Is the

last word in that line and pays for itself many times over in the saving

of stone applications, always necessary at the end of ech season when oil is not used. It is only a question of time when every road in Iake County will be simlliarly treated and the saving to

the taxpayers will be of no consider

able amount. Nearly every stone turn

pike ln Center township has received fcs

its first oil application and the question

of benefit to the road and the comfort to travelers has never ben raised thus

far.
