REEDS THESE llfftOVEHTS

Ba.rlsa; the Authority of the Hammond board o public works a, communication will be sent to the Lake county board of commissioners this -week calling for three much-needed And long-waited public Improvements that cannot be further delayed without endangering Ufa. restricting traffic and causing damage. These Improvement are: 1. The building of a bride over the Grand Calumet at the avenue of that name, to cost estimately $45,000. (Advocated by Tbi Tikes for years.) 8. The protecting of Calumet avenue across Lake George with riff-raff, a $25,000 Job. (First suggested by Thb Truss on September 25, 1913.) S. The paving of Summer street for three and a half miles east from Columbia avenue, to cost $60,000. (Indorsed first by Thb Times November 25. llt.) A Grand Tetal of 13MHM. Though the three improvements represent in the aggregate a fortune, they are absolutely necessary to the city of Hammond. The board of public work this morning pronounced

sentence of death on the shaky rusty, j untrustworthy, creaking, iron and wood bridge over .Calumet avenue.. Those who pass over it are in eternal fear of drowning, for It is widely known that the old trestle 1 tottering. The stringers are said to be pulling apart so that it seems but a matter of time till a touring steam roller and a wagon load of pig iron will meet on the bridge and sink to the bottom of the muddy Calumet.

The question came up in the route of business) as to the letting of contracts for the decoration with paint of the three bridges that span the Calumet. This

All confirmed hunters spent Thanksgiving in marsh and dell with dog and gun. Birds are rarer this season, howmr, . and the shooting yesterday was not phenomenal, only ordinary. During' the week many events have transpired In the fraternities of gun-, men. The Hammond Gun club banquet at Sharpshooters" park Tuesday evening was a stellar social event at which forty members and their wives attended. The feast was extraordl-. nary, consisting of venison steak and roast turkey. Lout In the Ma rub. While hunting ducks with Joe WI1cockson. the piano merchant, Martin Eeheer became lost in the Kankafcee marsh. He spent the time till midnight in knee deep icy waters. With every other step he fell sprawling. Martin has the advantage of being able to cuss in French, German and English. . But with all that at his command he says that he was unable to do Justice to the occasion.

one-sided struggle, the fans being held i

at a higb pitch of excitement during the entire contest. One of the most spectacular plays of the afternoon was a drop kick by Walter Hess in the Closing period. Hammond had possession of the ball on the thirty yard line near the side lines. Hess called for a drop kick and booting the pigskin between the poal posts as true as an arrow, caused the faas to go wild with excitement. His other drop kick was also a spectacular one. Hirsch loomed up prominently with his open field running as also did Mette who played a stellar game. The fans marvelled when Ewert, took the ball for big gains through Gary's line. Touchdowns were made by A. Hess,

HUNGARIAN PRAISES

U. S. HOUSING LAWS

Washington. D. C, Nov. 28. American laws to promote sanitary housing of laboring people are ideal, and if fully enforced would result in conditions unequaled in any other country, in the opinion of Dr. Bartholomew Nemeyi, who is here with a commission from the Hungarian government to investigate this subject. Dr. Nemeyi came to Washington after visiting Gary, Cleveland, Chicago. Pittsburg, Philadelphia and New York. He thinks tho slums in the United States are not as bad as those of Europe. "I saw what were supposed to be the worst in New York," he said today, "and could duplicate them In almost any European city. I think the worst I have 'seen are in Chicago, particularly those inhabited by the stoek yard i workers."
