As two members Of the Hammond Chamber of Commence committee assigned to investigate the waterworks system and propose a remedy which would permently relieve the distress of residents In districts affected by shortage of supply during 6he hot months and the stresis of West Hammond whose supply the famine sufferers have threatened to cut off. Mayor John Smalley and C. M. Jew

ett, commissioner, are committed to a program which includes the abolition

of the flat rate and the universal In

stallation of meters. I

The cornmitee which had six meetings, one of which was attended by ! the board of works and the city attorney of Hammrmd and the other!

by the mayor and a committee representing the citizens of West Hammond and others with representative bodies of the two cities, reports favoring adoption of the meter system. The report of the committee at read by Attorney I 1 Bomberger, one of the members and adopted by the board of directors of the Hammond Chamber of Commerce reviews the situation and offer a remedy. In part the report follows: "The water supply of the city comes thrftugh a twenty-four inch and a sixteen inch main. The city has purchas

ed a supply of pipe for an additional thifty-six inch main which Is now being laid south from the Water-works. When this main has been completed to Robertsdale, the consumers at

Robertsdale and Roby will be taken

off the main that supplies the main part of the city, and this will release about six hundred thousand gallons

per day for consumption south of Robertsdale. The intention is to continue the thirty-six Inch main as rapidly a3 possible, which Is estimated

to be about one mile per year, to

connect with the present thirty-six inch main extending south from Ruth

street; in other words. It will require approximately three more years to

complete this connection under the present financial plan which the city

Is forced to follow.

transportation between Hammond. East Chicago and Indiana JIarbor, Chief of Police Peter Austgen today b'amed the

I rauroans for the blockades of street i

crossings' with the statement that they persist in making up trains of eighty j and ninety cars which are more than an engine and crew can handle effij ciently. j Trains of forty and fifty cars could j pans over or be cut at street crossings' ! with little trouble and small delay.

stated the chief, while the freights of twice that length which are the orders of the company block a half dozen eroxffings imultneouly and are so long it is practically impossible to cut them quickly to allow street traffic to move. The chief recited an Instance where crossings were he id a half hour because a "drag" was so heavy two drawbars were pulled out. Trains are crippled this way repeatedly.

possible, the chief has had occasion to j make a study of the situation. He ab- i

solves the crews of the railroad tra:ns from blame and claims that with shorter trains they would be able to minimize the blockades. "Before they pull out of the yards," stated the chief, "the trainmen call up the tower for the target at the crossing of the Monon, ETle, Nickel Plate and Michigan Central roads at Hohman ftreet. Often they are given the tar

get only to have It taken away after they have pulled up nearly to the crossing. Passenger trains have the right of way and the long freight will have to wait, blocking several crossings. The fault Is not with the crews but with the companies in sending out such long "drags." "It is a problem," said the chief, "that will never be totally solved until elevation cornea. Double tracking of the street car lines will help and shorter trains would eliminate a great deal of the trouble." The chief stated that the police department has a standing request with the street car company to furnish it with reports on all blockades and paid that when these are called to the attention of the railroads they take the crews to task. "The railroads are putting boosters on some of the long drags," said the chief, "and that is a great help."

Girl's Statement Will Help Hammond

453 Here is the girl's own story: "For 494 years I had dyspepsia, sour stomach 370 and constipation. I drank hot water 3 and olive oil by the gallon. Nothing

helped until I tried buckthorn bark, glycerine, etc., as mixed in Adler-i-ka. ONE SPOONFUL helped me INSTANTLY." Because Adler-i-ka flushes the ENTIRE alimentary tract it relieves ANY CASE constipation. sour stomach or gas and prevents appendicitis. It has QUICKEST action of anything we ever sold.
