If Mil PROPERTYS REaOY SALE

The high cost of building giving a jreat miVM-(us to (he .--ale of improved property according i im mix r of the firm of Hastings, Woods & Co. who announce a list of sales in their broktrlg department today. This activity, according to this firm's analysis of th- real estate situation, is sure to be follow, d by great activity in vacant risidenti.il properly and then later on. as soon fis prices for building materials has been talnilized. a real building boom is expected to start. The great activity in residential improved is rapidly increasing, the prices asked for dwellings and fiats. When these rrioes reach certain level and the lists of bargains is exhausted, then jew construction will begin. One of the largest sales made by Hastings. Woods & Co.. recently was that of a strip of ground 3 25 by 450 feet in size which was sold by the Harr.mon & Suburban Realty Co. to the "ak Hill Cemetery Co. The unusual thing about this sale is that the property has no frontage on any street. The Hammond & Suburban Realty Co. retain, for park purposes, a strip of land 5 feel wide and 450 feet long fronting on Kohman street and fifteen feet wide and 175 feet long fronting on Kenwood ivenut. This strip is to be graded, covered with black dirt and rlantod with a foliage screen this fall at a cost of $1.."'00. This work will complete tha parking of Kohman street in front of the Oak Hill cemetery and will completely screen it from view. The property retained has been deeded to the city of Hammond for rark purposes and after Its improvement, at the expense of the Hammond & Suburban Realty Co., will, after two years, be maintained perpetually by the city

of Hammond. The consideration for

the sale was $7,5Q'l. The brokerage departmetn of Hast

successful management of Frank R

Martin has made the following sales

.Map Knowing the dual empire in its relation to other European powers.

According to recent reports from Hungary, that half of the dual empire is heartily sick of the war, hates Austria and might be willing' to make a separate peace except for the huge territorial demands of Roumania, which wants Transylvania, and Serbia, which wants Bosnia and Herzegovnia and other slices of the empire if possible. The kingdom of Austria and the kingdom of Hungary have separate parliaments and act as one only m military matters and foreign affairs.

his credit in the five games he has pitched. Last year, the "West Knds were the first team to cause the downfall of the White Giants in the City League, and they claim that this year they will have the honor of doing the same thing to Hammond. Hammond is determined to win nevertheless, in vrder to keep their slate clean. (Dutch) Hellman. whose hitting has been of the sensational order In the last few games, tops the Hammond- team with an average of .639 for the five league contests. This mark, as far as can be ascertained, Is the leading average for the City League. Keene Palmer, who is now in the officers' reserve at Fort Benjamin Harrison, is second on the list with .610 for four games; while Austin Walsh, former Federal leaguer, ranks third with .43S; Harry (Keckie) Moll, a local boy. is hitting the ball for a .375 average for four games, closely followed by Homer Hudson, with .357. Although Rhode is batting .333 he is the real slugger of the team, as far as extra base hits are concerned. A week ago Sunday he made a home run off (Tacks) DeLave which practically won the game. In addition to this, he has made three two base-hits and one tripple in five games.

TREASURER JOHNSON

MAKES STATEMENT

At a special meeting of thp East Chicago city council heid Thursday evening an ordinance was passed fixing the salary of the street eoir.iuiss.oncr at $2.10 a ytar. This in the Increase in salary that Street Commissioner Kierniin felt that he must have in order to finish the year. He has been offpred a very luc

rative trs;tion in one of the steel mills and d.d m-t feel that he could make th personal sacrifice necessary to retain the job unless the alary was raised to this amount. The only objection to this Increase was made by some members who thought that during the succeeding administration a man much less capable might be appointed and that the salary might be more than the services were worth. A nordinance was also passed fixing the salary of street laborers at $3 r r day for nine hour-. sewer laborers $3.50 per day for nine hours, teamsters $3.25 per day. and garbage cart men for $3.50 p-r day.
