He did. however, enumerate a number of ways tn which Hammond could show e better spirit of co-operation with its neighboring city. These included: 1. East Chicago has four well paved streets leading over towards Hammond It was suceesled that Hammond should; pave at leest one thoroughfare to meet! hese and provide the two cities with an J irrorcommunicating highway. 2. That Hammond co-operate with Kttst Chicago in its effort to secure a ommutitlont ticket between Chicago and "ast Chicago similar to the one Hamnond now has. 3. That Hammond take steps to rectify the mistake of Forsythe avenue by which the street was laid out over such a circuitous route under the hump that its usefulness has been practically destroyed. 4.

The leasonableness of these demands was m.'t questioned by the visiting: delegation from Hammond. It was resolved that topi should be taken immediately t show that Hammond is wilting to work in close co-opernt ion with East Chicago. Howeer. on the following Tuesday, less than a week after the first meeting'. East Chicago resolved to tight the Calumet avenue improvement. This gave Hammond less than a week in which to prove its good faith in bringing about the changes suggested by Mr. Wlekey. The people of Hammond do not believe that East Chicago has deliberatty determined to antagonize Hammond in this matter. They believe thsf the counsel of the older and wiser heads will prevail, that East Chicago will give Hammond time in which to show its honest desire for clos co-operation in inter-city matters. East Chicago nmiia an effort to have Forsythe avenue improved by the county but was unable to do so on account f the law which provides that a county improvement must not lie wholly within the limits of any city, it is Impossible to bring the Forsythe avenue improvement within the provisions of the law as recently passed. In the case (if Calumet avenue, however, it is possible to improve it. under the law. Now when the Eat Chicago people found that they would have to pay for. by special assessment, what Hammond was about to get at the e.penso of the township, the opposition developed. Ea-it Chicago has Imd occasion, in many instances, to seek expensive improvements at tn . counties' expense Five bridges costing eighty or ninety thousand collars apiece were built in the short period of four or five years. Kennedy avenue has been repeatedly improved. Gary avenue was improved at

the the expense, of the countv. East Chicago's high valuation and rapid d- velopment makes all of these improvements imperatively necessary Hammond lias even sent representatives to nppesr before the board of county commissioners to urge that these improvements be made. Xow when Whiting. Robertsdal and Munster all join Hammond in wanting Calumet avenue paved at the county's expense it ill behooves East Chicago to oppose the improvement. There is no question but that the continued opposition of East Chicago would result in deplorable reprisals aftd some steps ought to Le taken to bring about an amicable solution of the prohlem.

Know that there is no use in our selling a watch that won't make good. Because even our J?.00 watches are guaranteed for one year. Because every dollar above that amount that anybody pays gets them just that much more watch value. Because we handle all tbe widely known makes, and do not touch anything- that is uncertain.
