SUBSCRIBES

jLliidj

Reported last niffht: No. of subscribers, 3416. Amount subscribed, $530,300. Now, if Hammond could only get a response from the hundreds of men and women who Individually have hundreds of dollars lying idle in safety deposit boxes of the banks, in strong boxes at home, the city is bound to get over the $300,000 mark. If there is a money slacker at this time it ia the person who refuses to take 4 per cent interest on a gold band the government's own money, negotiable and acceptlble fis the gold itself more so, because this bond-money draws interest. t This much Is certain about Hammond. To date no class, no nationality, and no organization as such has refused to endorse Uncle Sam's liberty loan bonds. The women of Hammond, under the leadership of Mrs. O. C. L Matthies. by tonight will be crowding the $70,000. Last night they reported $63,000, and when it is remembered that the workers are campaigning from door to door in weather like today, they deserve unstinted praise for their loyalty. Their largest subscroption to date came from K. C. Minas, who placed his subscription in the booth in the E. C. Minas Company store, 'Practically every home in P.obertsdale will own a bond. Although most of the men there subscribed in the industries in which they are employed the ladies in addition got $1300 whlc-h was increased J-00 last night after City Chairman W. C. Pelman and Mrs. Matthies addressed a community meeting, and more was promised. Miss Rena Ames, principal of the Lafayette school, who like many other Hammond teachers is always engaged in civic worl secured subscriptions among her pupils amounting to $1150. The Ladies' Aid society of St. Paul's Lutheran church subucribed for a $100 bond, and the three divisions of the Ladies' Aid in the Christian church subscribed for a $50 bond each. Members of Unity council. Knights of Columbus, have taken out approximately $1SOO. The committee is still hoping to get a liberal subscription which the Standard Steel Caf Co. will place to the credit of Hammond. Most of the large employing colorations in Hammond, such as the railroads, and others, have placed their subscript ions to the credit of the city- in which tl.ey have their headquarters-. Among these however, who helped to place Hammond on the map are the Reid Murdoch Co.. for $10,000; the Northern Indiana (las & Electric Co., for $10,000; the Strauhe Piano (. for $.",.000; the O. K. Champion Potato Co., for $1,000: the y. s. Jteta Co.. for $3,000; the American Steel Foundries Simplx) for $15,000. The subs-rlrtions were i-.ad-e by the corporations as such and J ao not include the amounts subscribed by the employes in the plants. The banks of Hammond, which have from day to day h-lpod Hammond's showings by placing their own subscriptions, expect to do more in order that Hammond shall coniu out of the c.mi-raU-n with flying colors. They want to see Hammond's good name and standing protected, and by promoting the campaign have piled up months of unremuneraUve work for themselves.

IS ilL.il HEX GROSSING GHASH Two men and two women were taken to St. Margaret's hospital early this morning after an Erie passenger train j had struck the automobile in which I they were riding north on Center street J in Burnham and completely demolished it.

It is expected that a final decision on the deep sewer litigation will tc had m the next few weeks. If the city finally wins its case the construction nde'retakenP "S "" f thC ori9inal P,ans wil! be immediately If the city loses and the contract with the United Construction company is knocked out, the plans and specifications for the deep sewer system wil be changed to conform to the requirements cf the court, and a new contract let.

It is expected that district sewers will be constructed on North Hodman street, North Calumet avenue and elsewhere if needed, AT ONCE, to save as much time as possible. If the taxpayers will net approve the plans for the intercepting sewer and pumping station; then the immediate needs of such districts as the north side will have to be met by installing a separate pumping station for e3Ch district sewer. THEN MAIN TRAFFIC STREETS WILL BE PAVED WITH HAMMOND'S SANITARY AND SEWER PROBLEMS SOLVED FOR THE NEXT FIFTY YEARS, THE NEW ADMINISTRATION PROPOSES TO PROCEED WITH THE PERMANENT IMPROVEMENT OF SUCH STREETS AS HOHMAN STREET, STATE STREET, NORTH HOHMAN STREET AND A NUM3ER OF CROSS-TOWN THOROUGHFARES. In the meantime a decision will have been had from the PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION on the question as to whether the urgent and ir mediate transportation needs of the city of Hammond are to be met by the Hammond, Whiting & East Chicago Railway Co. in a manner hat will assure the rapid development cf the city and adequate service for the people who slready live here, or whether some other step must be taken to furnish A DOUBLE TRACK TOWN WITH SOMETHING BETTER THAN A SINGLE TRACK-STREET CAR LINE.

The entire suffrage question centers around the word "male" in Section 3, Article 2 of the constitution. In this section the qualifications for voters are set out. The decision of the court also applies to the board of school commissioners and declares that women shall not have the right to vote for these offices, although it had been believed that women would be able to vote in these, cases.
