THE TIMES.

Fridav. September 6, 191:

Myor Brown of Hammond appeared before the council asking that tha closing liiphf in Hammond be changed and that the stores in that city ba allowed t- remain open on Friday night instead of Thursday, it having long been a custom with the Hammond merchants to keep open on Friday. The question of modifying or altering the closing of stores in any wise was the subject of discussion, for a lengthy period. K. C. Minas. proprietor of the department store, explained the reasons for asking the change as i.ie stores get most of their orders for Saturday delivery on Friday. The question was viewed from every anp'.e. it being lh opinion of several members of the council that no change whatever should be made in the order It was finally agreed to permit the

day night until the next meeting of the council during which time a committeo composed o.f Messrs. Meyn. Wlckey and Pheehan will meet with the merchants' association of Whiting, East Chicago and Hammond and Investigate the situation so that the closing order can be generally adopted to the, complete satisfaction of all. The fuel adm mist ra t or's attention was directed to be called to the small stores In certain cities that were not observing the light regulation. The permission was granted the city of Whiting to improve Indiana boule

vard and Standard avenue in that city! with asphalt. Also erect a sewage pumping station, which is of vit?l importance' for the health of the community. The question of the soft irinli rarlor 1 being included in the closing ordr was I discussed and the arguments as to the ' status of ii, is drink shop was Indulged; In for some time and it was th final j

decision of the council that soft drink parlors and pool rooms are not now ineluded in the closing ordes The garage question In Lake county has been a topic of conversation and ! discussion since the closing order was I instituted at the last meeting of th ' council, and the ordv-r as finally agreed ' upon by the council to be sent out was , that garages in Lake county be required ;

to close thoir depaj tm-nt s of -ilr with the exception of gas and oil each night j at 6.30 with the exc'ition of Thursday! and Saturday nights.

A letter was read from Deputy Treas- 1 nrer Ralph Bradford stating th needs' of the soldiers who drive the trucks that oass through Crown Toin. The Com- ! mcroinl 'lub members have been giving the soldiers fre ncess to the club rooms i and Mr. Bradford his been donating i rostal cards, stationery and postaee to, the boys, which is a very commendable and generous act on his part, several ' others have also contributed to this : fund, but the bovs are coming so often! and Mr. Bradford does not feel that j those who have been donating can keep; it up indefinitely. The Council of De- ; fhrse i fully in accord with the plan 1 and commended M Bradford for his generosity and instructed the secretary; to see thn the Commercial Club be sup- ; plied wjih stationery etc. and the ex- , pense will be paid by the County Conn- , cil of Defens. Mrs. Wheeler was also; instructed to communicate with the y. ' M. C. A. authorities to see if their sta-j tionpry could not be secured for use in Crown Point. i Messrs Wilson.

They believe in Hammond and West Hammond and have put their money and brains behind the present greatness and wonderful future of Hammond and West Hammond. 2. Hammond and West Hammond have more real industries and brains behind them than any other town in the CALUMET district and yet property is now only about half the pri'-. in Hammond and Wer Hammond of what it is in the other towns in the Calumet district and hence the values arc bound to double. 3. Hammond is now going through the first stages of a boom that is sure to make real estate fortunes in the next few months. Hammond is under-subdivided. All vacant lots in well located properties will soon be picked up. 4.

Hamond has never had a real boom and hence real estate values are not inflated. It is reasonable to expect that there will be a hundred percent increase in all fairly priced and reasonably well located property in or about Hammond. 7. Hammond is the onlv citv in the iegion which has NORTH and SOUTH as well as EAST and WEST railroads. It is the greatest railroad center in the district. It is the greatest interurban center in North Township. 8. Hammond's industries are diversified. It isn't subject to the ups and downs of a city that subsists on a single industrv. Times arc never bad in Hammond. Thev are now more prosperous than they have ever been. 9. Hammond does more to encourage home owning and home building than any other city in the region. It has five building and loan associations that, help the hui'der and loans million? of dollars on easy terms payable in small installments. 10.

Values are increasing ts vacant lots become scarce. 11. Teople are just beginning to see that real estate is the safest, investment. It keeps the savlrrr- of the people away from Ret-rlch-quick sharks, cil promoters and thieves. Huy a little piece of bind and lay the foundation of a fortune. 12.
