Salary Increase Provided

Although no ordinance ha been patsed by the Hammond city council, raisin the salaries of members of the police and fire departments, the budget for l?;o was altered last evening to provide for tueh increases. Police patrolmen and privates of the tire department may now have their pay increased tw-enty-five cents per day. Recommendations from the police commissioners were read asking that th appropriation for the police department be increased to provide for raising the salaries of patrolmen to 1130 per onth. a boost of $7 50 while officers are to get a 110 raise. The request of the city firemen was looked up and the appropriation for that department was In. reased to provide for similar salary changes. Alderman Heekmen and U. C. Smith opposed both measures. Alderman Rei'.lv rr.ee more brought the poor condition of the new. Fayette street pavement f the council's attention At the last meeting he warned the body that something- had to be done and was promised that it would be attended to. L-ist night he was Informed that the United Construction Co. was supposed to talce care of the street for a year and that the company would d something. Just what they will do no one seemed to know. At the rate the pavement is going to pieces the contractors will have to put in new street before I long. President Luthmsn of the Board reminded the council that an insptctor was paid tS per day to see that the Job was done right. A new sprinkling ordinance fixing the hours, territory and providing a penalty for violation was brought up but failed to pass on the "No" of Alderman Reilly. An ordinance was introduced regulating the sale of guns, revolvers or pistols. By its provision no dealer was to sell a weapon to any person unless th person had a permit from the chief of police in which he had set forth his name, the purpose for which the gun was bought and other uesful data. This was expected to put a stop to the rush of Chicago negroes to Hammond for weapons and fo prevent irresponsible persons carrying r"ns. Alderman Heckieman and Smith halted the ordinance of suspension of rules. After being lost for over four months an ordinance which had been turned over to the City Attorney for amendment was brought up for final passage. It regulates the erection of billboards, tlxed license fees and provided a fine for violations. After their memories had been refreshed the aldermen voted It through. The ordinance which wr.j to dlsannex five acres of lind in Robertsdale in order that Whiting might grab it and build a new schoolho'ise which i was to be used by both Whiting: and Robertsdale under the usual regulations, was voted down after a n imber of the councilmen had made rpeeches against the measure. Alderman Haman was its strongest champion. Soy Scout Column H ATMTMONP SCOUT CASO. Lawrence Harris, camp director; Eugene Bergeron. Scout instructor. Rartlne Lund, nwimming instructor.

Monday evening there was a "near" tragedy at Scout camp. Reports of intruders were circulated and the who!f camp was on the look out. While, al! 1 wom assembled around the camp fire I a disturbance was heard and loud call for help cmr.e from the direction of the "Cook Shack.'

A detail was placr-d back of the tents and a gu.ird with axes at the cook house. Aftr "Taps" the cook house guard heard noises and discovered a man in the shack. The whole camp uas called out and the intruder sprang cut and rushed into the woods where he was joined by a companion. In the excitement of the chae the ocok became overcome with fright and fell In a convulsion. The boys gathered and watched him with blanched faces for Frank is dearly loved by all the Scouts. While; this was happening Mr. Lund and Scout Edw. Buottner discover d one of the men lurking in a shadow and in his enthusiasm for the safety of the camp Puettncr threw tho ax with deadly effect. When picked up the axe was covered with blood and the most intense excitement prevailed. Camp was assembled and a search was r.inde for the body. It was discovered and brought in covered with a blanket. The boys stood in a circle around Puettr.er and the leaders discussed what hid best be done. It was decided that the rublic must never know the facts and each boy took a solemn promise to follow the advice of his leaders. Then all were brought over to view the victim and the blanket was removed from the- bloddy corpse, only to discover a Vg of wood and a box. Cook, who had mysteriously recovered viewed th" body while he calmly puffed a $25 cigar. A full investigation followed and it was found that the whole affair was a hcax. The blood wa grease paint and the intruder one of the leaders in a rain cont. Even Frank says he was ' faking." The lesson of what to do In emergency was well taught and all in al! It was one cf the best camp initiations ever staged. I.SVI GETS KUTT CASE. Scoutmaster Levi Golden stole another suit case, last Sunday.

The axeman raised tho blade that was soon to launch an unfortunate into eternity. All held thtir breath and a.waited the fatal blow.
