THIS YEAR Hammond Banker Believes City Hall Should Be Located Geographically. QUESTIONS 1. Do you, as a citizen of Earn, mood, btliiTe tb.it the city slxouid gro aiiead with the construction of the proposed Memorial Building- and City HaU? 2. What Is your choice of location for this building-? In three weeks the Hammond city council will once more take up the proposal to erect a building- which will com Dine tha fca.'ure3 cf a aieia. orlal to the service men of the iatc war with a new city hall. The buildin;? has been estimated to cost about half a million dollars. In view of the division of sentiment in tlie council r.nd the conflictingopinions as, to the attitu.de of the public on the proposition, it has beu sug-g-ested that The Times conduct a poll of its readers. Make your answers brief and to the point a postal card will suinco and mail them to The Ttrais at once. Throe locations were sugg-cst-d by th cemmitteo of fifteen. One is on Sibley stroot, between Oakley and Sohl streets, the second is on Calumert avenue, between State and Sibley streets, and a third Is on rayette street, between the Central school and the Blonon tracks. It is not neoc3ary that you choose cne of these Edtes. If you have another one Ln mind, say so. Hammond's combination Memorial Building and City Hall s'tm.- in a fair way no: o be started this year. The iitv council last night deferred appointment of the trustees until the Mrs; meeting night in July. A M Turner and L. .. Bomberrer were present and rpoke azamst taking any act. on towards the building this yesr Mr. Turner staid h'j believed conditions were never belt r for amalgamation of Hammond. East Chicago and Wilting l.-.an now and the erect icn of a nr-.v city hall In Hammond would be pr-i.-tieally serving notice on the other towns that this city had given up its interest in the formation cf one large fcity. -'He believes that the city hall of the new city should be located at East Chicago, the gee-graphical center. Mr. Turner also believes that the soldirs " of the World War' who will soon be the bulk of the city's taxpayers are not particularly anxious to have the city assume such a heavy d.-bt at a time when bu.ldir.g conditions are so unsuitable . Mr. Bornberger reviewed the wttJc wnv-.h is ahead of the Hammond Board f TUdu'-ation of whir!: he is treasurer. B ds. he sa d. had (wn rn-p-vM for the cons truetion of the new Maywood and r. g u r e a double what the bard had been led to xpei t . School houses must be built inrlanimond he said, while the Memorial Building is not imperative. The two conflict in this re.pect. The ?inool beiard has as vet been unable to find any firm which will take its half-million do'lars worth of five per cent bonds. If the citv enters the field with a similar batt h of bond, neither will be able to finance- their schemes and the sheols will be the real sufferers. Speeches were made for and against proceeding with the memorial building by members of the council and the vote proceed wit hnormnation and elect. an of trust s stood f to 5 in favor of proceeding Th.-n a motion to hold the matter over for two weeks w as made and pa. -seel .

Some me-mbe in we re in fave-r of holding it up until Chicago's latest action could be learned. It slopped on suopensio.i of rules. Th- ordinance limited the loads to Si)0 pounds for each inch in width of tire per wheel. No loads will be permitted w hich with the 'ruck amount to over -S. 00 pounds w ithout special permits. l.ads are also limited to 102 inches in width and forty fe, ; in length. . An ordinance designed to increase the salary of the sanitary inspector to SI. .sop per ve-ar was referred to the fmati- e con. 111 i f t-e .

I While Indiana Harbor Police Are Solving One Murder - Another Happens. Indiana Harbor was the scene of another murder last night, the second this week, when William Rjmshas, a Lithuanian, who lived at 3SM Pennsylvania avenue, was killed by a blow behind the car. He was found on he street only a block from his home with his pocket3 lurned inside out. George Mott, a milk delivery man. found the body while making his rounds. The position in which his body was found leads the police to believe that he may have been murdered while in an automobile and afterwards thrown out. 4 . A BAD OAJVO The murder was committed when the police were just breathing easy after the worst hold-up gang that has ever infested tlje Twin Cities led by the man who Sunday morning murdered Nkk Kish, was yesterday apprehended br Nick Kish, was yesterday apprehended by Chief of Police Ed ODonncll, assisted by Bertillon Captain William Hughes ani Captain Torn Downey. The rang has; already confesseel to the murder and to several holdups during the past fewmonths and will probably be connected with other crimes as soon as a complete investigation can be made. AJRKE8T FOLLOWS TIP The arrest of the gang followed a tip which the police follow- so well that the entire gang was in jail before any of the-m had a suspicion that the police were on their trail. The le-ader, a negro by the name of Will Tht-rnton, has confessed to holding up Kish, but insists that the shot . which killed the man was fired by Fred Hoin. Hoin claims tha In merely accompanied Thornton and that Thornton elid the killing.
