IE CONDITIONS Summer is slipping away and conditions at Hammond s lake front park remain about as they were when the bath house was opened .this season. When the firs tmurmur of disapproval from the public was heard the city council had the matter up for discussion one evening. Everyone admitted that things were in bad shape. There was little grass left because of l he sand and gravel which had been washed up by the waves during the winter- and spring. Hence people mild not sit on the ground except at a lew places. This would not have ineen so bad if there had been plenty of benches. Remnants of the old line of benches along the beach were all that remained for thescomfort of visitors. There never were enough of them. Crowds Cheap Coal IF YOU WANT IT I'VE GOT IT Eleven different sizes and grades at eleven different prices to fit. DIBOS "The Coal Man" Phone Hammond 4
