MAYOR

COMBINATION

NOW BROKEN?

Democrats Combine With Minority Republicans in Council Now Weakened.

WHAT THE CITY COUNCIL DID The Hammond city council last night: Held up an appropriation of $25,000 for park purposes to ascertain "what the park board proposed to do with thfe money." Refused to pay Theo. Klotz back salary which the former city judge claims to be due and the city attorney says is not due. , Went on record as against beer and lisht -wine by a vote of 11 to 7; Simpson, Mohan. Slack, .Schulte, Krigiolka. Dedelow and Seligrer voting- wot. Passed an ordinance creating' a $10 to $100 fine and 30 day jail sentence for "male or female street walkers." Passed ordinance to compel Erie railroad to operate safety Kates at Highland street crossing twenty-four hours a day. Tassed ordinance regulating cemeteries. Adjourned after Councilman Schulte had scored the mayor for employing out of town teamsters on city Jobs. Tarty lines were drawn' in the city council last night when democrat members, suffering defeat on tr.e beer and wtne resolution, turned their attention to Mayor Brown's newly appcinted park board and held up an ordinance authorizing a bond issue of $23,000 for park purposes. "Let the park board come up here and explain what they propose to do with that money," declared Coun oilman Schulte. one of the democratic Irreconcllibles. "I understand there are a few individuals who want the city to build a ball park and put a fence around it. I am opposed to fencing in a city ball park and charging admission to games." The ordinance, was referred to the finance committee. Otherwise it was a good night for the mayor. With the democrat councilmen "eating crow" on the wine and beer resolution which had been slipped over two weeks ago, the mayor's "faithful seven" mustered sufficient strength to put over an ordinance regulating cemeteries In the city and requiring that any company or association contemplating the construction of a cemetery must apply to the board of works for a permit and give bonds in the sum of $10,000 to guarantee suitable landscape screens. Councilman Malo of the eleventh (Haywood) ward, one of the republican city fathers who was intrl- j gued into voting for beer and wine came forth last night annointed by the administration and unsheathed Ms sword In the mayor's cause. In making the motion to rescind the beer and wine resolu

tion Councilman Malo spoke with feeling' about his oath of office to uphold the constitution of the V. S. and expressed regret that In as "a prank" he had voted in favor ot the resolution two weoka ago. Councilman Simpson, democrat endeavored to rally the waning balance of power of his party , to the support of a motion that the vote on he beer and wine resolution should represent the sentiments of the Individual counellmen and not presume to express the wishes of

i the people of the city. The motion

lost. 11 to 7. Mayor Brown made small use of the opportunity the changed situation in the council offered. None of -the administration ordinances that had previously been defeated by the democrat-republican combine were revived. An ordinance defining a "street walker" and providing a fine of from $10 to $100 and a Jail sentence or thirty days for male or female street walkers, was passed by unanimous vote. The telephone company was again requested to take its wires off Calumet avenue. The park board reported It was prepared to purchase additional ground for park purposes and to build a concession stand in Harrison park, also a wading pool for children.

ROOFING CO. SEES BOOM

III BUILDING

An interview with the Calumet Roofing Company, the oldest concern of its kind In the Calumet region brings out the following indis putable facts: 1. There is a building boom developing. 2. Members of the Contractors and Material Men's Association are busy figuring on jobs. 3. Many contractors have contracts now that will keep them busy for six months. 4. The Calumet Roefiing Company already have contracts that will keep their force busy for the next four months. Henry Gluth, the junior member of the Calumet Roofing Company, says Hammond .has Just begun to edge Into a building era that will see handsome structures of all kind go up and that there will be some intensive construction work carried on within the next five years. Preceding the real boom that is coming, he says, Hammond has already added to her laurels buildings that would be a credit to most metropolitan cities, among them the Masonic Temple, the industrial high school, the Elks Temple, the Wolf Manufacturing company. Continental Seed Company. William Gluth, senior member of the firm started in the roofing business In Hammond on a small scale many years ago and by his marked Integrity later found it necessary to increase facilities. He then form ed a partnership with his son Henry and have operated since under the name of the Calumet Roofing company. Their Importance In the build ing game in Iake county is recognized when it is pointed out that they have executed contracts for practically every public building of any importance in this city and surrounding territory. Including the buildings mentioned above. The company also maintains an office at 127 South Dearborn street, Chicago, in the Monadnock building. They operate a large fleet of trucks and employ a large force of expert roofers. Young Gluth goes on to say: .Basic materials that enter into the manufacture of roofing have dropped to such a. point the highest grade product can now be bought at 13J4 tlguref. The outlook was never better, with available materials, low prices and no further labor troubles expected, the stage is "set" for the big acts to follow."

MDORHEAD ON BUSINESS METHODS

Paul Moorhead. President of the Moorhead Oil Co., talking beforv -lie Hammond Rotary Club upon tlio lubject for March, "Business Methjda," refered to one of the working .-ulcs of Rotary which is as follow; To hold that true friends demand .otliing of one another and that my abuse of the confidence of fr'tnd .ihip 'or profit is foreign to the tpirIt cf Rotary and in violation o its '.'.'o.'Je ot Ethics." There aro many people who not being familiar with the true spirit of Rotary believe that its members enjoy an inside priviiego of soliciting patronage from his fellow members that is denied an outsider. Such a motive could not long survive in any organization. Naturally if we are good (business lien, we are going to try and develop as many customers as we can ;nd nobody could deny us this right. But the inside privilege as the outsider might it, exists only insofar as we can inspire confidence and demonstrate service. If we can do that, then we make friends and nobody can deny that a friend has the ethical right to express his friendship and confidence in a pracaical and direct way of giving patronage, if he wishes to do so. This, however, is the privilege of friends in or out of the Rotary. I have heard it often said "that you only gain from Rotary that which you put into it." and the same applies to business, for you only gain from it that which you put into it, and though you might obtain business by your associations with other Rotarians, you would have a hard time keeping it if you did not give the best that you had to give In quality and service. That takes us back to our Rotary ?.fotto: "He profits most who serves best," The only obligation that exists In Rotary is, that the one who has something to sell must give honest service.

FORTUNE SHINES FOR JAGSERS

Fortune took a turn f orij the better for Mr. and Mrs. CharUs Jagger of Gary today. It was the first bright spot in. the troublous days which have fallen their fot since Mrs. Jagger found $60,000j 1n government "bonds In a Chicago taxicab two years ago. U. S. Commissioner Charles Surprise today discharged them as to two warrants which has been issued against them in the federal court at Chicago. One warrant charged the Jaggers with impersonating Melville Reeves reputed bi'rglar, in obtaining possession of two of the bonds. The other charged that they impersonated the. Lam son Co., of Boston in obtaining the same bonds. In the hearing before the commissioner in Hammond today Mrs. Jagger related again her story of the finding of the bonds; how her attorneys advertised In an effort to find the owner and how her husband had finally turned the two over to the First National (bank of Gary for collection after government officials had advised that the true owners could not be found. There is still a federal grand Jury indictment hanging over the Jag

gers in Chicago, based on the Reeves and Lamson angles of the case but as they are not under bond to appear in Chicago since Mr. Surprise made his ruling today It Is probable that the Indictment will be dropped.

A civil suit brought by the Lamson Co., to obtain possession of the bonds Is now pending In the federal court at Hammond.
