PAVING IS

East Chicago And Hammond Thoroughfare Improvement Knocked Out A wave of indignation swept through the East Chicago council last evenign when a motion to improve 150th street, an ordinance that had reached the third reading and scheduled for adoption was lost and laid upon the table for later consideration. While the majority of the council members signified their intention of supporting the ordinance declaring this street improvement, the sentiment of the property owners along 150th street who would be affected by such improvements was too strong , and after much discussion and deliberation the motion was lost and 150th street is to remain. the rocky road to Hammond. SENOUR SUCCEEDS REPPA ON BOARD A. C. Senour, Principal of the Riley Grade School of Indiana Harbor, was unanimously elected by the members of the council to succeed John K. Reppa, on the East Chicago library board. Mr. Reppa's term expires May 5. The name of Mr. Senour was proposed by Councilman John Galvin. PROPOSE CODIFYING ORDIANCE City Comptroller P. A. Parks, in a communication adressed to the mem bers of the common council recommended the codifying of all city ordinances and the binding of same into book form so as to make them accessible at all times for the public's references. Since the city has been incorporated ordiances have been allowed to accumulate without being classified or put into any shape whatsoever, making them cumbersome and difficult to file and handle. Mr. Park's stated. As records for the public's information and for the purpose of discovering ordinance already declared void and separating these from those now in effect were suggestions mentioned in Mr. Park's letter of reeommendation to adopt this filing system now vogue in most all second class EDWARD C.

cities of the country as East Chicago. An ordinance, which had reached third reading asking for an oppropriation of $466.78 for the purchase of a Ford to be used by City Bailiff Edward Knight, was adopted. j An ordinance, introduced at the last regular session of the council to appropriate. $750 to be used for purchasing of horses, was amended to read $1,000 instead, and the specific number of horses to be bought with this amount was fixed at five. The motion of Councilman Galvin for the board of works to employ ex-councilman Maxwell to recommend in the selection of the animals was also accepted by the council members. The ordinance, however, was referred to third reading. Preliminary to the spring and the summer road improvement, the board of works requested an ap-

propriation large enough to cover the purchase of between sixty and seventy-five car loads of crushed stone. M. J. Kiernan, member of the board of works informed the council that the board has already received bids on crushed stone and that the Consumer's Ice and Coal Co., were low bidders at $1.87 a cubic yard. The ordinance was adopted. An ordinance, appropriating $300 for the payment of special judges in 'the East Chicago city court, was adopted. An old bill, amounting to $223.47, rendered by Mike Reil for repairing No. 1 fire station roof last September, was introduced for payment. Objections were made to the payment of this bill by Councilman Davis insofar as the roof is still leak ing and the work in his opinion was not competed in workmanship manner. He therefore, suggested that the ordinance appropriating the amount be referred to second reading and that in the meantime the finance committee investigate and ascertain whether or not the bill is legitimate. GARY VOTE IS LIGHTER THAN USUAL . Gary will probably record the quietest primary election in the history of the city today Although certain political factions spread the rumor over the city that there would be clashes at the polls, the state agents would be here to see that there would be no election frauds and that the voters would not be permitted to vote unless they ass MINAS CO.

were for so and so, there had not been the slightest trace of any trouble up to noon today. Order reigns at every one of the thirty-one precincts in the city. City policemen were instructed through Chief of Police Forbis yesterday not to engage in any political arguments and are there only to maintain law and order. They are observing their instructions to the letter. An unusually light vote is expected, on top of the fact of the large ar ray of candidates. Although workers were active in trying to get out an early vote, tabulations of the vote from the various precincts at noon show that the total vote will be far below that of the last city election. With the polls opening promptly at six o'clock there had only been 3,500 votes cast at eleven o'clock There should have been close to 6,000 votes in by this time. The rate should be about a thousand votes an hour but it is only reaching 700 an hour. Because of so many candidates in the field especially for the justice of the peace office in Gary and each with his army of supports, candidates and politicians in Gary were looking for a big vote. However, the vote has not appeared up to this time and predictions are being made that the total vote will reach around 8,000, several thousand shy of the usual vote.

HEAVY IS N E. Reports from all sections of the East Chicago-Indiana Harbor palling places announce that there has been a steady stream of voters all morning, and that indications are that the vote in this section will be unusually heavy. So far only two arrests have been made by the East Chicago police, and these early this morning. Two Negroes, who gave their names as John W. Hardy, of 4909 Melville avenue, and Edward Smith, of 4813 Melville avenue, were taken into custody by Police Officers Trtanj and Parenicko, when found carrying concealed weapons. The officers presumed that the colored duo was a vanguard placed in the Calumet district for political purposes. Outside of these, two arrests there has been no disturance reported by any of the officers policing the polls at this writing. Chief of Police C. C. Struss, whose forces are keeping strict vigilence over the nineteen polling places, predict a quite day. CROWN POINT Mr. and Mrs. Wayne Collins, of Hammond were in Crown Point with friends on Sunday. The family or John Krets moved to Hammond on Monday of this week where Mr. Krets has secured employment. Their home on Grant street was sold recently to William Kobelin who is moving there this week. Mr. and Mrs. James Davenport, of Chicago, spent the week-end with Mr. and Mrs. Homer McCrilius. Word was received here on Saturday by Mrs. H. H. Wheeler of the death of her sister. Mrs. Fannie Maulsby, who died in Marshalltown, Iowa, of heart disease. Mrs. Maulsby was 74 years old and a daughter of the late H. F. Ward. The funeral was held in Marshaltown, yesterday. Mrs. Benjamin F. Hayes returned to Crown Point on Sunday from her southern and eastern trip. She vis ited her sister Mrs. LaFay Wilke in Buffalo, N. Y., and also friends in Washington, D. C. Mr. and Mrs. David Maney are vis iting relatives in "Wilmette, Ill, for several weeks. Herman Graves and family moved to the Philenus Williams house on North Main street on Tuesday. Almost delightful program was givin by the children of St. Mary's Parish at the school hall on Sunday night, the affair being in honor of Father Guethoff's names day which is May 1st. A neat sum was realized from the sale of tickets which will be used for the school building fund. Mrs. Albert Verplank entertained twenty-five guests at her home in Gary, on Saturday, April 29th. The house was beautifully decorated in spring flowers and a delicious three course dinner was -served from tastily appointed tables. A most delightful time was spent. Guests were present from Gary, Crown Point and Napanee at this pleasant social affair.

ROTARIANS HEAR TALK ON SCOUTING

Get ready to di down into your pockets. The financial campaign for the Boy Scouts and Salvation Army of Hammond is at hand. It starts next Monday morning at 9:30 o'clock sharp. , Last evening at the Chamber of Commerce rooms, the joint chairmen, E. N. Bunnell, representing the Salvation Army, and George Hannauer, representing the Boy Scouts. called their forces into conference and mapped out the general details for the drive. The little matters will be left for the division captains to work out as best suits their territories. Ths division captains are as follows: - f Division 1 A. R. See. Division 2 W. C. Belman. Division 3 M. C. Monnett. Division 4 Max Klein. Division 5 J. P. Croak. . Division 6 Dr. G. L. Smith. Division 7 F. J. O'Rourke. Division 8 Peter Brahos. Division 9 J. H. Conroy. Division 10 George Hannauer. Division 11 George Geyer. Division 12 Mayor Daniel Brown. Division 13 R. H. Harrington Division 14 Mrs. Ralph M. Pierce. Division 15 C. H. True. Division 16 J. W. Jaranowski. Picking division leaders was an easy matter this year. Every person who was approached and who could possibly do so accepted the task willingly. These division captains have already divided tbeir territory into districts, each of which is in charge of a chairman. "Never before have I received such a unanimous response in calling upon men to take over an unselfish job that will take up so much of their time," said Mr. Hannauer. "Every man we approached agreed to take up the work with a single exception, who explained that his boy is in a critical condition as a result of an injury. He says he will be with us jsut as soon as the boy's condition will permit him to leave the bedside." Mr. Bunnell and Attorney J. H. Conroy spoke on the work of the Salvation Army and its needs for the coming year. President Pierce of the Hammond Scout Council told of the troubles the Hammond scouts have had in finding a wholesome camp location. Time after time it has been necessary to move to new locations because of the encroachment of summer cottages and dance hails on nearby lakes. Mr. Belman described the Cedar Crest camp site which was recently acquired in Michigan. Executive Scott told of the work which ths scout program is accomplishing. He showed how scouting is delivering the goods in the community and that it is not a passing fad. As long as it continues its good work it may be considered permanentm he said. The scout drum and bugle corps finished things off by serenading the workersPersons who are assigned to duty who are not thoroughly acquainted with ths details may gain any information by calling Mr. Olsen at the office of Chairman Hannauer or Treasurer Howard Gescheldler at the Hammond Trust & Savings Banks.
