PROPERTY INVOLVED

May Mean Two Wider Streets h and Heavy Loss to Property Owners Did you know that the final disposition of a case now pending in the Appellate court of Indiana involves more than a million dollars worth of property in the center of Hammond? In many respects it Is the most important law suit ever fought by the city of Hammond and more than a hundred property owners are vitally interested In the outcome. The case it known as the Standard Oil Co. s E. N. Bunnell and the City of Hammond. It is a suit for quiet title brought by the Standard Oil Co. against Bunnell and his wife, and later against the city of Hammond, to easement on seven feet of land comprising the south seven feet of the fifty foot lot . at the northeast corner of Hohman and Russell streets, running east to the Methodist church. Later the auit was found to include thirty-seven feet instead of seven. MAT AFFECT OTHER STREETS If the Standard Oil Co. loses Its suit to quiet title these thirty-seven feet from the north side of Russell street will be added to Russell street, making It a ninety foot street, and as a result the city will be in a position to take a similar slice of property from lots on the north side of Russell street east to Oakley avenue and forty feet from lots on the south side of Fayette street from Hohman to Oakley avenue. One piece of property, triangular In shape, at the intersection of Fayette street, Oakley ave. and Russell street, will be completely wiped out. It is owned by "William Maginot . Attorney Joseph Conroy, representing the legal department of the city, said today that the city would not drop the suit but that its only Interest is In seeing that justice is done. "Fayette street, and Russell street from Hohman street to Oakley avenue are legally ninety feet wide," he declared. OLD FIAT INVOLVED According to the evidence presented before Judge Crumpacker in the Porter circuit court, from which the city took an appeal to the appellate court, M. M. Towle purchased the property from Fayette to Russell streets and also the property north of Fayette and south of Russell, in 1810. He laid out the property north of Fayette street as the Townsend and Godfrey addition and dedicated thirty feet of the addition on the south side for a street (Fayette street). He laid out Towle and Young's addition south of Russell street and dedicated the north thirty feet to the city for a street (Russell street). A checking up of these two additions show them to be correct. XIXETY FOOT STREETS Towle next laid out the property between these two streets, east of Hohman street to Oakley avenue, and called it Latham's addition, and provided that sixty feet on the south side of Fayette should be dedicated to Fayette street End sixty feet on the north side of Russell street should be dedicated to Russell street. This makes Fayette street nd Russell street each ninety feet wide. However, only twenty of the sixty feet on the south side of Fayette street was used for street purposes, leaving forty feet that prope-ty owners "gobbled up" while, the city charges, only twenty-three feet on the north side of Russell street wa8 used for street purposes and thirtyseven feet nis heen "gobbled up." The city seeks to chop off forty feet on the south side of Fayette street from Hohman street to Oakley avenue and thirty-seven feet on the north side of Russell street from Hohman street to Oakley avenue. The Standard Oil Company paid S25.00O for fifty feet at the corner of Hohman end Russell streets and if it loses thirty-seven feet It will have paid a record price for thirteen feet of Hohman street frontage.

No motorist can judge the fpeed of an approaching train. Remember if it is going sixty miles an hour the train will be on the crossing in fifteen or twenty seconds at the most. Don't take chances." These were the instructions of Marcus Daw. general safety engineer of the New York Central lines, in a safety address before the Hammond Kiwanis club at luncheon toda'. Mr. Daw, who is a very forceful speaker, declared t'.iat In the campaign to promote caution among automobile drivers, the railroads of the country had determined by an accurate survey that only fifty per cent of the motorists look both ways when approaching a grade crossing. He declared that as long as motorists drive blindly onto grade crossings there will be fatalities and when they learn to exeroise the utmost caution there will be no more horrible grade crossing killings. CA3CP AXONS STJCCESSrrX. The speaker declared that great good has been accomplished by the safety campaigns in the Industries, on the railroads and in the cities of the country the past few years. "If properly conducted a safety campaign will prevent accidents, preserve human life, increase efficiency, eliminate waste in industry j and most important of all decrease human suffering," said Mr. Daw. "The New Tork Central railroad, after nine years of safety work ha cut death and injuries to employes through accidents to fifty per cent by means of safety lectures, posting of illustrated bulletins, motion pictures and safety committees. "St. Lrfvuis was the first big city to make a concerted campaign against carelessness on th3 streets and in other public places and as a result ci its safety campaigns fatalities lue to accidents were reduced by one-half. In 1917 there w:re thirtyseven people killed by automobile in St. Louis and in 1921 there were only fourteen, this despite ths increased number of automobiles in the city. The tital children killed in St. Louis was reduced frow 25 in 1917 to 12 in 1921. TAKK NO CHANCES. "Always remember when you approach a grade crossing and there Is a moving train in sight that j there are only a few seconds be tween you and eternity if you attempt to pass ov:r the tracks ahead of the train." In closing, Mr. Daw told the .club that it was just as important to save a life by teaching safety as it was to rescue a drowning man. "A life saved i a life saved," he declared.

Chamber of Commerce Outlines Simple Rules For Preventing Fires

Ordinary precautions, according to the Hammond Chamber of Commerce, would do away with much of the country's half billion dollar annual fire loss. For the guidance of the public the organization Issued today a few simple rules designed to reduce fire hazards in the home. These rules are as follows: "Before starting the fires for the winter, it is Important that careful attention be given to the chimneys and flues, for if they are neglected the entire home may be reduced to a few charred embers merely because of such lack of care. During the five years ending 1920, property valued in excess of II".000.000 was destroyed annually ai the result of defective chimneys and flues. The larger part of this loss could have been prevented if an Inspction had been made, soot cleaned out, and the necessary repairs made before the fire was built in the fall. "Oils and gasoline take their annual toll of destruction because someone uses them carelessly or ignorantly. Kerosene or gasoline is a dangerous assistant when starting a fire in the stove or furnace. Oily mops or rags often cause fires from spontaneous combustion. They should therefor be always kept in metal containers. "Electric lighting and heating apparatus should be carefully inSPORTSMEN HEAR HOW GAME LAWS AREJIOLAIED Not all the fish hogs are In the fish houses, Al Barber, state game warden told a hundred members of the Lake County Fish & Game Association at their regular monthly meeting in the basement of Mlllikan's Sporting Goods store, Hammond, last night.

Tbe law places the maximum catch at 50 croppies. But this is being exceeded daily." Barber, whose territory includes five counties, said that within the past month he has ferreted out 0 fur violators. 12 of them within the past few days. He is now located most 'of the time at the warden's cottage at Hebron.

Dr. Robinson grabbed a rug from the floor and ran into his office wherJ he telephoned for clothes. stalled and frequently Inspected Electricity alone caused an average of 17. 00(5.000 loss annually during the five year period ending 1920. "Disorder and untidiness breed fires. Careful attention should therefore be given by the house holder to the removal of all rub bish from dollars, attics and cup boards. . "All open lights -in a home should be orocerly protected. Care should be taken that curtains or other in flammaible material can not blow into the flame of the gas light. Screens shoold be placed in front of open fire places so that no one can accider.tlv ret his clothes in contact with the flame. "Lighted matches, cigar or cigar ette butts should be properly dis posed of. "Hot water, not fires should be used to thaw frozen water pipes. Every individual owes it to him self, his family and his neighbors to use every means possible to re move the causes of fire in the home He should realize that carelessness or thoughtlessness on his part may not only deprive him of his property ijut cause loss and sueffrlng to oth ers since a fire rapidly spreads.
