That the victory was fairly earned

West Hammond citizens in con-
nection with the citizens from South
Chicago, are taking an active part
that the road from the Michigan
Central tracks leading to our ceme-
terry should be improved. Thus far
their endeavors have met with steady
and stubborn opposition from the side
of the cook county commissioners,
SO that the undertakers and funeral
parties from South Chicago were OBJ
liged to go around about three miles
and the citizens from West Hammond
had to walk, either in deep snow dur
ing winter, and thick sand or water
in spring.
The sewer question has been at
last settled so that work may begin
in few weeks, to the greatest sat-
isfaction of our citizens.

the distillation is carried on to dryness,

do not make any attempt to run on
time, and now that the sewer is be-

usually has to wait there fifteen or
twenty minutes for car. The car
runs UP to where the sewer has them
blocked and dumps you out in the
dark to wait for the next car to
