Law Abiding City for Twen-
ty-four Hours Deserv-
ing of the Emblem.
ALL, ALL IS PEACE
Not Even Plain Drunk to Mar the
Quiet Of Several Gliding
Hours.

Pin the white rose on the dress
jackets OF the metropolitan police
force or this city. for in twenty-four
hours. the municipality or Hammond
has been free from even the slightest
disorder. and not even report has
been sent in from the officers on duty
to mar the beautiful quiet of the fine
June day. Not a wheel stirred from
I.3o o'clock Friday until late this af-
ternoon and the only thing that was
new at the police station was Sec
retary Charlie See. returned from his
vacation. and an ice water cooler. IN
stalled by Captain Bunds this morn
ing.
The unusual quiet astounded the
whole force from Chief Rimbach down
the line, as for the past few weeks
there was business enough for all. and
more too. While other cities. larger
and smaller in population and territory
were reveling I'm crime. drunkenness
and accidents, nothing occurred to mar
the serenity OF Hammond. Last night
the streets were full OF people as usual,
business went on at the same old
stands and Hammond did not present
any different appearance from any
other week day night.
Nary a Rise.
But as it turned out, not luckless
individual took too much aboard al
though the weather was hot. and so
the drunk record was squashed. The
temper and equanimfty OF the popu-
lace was not disturbed although the
starch disappeared from the immacu-
late shirt front during the heat Of
yesterday and today. and straw bats
were at a premium. With the air full
of delayed strike rumors and charged
with stories of the rise of food pro-
i ducts. one would naturally think that
at least Bill Jones OF the north siaz
would mix with Tom Smith OF the
south side as they discussed the sit
uations over their evening tub OF suds
and get thrown into the limelight
but no such thing happened.
So the police are joyful and the
good citizens OF Hammond proud that
they have such clean municipality
where $4,000 people live in peace and
harmony with themselves. their wives
and families. and for that reason 8
delegation of citizens are TO pin q
white rose. meaning purity. on the
coats OF the executive force OF tho
city. Even Judge McMahan felt the
sway Of quiet and continued what few
continued cases came before him until
some future day.

Does Raft of Business Be
sides Making the Court
House Appropriation
VATER NOT PRESENT
Council Favors Bridge Improvement
North Township Trustees Alb
sence Prevents Action.
Especial to Lake County Timea.)

Crown Point, June 22.-The county
council yesterday. as announced in THE
TIMES, paved the way for the remodel
ing of the court house here. by appro-
priating $4,000 with which to carry
out the plans designed by Architect
Beers. The appropriation was carried
after a long and bitter fight lasting
several hours, in which opposing fac
tions in the council locked horns and
refused to recede from their position,
blocking the way to several urgent
improvements in the county. Under
the present law an appropriation can
not be passed on the same day 1t is
received by the board but must lie over
to the following day for action.
At the meeting Thursday the various
appropriations were asked and during
the intervening time an understanding
was reached whereby the measures
could be passed with little trouble. The
vote on the court house appropriation
was passed by the following vote:
Yes-Charles G. Wicker, Henry See
hausen. Otto Hildebrandt, Frank Schar-
bach and Lewis Pattee. No-Albert

were also passed:

The appropriation of $4,000 as an ad-
ditionai sum to build the Columbia ave-
nue. bridge at Hammond was laid over
to the regular meeting in September.
1t had been understood by some of the
council that the Hammond, Whiting s,
East Chicago Street Railway company
would Immediately occupy the Colum-
bia avenue bridge with their lines as
soon as the structure was completed,
and while it was the unanimous opin-
ion Of the board that the appropriation
was badly needed and should be pass
ed. il was thought best to hold the
matter UP for j time in the hope that
arrangements could be made whereby
the street ear company would pay
either for the use OF the bridge or con-
tribute something towards its main
tainence.
The members Of the council appeared
much in favor OF the Improvement and
would have passed it yesterday, it Is
said. had there been anyone from Ham
mond with the authority to assure them
that the city council would make an
effort to protect the county's interests
in the granting of franchises. 1t will
be but short time when new bridges
will have TO be built over the Calumet
river at Holman street and Calumet
avenue. and while the board is ready
TO pass appropriations for these when
ever public necessity demands il, they
also feel that the street car people
should not be granted free and unre-
stricted use of the structures.
