BOARD MEETS IN
VILLAGE THIS P. N.
Many Important Things Are
to Be Taken Up at West
Hammond Meeting.
SALOON LICENSES COME UP
Northern Indiana Gas Electric Light
Franchise May Be Taken
Up Soon.

The Improvement board of the West
Hammond Village board met this aft
ernoon in the village hall to open bids
for the improvements of two OF the
principal highways in West Hammond.
The bids are for a brick pavement in
155th street and 155th place The pave
ment is TO begin at the state line and
go as far as Burnham avenue. distance
a mile long.
It was found that only one bid had
been submitted and tie session was con-
tinued until two days from today.
1t is expected that at the regular
session of the village board next Thurs
day that the committee Oh saloon IL
censes win report in favor of the $500
annual saloon license, as prescribed by
the state law There is considerable
sentiment among the West Hammond
/ saloonkeepers against the measure. but
the state law is specific. and the only
! reason that the West Hammond saloon
Keepers have escaped for many years
with a $50 license is because former
administrations put liberal construe-
tion on the law. The state law con-
tains provision that in small towns
and villages the license shall be $3.50
| provided ony malt liquors are sod. This
woud exclude revenue and the strict
| enforcement of the law would take
! away big revenue producer from the
J saloonkeepers. Consequently the senti-
ment against a 5000 license

THINKS BOARD SHOULD
DEVOTE ALL OF ITS TINE
Ordinance Dealing With the
Board of Public Works
Given to Council.
DOCUMENT RAISES QUESTION
Alderman Becker Believes That City
Would Get More Benefits If
Carried Through.

In the estimation of Hammond's city
council 1t is preferable to have q
board OF public works with men of the
type like Messrs. Ebert, Schloer and
Davis devoting part Of their time to
the office at 81 600 a year than board.
the personnel of which is yet unknown,
devoting all of its time at $1,000.
BY silence the council at its regular
meeting last night approved Of the
manner in which the board of pub
lie works is now conducted on the ques-
tion Of time, and in an ordinance hxed
the salary of the board at $1,000 for
each member for the ensuing year.
Ordinance Raises Question.
The question as to how much time
the members of the board should de-
vote to their office was first raised last
night when in the course of the meet
ing Mayor Becker handed in an orr
dinance to the city clerk which pro-
vided that future board of public
works shah not have for its members
either the mayor or the city engineer;
that it shall be bipartisan in politics
and that its members should devote all
of their time to the Office. The only
comment on the ordinance after it had
been read came from Mayor Becker
and Councilman Becker Mayor Beck
er made the neutral suggestion that in
case the ordinance should be adopted
that it would be proper to give the
board members the limit in salary
which would he $1,000 for each mem
ber
Present system Retained.
Councilman Becker gave it as his
opinion that it would be more profita-
bic to the city to have the board de-
vote all of its time in as much as the
total difference in salary would be only
$500.
| The board under the present arrange
ments hold meeting three times a week,
/ the days for the meeting being Monday,
/ Wednesday and Friday. on these days
/ the regular sessions are held. although
| the members gather at the city hall ev-
cry morning at 9 o'clock TO meet such
t taxpayers as may have business with
then.
The ordinance was passed to its sec
ond reading and was followed by an
i other fixing the salaries of the mem
bers of the board at $1,000. This, too
went to its second reading.

Dyer PeopIe Interested.

The people OF Dyer and St John are
very much interested in the matter for
the reason they believe that the pas
sage of the franchise and the building
Of the line will have great deal to do
with increasing the value Of their
farms
The county commissioners went out
to the poor farm yesterday and checked
over the management. 1t is an inter
esting fact that the number of inmates
there has increased To surprising fig
ure lately.
Last fall there were only about for
ty-two inmates at the farm and now
there are seventy two. This is nearly
double the number in the brief space
OF a few months.
The county commissioners are unable
to explain the fact that so large a
number of the citizens of the county
have found it necessary to call upon
the county for support.
