The new plant Of the Hammond
Brewing company is now practically
completed and the work of brewing

The men are now at work installing

George Eder. one Of the stockholders
in the new company said today that
the prospects for the new company are
very bright The business that is be-
ing done at the present time is very
gratifying. and when the new plant is
running it is expected that the beer
will be SO much better that the busi-
ness will Immediately jump to large
proportions.
The Hammond Brewing company is

so near the. city Of Hammond and is SO
largely controlled By Hammond and
Lake county capital that It may be said

Hammond bases its claim to indust-

a great diversity Of Industries. Should
there be a great panic the first indust-

is the steel industry.

OF DISTRESSING ACCIDENTS

the switch engine struck the car with
out any warning, and he was thrown
intosone corner of the car, where he
broke a rib. His injuries were at
tended by Dr. B. W. Chidlaw. The
accident Is said to have happened on
the Michigan Central side track.
Jan Zybo, living in the Standard

ment in Norton avenue, last night. and
sprained his ankle so badly that a
tendon was twisted He was assist
ed to his home in one of the company
boarding houses and will spend his
Christmas in bed, according to the doc
tor attending him. A singular fact in
connection with the Standard Steel Car
plant is that four of it's employees have
met death in one shape or another late
ly. and there is consequently much
sadness in the east part of Hammond
during the holidaytide.

USE SAWDUST
OR SAND ON WALKS

The suggestion has been made
and it is a valuable one-that
the merchants put sawdust or
sand on the ice in front Of their
places Of business, thus possibly
saving some person serious in
jury. Salt damages cement walks,
but sand and sawdust will not
have any effect, exceyting to make
it possible to walk on slippery
places. Sand is much >aper and
obtainable for the asking in all the
cities of the Calumet region.

GATHER At
SESSION
Councilmen Decide That
Present System of Board
of Public Works Business
Is Good Enough, and SO
Acts Officially.

The Hammond city council last night
at its regular meeting decided that
the manner in which the office of the

the question Of time devoted to the Of
fee is satisfactory, and when the or
dinance to regulate this matter for the
ensuing year came up the council
voted to retain the present system.
William Newman gave 1t as his opinion
that the members of the board ought
to spend eight hours day in the Of
fee.
BECKER Questions Point.
Mayor Becker in answered asked
whether it would be possible to get
valuable men who would devote all
their time to the office for salary
such as the law allows. John Pascaly

/ be retained and the motion was Sec
! onded by John Kane. The ordinance
was adopted, and in a following ordi-
nance the salary was fixed at $1,000 a
year.
