BANK STATEMENT SHOWS
BIG INCAEASE IN BUSINESS

The bank statement of the Hammond
Savings and Trust company. published
in The TINES today, shows an increase
In the amount of business. which is
highly gratifying TO its officers and
patrons.
It is reasonable to believe that with
the increase in business Is partly at
trtbutab bic TO the return of good
times but it is highly probable that
some Of it is due to Walter Ham
mond's connection with the institu-
tion as a cashier. Comparative re-
ports show that since his connection
with the bank the deposits have in
creased by approximately $4,000. The
increase of business since the last pub

'DR. SW|TzER GIVES
HIS SIDE OF STORY

In regard to the story of the alleged
concealment of property from taxation
on the part of DR.. G. w. Switzer. the
Courier of Lafayette says:
DIR. George w. Swltzer feels that the
article in yesterdays Courier regard
ing taxes said to be owing by him does
him great injustice. because it did
not state all of the facts as they ac-
tually exist. DR. Switzer says he never
concealed or sequestered any proper
~ from taxation. When he was liv-
ing in West Lafayette the Baker-Vaw-
ter company, in which he holds stock.
and which is said TO have been omitted
from taxation, had a manufacturing
plant in Indiana. When the assessor
came around TO assess DR. Switzer he
reported that he owned stock in this
company, and gave all the facts re-
garding it to the as ssessor. The assess
or refused to assess any of the stock
OF DIR. Switzer inasmuch as the com
pany had a manufacturing plant in
Indiana, and the property OF that plant
was assessed TO the company, and Dr.
Switzer was advised that under those
circumstances the stock was not as
sessed in his hands. After DR.. Switzer
returned to Lafayette from Laporte
when considering the matter OF the as
sessment of his property. he went 10
the county assessor and the county at
torney and advised them of the facts
regarding the stock and the existence
of the manufacturing plant in Indiana.
and was Informed by the county at
torney that under the circumstances
the stock was not taxable to him, as
the company was paying taxes on it's
corporate property in Indiana About
two years after DR.. Switzer's return to
Lafayette the company removed Its
manufacturing plant from Indiana. and
after that when DR.. Switzer reported
his property for taxation he reported
both his own and the stock of his wife
In the company and placed valuation
on it of $4,000. which was more than
the assessor wanted TO take it for. 1t

ObJecting to overstoring.

In connection with the sentiment
that has been aroused among the coal
men of Hammond who found IT futile
TO bid against the successful bidder. al
though they are said to have offered
to deliver the coal practically at cost.
there has been opposition on the board
itself by Il. NJ Bicknell, the republican
member Of the board. who objected
against storing unnecessarily large
amount OF coal
The whole matter has been long ques-
toned among certain taxpayers. and
the evidence of overstorfng a poor
grade of coal now breaks out with re-
newed discussion, owing to these two
cases OF spontaneous combustion.
