ing been ineffective, Joseph Wall, a
teamster for George Prohl of South
Hammond, was arrested on the charge
of violating the city ordinance. Prohl
pleaded guilty for his hired man this
morning in the city court and paid a
dollar fine and costs
Prohl was given the minimum SEN
tence. but his case Is only one of a
series that the police may institute if
the nuisance is not abated. The prac-
tice is particularly offensive now that
the weather is opening up, and there
fore the police intend to be all the more
vigilant in this respect The attitude
of the police may not suit some of the
big team owners around town, but the
city ordinance is explicit, and as the
public has a right to demand its en-
forcement, Chief Austgen will enforce
it without playing favorites.

It seems that Emma and Ida were

according to Emma, who is fair and
fifty and unmarried by the way, she
had made demands upon Ida for the

AUSIGEn DEPLORES
LITTER ON STREETS
Suggests That Hammond at
Least Have Refuse Boxes
to Care for Waste Paper.

Why cannot the city OF Hammond or
the business district, at least. have re-
fuse boxes to take care of all the waste
paper which is otherwise permitted to
litter up the streets?
The suggestion is made in the in
terests of a clean city, the latest one
coming from Chief Austgen of the po-
lice department. Under the ordinances
Of the city the police must prohibit
anybody from throwing waste paper in
the streets, but the chief and his men
are loathe to insist on the ordinance
when the public has no place in which
to throw its refuse. A man carrying a
newspaper, for instance, for which he
has absolutely no further use is com
PEELED to carry it in his hands or pock-
ct If he would obey the ordinance.
whereas if a refuse box were placed
on some OF the principal corners he
could relieve himself Of his burden
without violating the ordinance by
throwing the paper into the gutter Aft
hceman has his eye on him.
City should Provide Boxes.
Chief Austgen was Of the opinion
that some of the merchants could help
out this city beautiful idea by exploit
ing the refuse box as an advertising
means. While waste paper may not be
mentioned specifically in the ordinance
providing for the disposal Of garbage.
the spirit OF the ordinance is neverthe-
less that no waste paper shall be
thrown about promiscuously. and in
asmuch as the city assumes and has
the power to regular. 1t would seem
primarily incumbent upon the city to
provide the refuse boxes. Until the
city sees fit to provide this accommo-
dation some public spirited citizens
could earn the lasting gratitude OF
| the lovers of a clean city by putting
up the boxes.
