Dupuy fell back as though struck by
a violent blow. And, indeed, he and his
interests would have every reason TO
believe, he now knew full well, that
they had in all truth a new enemy to
combat, an enemy that would cost
them dearly if he were to be van
pushed.
"You-you are Jerry Dolan, and you
own the Advance" the lawyer cried
chokingly. What are we coming to
next?' he finally managed to say after
a desperate effort to calm himself.
Jerry Nolan. for none other than the
old time strike leader it was, enriched
by his mining operations in the rock

realization that he was now in posi-

and souls of those who had attempted

The voice of Nolan came TO his ears
above the ticking of the telegraph in

This would certainly be a pleasant an

z We would become liable for East
Chicagos debts and numerous bad con-
tracts
D. Our present councflmen and other
city officers would be legislated out of
office and no longer be permitted to rep
resent the people who elected Them
4. We would be divided into wards
with q councilman from each TO rep
resent US. or none. and may be made
a part of one of the present wards in
East Chicago as 1T Common Council
sees fit.
5. We would not be represented on
the basis of our population which is
the only equitable basis.
6. Some say at the next election we
could elect our own citizens to the re-
spective offices, which may be true as
to the mayor, city clerk and treasurer.
but our alternate representation
would continue the same.
2. East Chicago would very natural
ly hold the balance of power which she
would guard closely.
s. We would have to pay more for
our public improvements as East Chi

9. Our schools and school fund. nre.

10. Our taxes would be collected and
expended to the Improvement of East
Chicago and ourselves neglected.
IL. East Chicago has always been
extravagant and intudicious in expend-

In conclusion, what would we receive

cause OF political defeat and who are
willing to "cut of their noses TO spite
| their faces say that It Will cost US
less in the way of salaries. What do
you think about this? Don't you think

and we would receive less considera-

| one talks about annexation II does not
mean amalgamation. but something en-
ltirely different.

ter any thought They thought that
when the time came there would be
sufficient time to appropriate the
money.
MAYOR BECKER'S ANSWER.
To this Mayor Becker explained that
If money is appropriated at this time
that it could be used onl yfor one pur-
pose or else revert back to the general
fund. Mayor Becker suggested to
Markmueller and Hover that they
might have the appropriation cut down
to $500. City Attorney John Gavit was
at the meeting and told the council that
Hammond would be fortunate in get
ting away with one thousand dollars
that the probabilities are that East Chi
cago would probably have to pay the
firm of Pam and Hurd ten to fifteen
thousand dollars. It is thought that
there will be enough councilmen this
evening to vote in favor OF the $1,000
appropriation.
CENSUS r ODE TAKEN.
Another appropriation ordinance for
$500 was carried without a dissenting
vote from those present. 1t was intro
duced by Mayor Becker who explained
that the money was to be used to de-
fray expenses of a census in Hammond
taken by the city. The reason for this
he said was to have a check against
the national census. In another ordi-
nance provision was made for the ap-
pointment OF one census taker for each
