DEFENDS The
PIPE He LAID

Contractor w f. Brunt. who has the
contract for the Laying of 1S-inch
sewer in Jackson street, says that the
board of public works alleged un-
called for discrfuaina1ion against the
pipe that he was about TO lay is caus-
ing him an unnecessary delay in the
completion of his work Mr.. Brunt feels
that the objection to this particular
pipe is uncalled for, inasmuch as the
board permitted him to lay 1900 feet
of it in Ames avenue last week. AS
result of the delay, Jackson street is
dug up with four-foot ditch running
down the center of the street. The
boards objection to the pipe is that it
is second grade. whereas the specifica-
tions eall for first grade.

WEST HAMMOND
Douglas Avenue Pavement
Is Said to Be Rapidly
Disintegrating.

The people of Douglas avenue, West
Hammond. are indignant over the con-
dition of the pavement which was laid
only this spring.
The pavement Is a macadam street
with a concrete curb. The curb is ap-
parently well laid. but the pavement is
already going to pieces. In places the
top dressing of stone has been removed
and there are already large holes in the
street.
In fact, 1T is little better than a turf
road and although 1t has not been in
use a year. it is already badly in need
of repairs The people along this street
expected to have good pavement, but
they now expect TO have to replace it in
four or five years.

DR.. w. D. Weis, Secretary of
Hammond Board of Health
Ridicules Story Published
in Gary Paper Regarding
Typhoid at Lake Front.

The Gary Tribune which has been
consistently attempting to prevent any
semblance of good feeling between the
cities of Hammond and Gary, in its
issue of yesferdas Isststess scolurnn to
warning its readers against the drink
ing water of Hammond especially that
al the Lake Front Park. For the pres
ent Gary does not happen to be so
fortunate as Hammond in having a
Lake Front Park. and Gary people ac-
cepting the invitation of Hammond to
visit the little park at Robertsdale has
seemingly aroused an insane jealousy
in the Tribune editor.
DR. w. D. Weis, secretary of the
Hammond board of health was inclined
to ignore the puerile paving Of The
Tribune as absurd. but gave the fol-
lowing facts and figures.
Since January 1st, there have been
less than Is cases of typhoid in Ham
mond, this figure including those who
have been al the local hospital from
surrounding cities.
Facts and Figures.
In June there one death due to
typhoid, this having been a person
years old.
In July there was one death due to
typhoid boy nine years old.
At the present time there are four
cases of typhoid within the city limits.
Three of these are in the hospital and
one of the three is an Illinois case the
patient being~from Hegewisch.
These figures speak for themselves
to as Hammond having little typhoid
trouble The statement coming from
Gary that Gary people contracted ty-
phoid from drinking water at the Lake
Front is simply absurd, unless Gary
people are more susceptible than other
people of the region. It would seem
to me that Gary has enough to do to
sweep before its own door in stead of
attempting to shift the burden onto
Hammond for condition that appar-
emily exists in Gary.
