tract, Lund Drops Out. Eder Bid
For Frontage Rescinded

The withdrawal of the only Lake
County bid on the contract for the
construction of Hammond's proposed
Industrial High school, last night at
the meeting of the board of education,
upset all calculations on the order Of
things in connection, and brought
about situation which is interest
ing.
Eric Lund of Hammond whose bid
was $4,000, withdrew at the last
minute ostensibly because of diff
culties with his bondsmen owing to
his low bid, leaving the the field to
Caldwell and Drake of Columbus,
Ind, the next highest bidders.
Caldwell & brakes bid was $2z2,
440, and because of the shift of cir

Three hundred and sixty-five thou
sand dollars for new manual training
high school in Hammond is too much
money to spend. When the new build
ing is built and the present high school
building is converted into a grade
school it will not increase the grade
school facilities of the city by more
thanea few rooms.
THE result will be that the school
city will be tied up with bonded in
debtedness that will make it impossi-
BILE to build other grade schools over
the city as they are needed, and the
first thing we know there will be hun
dreds of school children without the
facilities for securing an elementary
education while the city is boasting of
a manual training high school equipped
with swimming pools, fine auditoriums,
gymnasiums and other things that are
unnecessary at this time.

port that q member of the force was
close to an alleged burglar in a house

Chief Bell claims that If the affair

URGES CLUB WOMEN TO
AID WOMEN PRISONERS,
Probation Officer Gascoyne AID.
dresses Contemporary Club.

John J. Gaseoyne, probation officer
OF Essex county, in an address before
the members of the Contemporary CLUB
IN the parlors of the South Park Pres
byterian Church today, urged club
women to aid in reforming the present
system of dealing with prisoners. Mr..
Gascoyne laid particular stress ON the
Fact that nothing is being done at the
present time to reclaim those unfor-
tunate women who have violated their
probation.
At the expiration of their Jail sem
fences they are turned back into the
world, he declared, no more fitted to
cope with its conditions than they were
When they were sent to prison. The
speaker urged the formation of an or
~ganization which would have for it's
aim the proper care of these women
as they leave the prisons and the re-
formatories. He cited cases of the ex.
tremes to which some of the women
were driven after being given their
liberty, and declared that the custom
in prison of making TRUSTEES of pris-
oners who behaved was a bad one, as
the influence of these TRUSTEES was not
good.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Gascoyne's
address Mrs. Samuel Clark, president
of h Contemporary Club, introduced
he Rev, Adolph Roeder, Of Orange,
who spoke on the subject, 1.-THE City
as a Factor in Social Life
DR.. Roeder warmly seconded the
recommendations of MI. Gascoyne and
urged the women to take up such a
movement as had been outlined. He
