industrial progress of the region should
be selected"
For the first few months, or until
the legislature meets, the amalgamated
city will have to get along with the
present form OF city government, but
that can be remedied later by securing
a charter from the state legislature"
What steps have been taken to fight
the matter. out? was the question that
was next put to Mayor Schlieker.
I'VE have not gone into this matter
without the most careful ocnsidera-
ton" said the mayor. and r may say
that 1 am confident that the amalgama-
ton program will go through. 1 have
found q surprising sentiment in favor
of the project
You may ne assured" he continued
that 1 would not have gone into this
matter If 1 had not been reasonably
certain shat the plan is feasible and
that there is good prospect of sue
cessfui consummation.'
The mayor talked like a man who
knew what he was doing, and those
who remember the campaign he made
in East Chicago during the last election
when there were several factions op-
posing his election, expect him to give
a good account of himself in the coming
contest.
While no steps have been definitely
taken in the matter ii Is understood
that the East Chicago city council will
retain Attorney Hurd of the Chicago
firm OF Pam and IIurd, and a good local
attorney to represent it in this matter.

have excited considerable interest as
would also the letter from the Inter-

| the council by Charles E. Fowler, but
these things were lost sight of in the
shadow of the all absorbing annexa-
ton measure. The matter Of extend
ling the street was refused to the
street and alley committee with tho
city attorney. and the gist of the IN
terstate Commerce commissfon's LETTER
was that the question was out of that
body's jurisdiction and should be re-
ferred to the Indiana State Railway
commission at Indianapolis. After the
meeting adjourned the city officials
celebrated the occasion by adjourning
to Morrel1's for a little lunch and great
was the joy manifested by every one
there.
Both East Chicago and Indiana Har-
Dor are on their tip toes waiting to

GARY COUNCIL HOLDS AN
IMPORTANT MEETING LAST EVE,

The council last night heard the re-
port of the committee which was APP
pointed to investigate the frozen fire
hydrants at the time of the fire in the
Ohio building. The committee COM
posed of Councilmen Feuer, Rowley
and Szymanski briefly placed the re-
sponsibility on the Gary Heat, Light &
Water company. claiming that 1t was
the duty of that company in accord
ance with their ordinance to keep the
hydrants in proper condition.
This report was supplemented with
a lengthy recommendation governing
the conduct of the fire department
Chief among these was the plan to es-
Ttablish an apprenticeship on the de.
partment for a term of six months aft
ef which the fireman would be pro-
NOTED. 1t also recommended the es-
tablishment of an assistant fire chief
The report of the committee was laid

The peculiar incident in connection
with the report is that it was first ac-
copied and then after the amount to be
paid the cadets was determined upon.

telling where they will stop.
Although the question OF annexing
Hammond and Whiting to East Chi
cago has been freely discussed in the
various cities for some time. the coun-
ellis action last night was a complete
surprise to nearly everybody present
at the meeting. When Clerk Walter
Spencer began reading the annexation
ordinance men in the audience first be-
gan to exchange giances and then as
the full impart of the matter began to
pucolate through their heads gem
|eral smile ensued. and by the time he
had ntshed every body NTH room was
laughing, not because they thought it
was joke, but because they were
glad. after the ordinance had been
read Alderman Monroe Schock moved
to suspend the rules and pass the
measure at its first reading. which was
done, and Hammond was then and
there made a part of East Chicago
temporarily at least.

Next came the Whiting ordinance
and this was put through the same
process except that Alderman Thomas
Buckley made the necessary motion
In few minutes after the action
had been taken the news was carried
down the street. and was the sole
topic of conversation until late in the
night. Nothing that any board of aid

ment in East Chicago. as the proceed

to have met with general approval
What Hammond and Whiting are go

TO be seen, but 1t Is believed here
