that it will take a week or ten days
before the matter is finally settled.
The job is a big one for the reason
that assessment of the damages will
have to be sread over all of the lots
between Plummer avenue and the
Schrum road.
A number of the pronerty owners
were present and made arguments in
regard to the benefits they were tore
ceive from their property. There is a
great deal of interest being taken in
the matter of the opening of this street
and there seems to be bat little dispo-
sition to block the proceeding.
After the assessments and damages
are finally determined and spread the
next step will be the publication of the
legal notices and in another month or
two the opening of the street should
be fact.

ana The blue prints have been pre-
pared and the plans have been COM

closure will contain the grand stand
and bleachers, the football and base
ball fields and the running track.
The swimming pool will also be in
the enclosure. 1t is expected that all
of the athletic meets and the more
important athletic games will be held
on this field. This will make it a
source of income to the club and will
be great advertisement to the city.

SADDLE
CLUB TO Be
STARTED

A movement is on foot which may
result in the formation of a saddle club
In Hammond. Mayor Becker is said to
be the prime mover in the enterprise
For some time he has been an en-
thusiastic horseman andf he has advo-
Gated the sport to those of his friends
who needed exercise.
Anton Taper then considered the
matter and others were invited to Join
a club of the kind. Among those who
are interested are Carl Bauer and John
Gavit
The matter has not gone beyond the
first stage of organization but 1t is
thought that there could be enough
persons interested in the sport to make
up club of large proportions.
1t Is the horseman's answer to the
invasion of the automobile. Whether
or not a club Is organized it is under
stood that there will be number of
Hammond business men who will buy
horses and take to horseback riding
this spring and summer.

NJ. ]. BROWN
DECIDES To
ENTER RACE

Mat j. Brown County Commissioner
OF Lake from the 3rd district has
reconsidered his determination not to
be a candidate again for the office
which he recently announced in letter
to the republican county organization
and declares that he will stand again
for reelection
Mr.. Browns earlier determination
not to run was purely because Of his
business interests and from the fact
that he refused to stand in the way of
any one elses candidacy.
When the news swept over the
county that he had decided to run so
insistent were the demands from Mr..
Browns constituents in the 3rd that
he again became a candidate that he
was forced to reconsider and after a
thorough canvass OF the situation de-
cided to again be a candidate for the
denomination on the republican ticket.
Mr. Brown will be a tower of strength
TO the ticket and his decision is hailed
with much satisfaction by members of
the party.

PROMISES
Jasper County People Also
Wondering When Prom

are becoming suspicious of Eugene
Purtelle, president of the Northwest

1t seems that Purttelle has made
great many promises that are not
materializing and the skeptics are all
saying, Il told you so. The sus-
picion is party due to the fact that
Purtelle told one story in one town
and another in the next.
