events of the holiday week occurred
last Friday evening when Mr.. and Mrs

from now instead of taking fair price
for their holdings.
1t is said that there is no place be-
tween the river and the Nickel Plate
railroad tracks that would be suitable
for site. And the board members
say that if any one can suggest a site
that would be nearer the corners of Sohl
and State streets or Calumet avenue
and State street they would be very
pleased to give the suggestion their
careful consideration.
1t is "a difficult problem. Hammond
is so cut to pieces by railroads and
railroad yards that there is hardly a
desirable location in the city for any
thing in tn, way of public building.
Think 1t Over.
However, the members of the board

city get to thinking about this ques-

posed 100000 manual training high

able to hit upon the proper idea for a
location.
According to Attorney ]. G. Ibach, a
member of the board of education, it

of the city.
Such cities as Richmond and An

training schools as sort of public acad-

The problem of finding site for the
new manual training high school, to be
built in Hammond in the near future,
is one that is causing the board of
education considerable worry In fact.
the board Is at the point of saying, Il
pass, and is ready to listen to any
suggestions that the good people of
Hammond have to offer. A site for the
new school building must come up to
the following specifications:
/. 1t must he as near as possible to
the center Of population of Hammond
fifteen years hence. The geopraghical
center of the city should be consid-
cred
g. 1t must be located on main street
and on a car line for this new high
school building will have to serve q
city of 100000 inhabitants, covering
an area of thirty to forty square miles
in fifteen years.
g. The site must be at least a block
in area and must not cost more than
$4,000 to $4,000.
~ A. The school board of Hammond pos
itively refuses to be held up by any of
the citizens who would like to sell
their ground for such a 1audable pur-
pose, but want fortune for their hold
ings.
One Effort Fails.
1t is said that an effort was made
to secure a location in the rear of
the public library, but the property
owners in the neighborhood wanted so
much for their property that the site
would have cost the city 100000 to $780,
900. The people who own the shacks
in the block. that it was proposed to
purchase, will probably be collecting
