Attorney Has AL
ready Taken Steps to Have
Globe Station Stink Fac
tory Stop Polluting Air
With Vile Odors.

1t is peculiar coincidence that At
torney l. l. Bomberger has already
taken steps to have the odor nuisance
abated when the Hammond Business
Mems association placed him on the
committee to see what could be done
TO prevent the National Rendering Co.
at Globe Station. from pollutfng the
Hammond atmosphere
Bomberger discovered land owner
in Cook county who is a lawyer and
who agreed TO take legal steps in the
courts there TO put stop TO the trou-
BILE. Bomberger says he has discovered
that the Illinois laws are adequate in
such cases.
However If no action is taken in Ill
inois 1t is probable that a case will be
started in the federal courts by which
the National Rendering Co. may be re-
strained from allowing the odors to
escape.
Numerous instances are cited in
which people have been made very sick
by the nauseous odors which escape
from that locality
1t is expected that Bomberger will
now meet with the other attorneys
who have been appointed on the anti
smell committee and take up the ques-
tion of starting legal action against
the offending company.

granted by Judge Willis c. Mcmahon

HEAT HITS
THE REGION

The heat is still oppressive in the re
gion and in every city people are suf-
fering from the excessive humidity. Sa
far as can be learned there have been
no heat prostrations.
Ice tea has appeared in all of the
restaurants and the fans that for
months have been relegated to the
closets are now being worked with a
vengence.
The haberdashers have been doing a
land office business, the ice man is
happy and the coal man disconsolate.
The wind today shirted around to the
west and there are some signs of a
change in the weather.
Yesterday was said TO be the hottest
day of the year.
