LAKE COUNTY CITIES HEAR
THE BEST NEWS EVER

river will be the next thing for the
general gov or4n1ent to permit to insure
pure water for Chicago.
The total population affected by
this legislation In Chicago and other
cities on the lake is between 100000
and 10000 1t is the most important
proposition affecting Chicago that has
been in congress for years. 1t is aolng
the lines of the probable action of con-
gress favoring regulations throughout
the country in the interest of good
health and the prevention of disease
Dr. Weis after reading the news
said this morning:
Mile Breakwaters Needed.
IT am pleased to see the progress
that has been made. I am familiar
with the provisions as it embodies our
formal request which we made to the
War department last year.
PERSONALLY l had hoped that no
dumping what ever would be permitted
into the lake. excepting behind break
waters, but half a loaf is better than
nothing for you remember 1 pre-
scented affdavits to Major Marshall
] showing that dumping had taken place
within a few hundred feet of our water
intake which is only about 1900 feet
| from the shore line.
with so much low lands about Chi
cago which win eventually need to be

on land and have our mosquito incu-

representatives in congress, requesting

News of an act OF incalcu1able value
to the health of the Lake County cities
came from Washington in the dis
patches announcing that the Mann bill,
prohibiting the dumping of dredgings
near the water intake had been report
ed in congress, by the interstate COM
merce commission. This is the meas
ure for which the Lake Michigan SAM
tary Commission of whicln the secre-
taries board of healths of the Lake
County cities are members. had worked
so hard and on which a committee in
Guiding DR.. w. D. weis of Hammond
had visited the War department in
Washington last year.
The bill will probably pass without
opposition.
Would Remedy Big Fault.
The bill provides that dredges and
other refuse must be carried more than
eight miles out into the lake or else
deposited behind the breakwaters near
the shore. 1t applies to the water front
of Cook county. Illinois, and Lake coun-
ty, Indiana.
The war department now is pollutinf
the water supply of Chicago by dump
ing river and harbor dredgings be-
tween the shore and the cribs. The de-
partment however, has agreed to cease
this If the proposed law is enacted.
Outside of the dumping of dredgings
the only pollution of the lake now
comes from the Calumet river. This
situation cannot be rernedied until the
flow of the Calumet river is reversed
in connection with the proposed auxil-
larry drainage channel and legislation
to that end has been proposed.
Mann Explains Measure.
IF we pass the BILL said Chairman
Mann of the committee the author OF
the measure, lit will prevent any con
tamination of the water supply of Chi.

The matter was referred to the street
and alley committee
street Matters.
Mayor Becker brought up the ques-
ton of street sprinkling He told
the councilmen that they must pre-
pare to make an appropriation for the
sprinkling of the street intersections.
He said further that oil men had al
ready made the city an offer to spirit
kle the streets with oil, and that they
estimated that half a gallon of oil
would sprinkle a yard of road. The
probabilities are, however that the
sprinkling this year would be done
with water.
Councilman John Kane in a motion
asked that a night Waterman be placed
on the Monon and Erie crossings at
Conkey avenue.
Ordinances were passed granting
the county commissioners jurisdiction
to pave Sheffield avenue from Gostlin
street to Harrison boulevard, Column
bia avenue from State street TO Gostlir
street, and Chicago avenue from Hob
man street to Bearing avenue.

The money will be used for two pur-
poses First, 1T will be necessary to go
to the next encampment with large
delegation of business men from Ham
mond- These men will have to be sup
piled with lot of literature explaining
the advantages of Hammond and it's
splendid railway and interurban facili-
ties.
They will then be compelled to start
a campaign among the old soldiers in
favor of Hammond. 1t is proposed to
have buttons bearing the inscription.

will be pinned on every old soldier who
will wear one.
If Hammond secures the encamp-
ment 1t will attract state wide atten-
ton and will be one of the greatest
events in the history OF the city. If
the local business men are thwarted in
their efforts the city will receive a
great deal of valuable advertising. 1t

ELLIOTT DESERVES CREDIT.
The business men of the city are al
ready greatly enthused over the matter
and they will make an effort to demon
strate the fact that when Hammond

usually lands it.
Hammond will be greatly handi-
