Charles Friederichs is of the opinion
that it would be a bad policy to give
the mayor of Hammond the right to
pass on the qualifications of any man
for the business of running a saloon.

this city a car" said Mr.. Friederichs,
'.and he would be able to put all of
his political enemies out of the saloon
business
the rest of the saloonkeepers out of the
business and Hammond would become
a dry town. The trouble with the
plan is that it would start a warfare
between the saloonkeepers who are the
mayors friends and those who are not.
Says He Would Line Them Up.
Every campaign the mayor would

to sanction the granting of license to

1T would make the mayor the big

adding this to the power of appoint

Business Mems Association
of Hammond Meets in
February.

The next meeting of the Hammond
Business Mems association will be held
on the second Thursday of February.
The board of directors have not decided
what will be taken up at the next meet
ing.
1t is likely that the meeting will
be a big city beautiful session. Mr..
Johnston is now in communication with
an authority on the Identification of
cities, and it is possible that he will
be induced to come to Hammond and
lecture.
Another suggestion that has been
made is that representative Of the
Chicago Commercial club be induced to
come to Hammond and expalin the Chi
cago plan. of city building.
This plan is attracting a great deal
of attention all over the world, and in
view of Nthe fact that any Hammond
plan of city building must take into
consideration the Chicago plans. it is
thought that this would be a good
step

1t is proposed that the Hammond

Towle Opera House for the occasion,
and that tickets be issued free to those
who are interested in the problem of
beautifying Hammond and to those who
would be most likely to spread the gos-
pei of the city beautiful
It is believed that the Towle Opera
House could be filled to the roof If a
big attraction of the kind were secured
for Hammond and that the impetus
that would be given the city beautiful

would be sure to take some steps in

evidence in his opinion to assure
conviction. He is of the opinion that
he will be -al,le to secure conviction
in many of the cases that will come
before him.
Mr.. Greenwald says. by the way, that
there is a thing or two about some
Anti saloon League attorneys that
looks a. little peculiar. and that the peo-
pei who are criticising him for his al
legged friendliness to the saloonkeepers
should look into.
He claims that the attorneys repre-
senting the Anti Saloon League allowed
certain saloonkeepers in Lake county
who have bad regulations and who
have been guilty of gross violations of
the law to get their licenses without
opposition.

enforcement He is convinced that the
people of the cities of Hammond, East

meet with the approval of the people OF
