Land.

Rose Sheerer. aged IS. and George,
her brother. aged AZ years, en- route
from Germany to Los Angeles, Cal,

TRUSTEE SAYS MEETING
WAS IMPORTANT ONE
Returning North Township
Official Tells of Work at
Indianapolis.

A -codiication of the Indiana trus-
tees law eliminating some of the
features of the present law and Civ
ing the new one more elasticity is
thing that the Indiana State Trustees
association decided to ask OF the next
legislature.
John c. Becker, trustee of North
township, secretary of the state or
ganization. said today that the meet
ing last week at indianapolis, while
not so largely attended some 9TH
ers, was nevertheless equally as i'm
portant.
Among other things the trustees
want is the red tape eliminated which
now surrounds the handling of the
poor fund This is strictly a township
fund and yet the fund is handled in a
way through the county auditor. The
association went on record against the
road tax system which now provides
that this can be worked out. The trus-
tees believe that this system is open
to crooked tactics. The office of road
supervisor is to become an appointive
office, the road supervisor to be ap-
pointed by the trustee instead of being
elected. The proposed law also pro-
vides that the trustees shall receive a
reasonable salary, the present So a day
allowance being out of all proportion
compared to former years.

may escape. The trial of the cases will
commence Immediately at the present
session of the circuit court and the
evidence introduced by a number OF
witnesses promises to be sensational in

WANT
HANDSOME
CHURCH

The members of the Presbyterian
church in Hammond are laying plans
which may lead to the building of a
new church in this city that will be the
equal of any church in. the city.
There are two plans under consfd-
Grafton. One is to- remodel the old
building, raise 1t so that a basement
can be put under tl1e present church
and make many needed repairs.
The other is to sell the present
church property, secure lot in a
more prominent location and build an
entirely new church. 1t is estimated
that the old church property would
sell for more than enough to buy a
new lot and that the money for the
building of new church could be east
1y raised.
The Presbyterian church in this city
has in its membership and numbers
among its patrons some of the wealth.

BOARD
WILL PUT
UP FIGHT

Henry Bicknell was informed that
steps were being taken by certain
State street property owners to enjoin
the sale of the Central school prop
erty for the reason that they feared
it would hurt State street as a busi-
ness center
We are prepared for such a contin-
gency. said Bicknell, and we will
give them the fight of their life The
school board is empowered to buy and
sell real estate as it sees fit, and while
they may delay matters somewhat, 1
do not believe they can stop us
Il am convinced that the vast ma
jority of the people of the CITY OF
Hammond want the Central school
property sold and that it is only a few
selfish and short-sighted people on
East State street who are threatening
the trouble.
The city of Hammond has bought a
fine piece of property for the purpose
of building manual training school,
and we do not propose to be hampered
in our work by few barnacles who
would like to do with this project as
they did when the project for locating
