JOB BIDDER
Board of Education Will
Hold Meeting Tonight
Bicknell Says 100000 For
Additions Is Necessary If
New School Isn't Built.

The school board holds its adjourned
meeting this evening to pass on the bids
no-that have been submitted for the
construction of the new building. Eric
Lund is the lowest bidder and the con-
tract will in all probability go to him
If action will be taken in the matter
at all.
1t will depend on the bids whether
the board will sell the Central school
property this evening There is a
probability that the sale will be com
pleted If A. Murray Turner stands bv
his original offer al $50 per front foot.
Should there be no bidder for the whole
of the property the board will in all
probability take the matter under ad-
visement to let bidders come in for
parts of the property In twenty five
and fifty foot lots.
The board is determined to sell the
property, as this is considered the best
way to raise the necessary money for
the proposed industrial high school
Henry Bicknen, member of the school,
board, said today that unless Hammond
would build the new school it woulo
become necessary for the board tc
spend in the neighborhood of 800, ,OOt
within the next few years in the en-
| largement of some of the old ware
school. and that at that time the ques

SENSATION
At BANQUET

A sensation was created in Gary
this morning when the Chicago Exami-
ner appeared with a lengthy account
of the w. P. Gleason banquet at the
Stratford hotel, Chicago, last Saturday
night.
The basis of the story was that
lightly clothed "Salome" girls enlivened
the occasion with their dances.
While it is admitted that dancing
girls were present. some of those who
attended the affair declare that the
dances came within the bounds of pro-
priety and that the dance was an ex-
hibition of true art. Other ofhclals
however, say that they were spicy anc
made the affair one long to be remem-
bered.
The Chicago Examiner prints the fol
lowing story this morning:
In strange contrast to the emphati'
denial of the management of the STRAIT

IS DECISION

Eugene Purtelle must be eliminated
from the Northwestern Indiana Trac-
tion Co. That is the decision that was
reached at the conference of the stock
holders of the line in Hammond Sat-
urday. There was no action taken to
eliminate him. 1t was merely taken
by consent. The pruning process was
left for a later day.
And after having disposed of Mr..
Purtelle the next question was. What
shall be done with the Northwestern
Indiana Traction Coz" Many of those
present believe that the project is
feasible. They said. Under the old
regeime we would have put up the
money to build the line and Purtelle
would have SKINNED off the gravy
Purtelle has failed, because the peo-
people did not have confidence in him
Let's reorganize the company, build the
line ourselves and make the money

COUNCILS TO
ASK FOR REPEAL
Hammond CounCilmanic Body at a
Fighting Boards of Public Works


Some Of the members of the Ham
mond city council met at the Hotel
Carleton yesterday for the purpose
Of organizing their opposition to the
law under which the board Of public
works is given exclusive power to
initiate legislation.
The meeting was attended by both
republicans and democrats and
Henry Whitaker was elected presi-
dent of the organization while Con-
rad MarkmuIler was elected secre-
tary. The non-partisan nature OF
the organization is indicated by the
fact that a republican is president
and democrat secretary.
Another meeting will be held in a
few days at which a constitution and
bylaws will be adopted and the asso-
citation will be named. Its members
expect to enlist the support of coun-
cilmen in all of the other cities of the
Calumet region and create a fund suf-
ficient to maintain a competent lobby
at Indianapolis as long as is neces-
sary.
