Mr.. w. w. Thomas, secretary of the
Hammond Manufacturers Association.
has sent letters to every manufacturer
in Hammond asking him to be present
at the meeting which will be held to-
morrow night.
W. b. Conkey. president Of the Manu-
facturers' Association. said. today The
increase is outrageous and is a rank
discrimination against the city of Ham
mond and in favor of the manufactur-
ing cities of Illinois.
Il received a circular two days ago
announcing the increase and at once
called a meeting of the association. To-
day am going into Chicago to have a.
talk with the president of the Monon
and expect to be loaded for the meet
ing tomorrow night.
II understand that the increase has
been authorized by the Interstate Com

Hammond should fight the increase to
a finish and 1 believe they have the
weapon with which to do the lighting"
IF the city council OF Hammond

property owners, who have some very
progressive ideas about improving their
property by good and permanent i'm

attain their wishes. One of the things
mainly desired by them are WAYS and

the block just north of Gostlin street.
Most of the property owners feel
that in the course of time, some busi-

and they will then erect their buildings
as close to the lot line az possible and
In that way shut off the view to the
residences in the block. To get a build
Ind line on record so as to keen all
buildings four feet from the lot line
is one of the problems, and the board
OF public works has agreed to take it
up with the city attorney. 1t is un-
derstood that practically all the prop

few who cannot see the advantage of
this plan would be satisfied by estab-
fishing a lot line.

CLUB
IS HIT THE
HARDEST

+ The Tolleston Gun Club and Susan
Clough. owners of a large amount Of
acreage south of Gary have appealed
from the decision OF the board of Pc
view of Lake County which has in
creased their assessment 400 percent
over the valuation that was placed on
1t four years ago.
These are the only appeals that have
been taken from the board and it is
now too late for the property owner 70
make any further appeals from his as
sessment.
The county officials are prepared to
go to Indianapolis and appear before
the state board of tax commissioner in
effort to make these assessments
stand.
The Tolleston Gun Club is the owner
of over 1900 acres of land south of
Gary and Susan Clough. the wife of
John II. C1ough. diseased, is the owner
of 900 acres. This land is all swamp
land located along the Little Calumet
river.
The Lake County times. [volume] (Hammond, Ind.) 1906-1933, 1911-07-26
Increase Is Enormous.

Four years ago, just after the locat-
ing of Gary, the land was assessed at
from $40 to s25 an ere. The present
assessment is at the rate of 800 an
acre. This is an enormous increase but
was due to the building of the city of
Gary to the northward.
AT that rate the Tolleston Gun Club S
assessment would be s150.000 and
Susan CIough's would be $4,000 The
taxes on this assessment will be
enormous.
In the vicinity of the town of Miller
the assessment was increased to a
great extent In fact the greatest in
crease in the county. outside of Calu-
met township, took place here.
In most of the townships the as
SCISSORS figures were permitted to stani
as they were originally made. A few
clerical errors were corrected by the
board.

MAN Of MYSTERY
FINDS HIDDEN BOOK

At 1 O'Clock yesterday afternoon,
Willard. the Man of Mystery, made
his drive about the city in search of
book which a committee had hid
den and he not only found the book
but turned to the page upon which
the committee had picked out word
and found the word itself. a large
crowd gathered to marvel at this feat
and. if anyone had an explanation. it
was not offered.
The four men TO respond to Will
lard's call were DR.. J. A. Best, DR..
I. L. Temple, Conrad Platsoder and
VIII Hanscom. DR.. Best was plainly
suspicious and attempted several
times to trap the man of mystery i0
10 exposing a fraud. After the word
had been selected the committee
drove about the city, finally stopping
! on Cottonwood street from where
/ they walked through the Walsh gro
Gerry to the Gritman cigar store, whore
! the book was hidden in the stove.
Upon the return of the committee,
! willard, blindfOlded, took the lines
/ and drove over the same route, fl
nally ending up where the committee
, had hidden the book. Returning with
it to the place of starting, ne opened
it and found the word STERLING
which had been selected.
DIR. Best admits he thought he was
mixed up in a fraud until toward the
end when the man found the book
without being near any one of th'
committee He thinks 1t probable
however that Hanscom was unde1

SONG OF long AGO.

a song Of long ago,
Sing It lightly, sing It low
Sing it softly-like the lisping Of the
lips we used to know
When our baby laughter spilled
From the hearts forever filled
with q music sweet as a robin ever
trilled,
Let the summer fragrant breeze
md the leaves of locust trees,
And the apple buds and blossoms,
and the wings Of honey bees
vi palpitate with glee.
Till the happy harmony
Bring back each childish joy to you
and me-
Let the eyes Of fancy turn,
Where the tumbled pippins burn
Like embers in the orchards lap Of
tousled grass and fern;
And let the wayward wind,
Still singing, plod behind
The cider press-the good old-fash-
ioned kind!
| Blend Is the song the moan
OF the dove that grieves alone,
| And the wild whir Of the locust and
the BUNDLES drowsy drone;
And the low of the cows that call
! Through the pasture bars when all
| The landscape fades away at evenfall
Then, far away and clear,
! Through the dusky atmosphere,
Let the wailing of the kildees be thu
only sound you hear.
oh, sweet and sad and low
AS the memory may know
Is the glad pathetic song of long ago
