SENATOR
EXPLAINS
SITUATION

Senator Frank Gavit returned from
Indianapolis last night and received the
congratulations of the citizens of Ham
mond and the members of the North
township bar for the work he has done
in the interests of the Hammond court
bill
Since the house committee on judici-
airy reported favorably on the Ham
mond bill and unanimously postponed
the Gary bill. and the report was ac-
cepted by the house by a unanimous
vote, the next scene of the conflict
Will che in the senate.
There are two ways in which the
Hammond measure can come up in the
senate. The senate committee can re-
port the Hammond and Gary bills to
the senate and let them take their
chances on the floor of the senate or
it can keep the bills in committee.
In the event that the senate commit
tee refuses to report either the Gary or
Hammond bills for passage the house
bill will be sent over to the senate and
passed.

MEETING
HAS GOOD
RESULTS
Manufacturers Decide That
Expense of Steam Pump
at Present Is Not Desira-
BILE; Favor Mixed Installa-
tion.

The meeting of the Manufacturers
association at the Majestic hotel last
evening resulted in two important con-
clusions. The first is that it is not
desirable to spend $4,000 for the in
sta1lation of steam pump in the Ham
mond pumping station when in the
course of five years it will be neces-
sary to build water tunnel into the
late and probably rebuild the present
pumping station to meet the require
ments of the future.
The alternative is to install an cleo
trio centrifugal pump with a capacity
of 10000 gallons to act as an auxili-
ary to the present pumping equipment
This will require an outlay of only So
600 at the present time and will provide
for the needs of the city for the next
five years.
After that time the city will be in
financial condition to entirely replace
the present pumping equipment with
new one which will be modern and
up-to-date in every respect
Favor Mixed Installation.
The thing that appealed to the man
ufacturers present is the fact that an
outlay of only $4,000 to.s10 900, accord
ing to the number of units installed, is
infinitely better than an outlay of $780,
600 for steam pump when the plant

LOSS OF 100000.
Report from Fire Sweeping Forests
About Millers Falls, Mass.

Millers Falls, Mass, May 12-The
forest fire which has been sweeping
three townships in this section for the
past three days continued today and
up TO noon had burned over about
10000 acres of timber and brush
lands, causing damage estimated IT
fully 100000 Twelve farm buildings
hay been destroyed by the fire since
its origin, but today the lames were
thought to be confined to dense tim
Der tracts and Few if any, houses
were thought TO be endangered.
The absence of wind today aided
the worn-out volunteer fire fighters.
The general opinion expressed here
was that the fire would have to burn
itself out unless there should be n
heavy doWnnour of rain.
The three towns in which the fire
is raging are Montague. Ncrdcn ana
Irving.
