A WARM
SESSION

The meeting of the Gary city council
promises to be full of sur
prises and sensations as Nof yore, and
when the dead and wounded are picked
up and the casualties are tabulated the
breach between the aldermen will be
wider than ever. Here are few things
that may happen although there is
nothing sure that any will come to
pass:
L. Abolition of the park board.
2 Creation of the office of city
controller.
g. Appointment of member of
school board.
A. REIMBURSEMENT of Gary tax
levy
s. $4,000 bond issue for South
Side fire station will be asked by
safety board.
g. New ordinance providing for
killing of stray dogs.
4. Amendments to Geist fran
chise
s. Establishment of city health
labratory.
1t has been three weeks since the
council met for a regular session and
many other matters of minor legisla-
ton will be transacted.
1t is said on good authority today
that Alderman Anthony Baukus has
prepared an ordinance in which he will
ask for the abolition of the park board.
1t is a movement to get even with
Alderman Castleman for accusing GER
tain aldermen with accepting the alleg-
ed $4,000 jack pot at the time the Geist
franchise passed the council. Alderma n
Castleman is a member of the park
board and at the special meeting OF the
council last Wednesday night, hearing
that the park board was to be abolished
he tried to square himself. saying that
the matter of the s., 900 jack pot was a
little joke.
VIII Elect Member of School Board.
The appointment Of the new member
of the school board has resulted in an
interesting race ad will be decided at
tonights meeting. There are nearly a
dozen candidates in the race prominent
among them are A. p. Melton. candi-
date for reappointment, w. ]. Flynn. C.
20. Holmes. E. A. Ridgly. John Kirk.
Bodice Szymanski
The race 1t is said has dwindled down
to Mr.. Melton, Flynn and Holmes and
their is much wire pulling today as the
result
Alderman Castleman who is backing
w. j. Flynn said to day that Flynn had
five votes pledged. and C. o. Holmes is
also confident of the appoint. On the
other hand a number of aldermen will
fight for the reappointment of Mr.. Mel
ton and 1t is likely that in the ballot
ing that he will receive the appoint

1t is known that one Indiana Demo-
rat. who wishes to be known as a

proposition, because he would not con-

too. that one Democrat tried to make a
deal with Governor Marshall some time
ago to act as his press agent for 800 n

KERN STARTS
FOR INDIANA
CONTINUED from Page l.,

few weeks ago. when Senator Kern was
initiated while he was here on one of
his visit from Washington. At the time
teh fact mentioned in the news
papers. but no one thought much abou.
it. OF course, Mr.. Kern had perfect
right to Join lodge If he wished to do
SO. and the people let it go at that
without any comment or without think
ing that It had anything to do with his
presidential boom.
But now 1t Is learned that the boom
is being fathered and promoted by some
OF the men who hold high offices in the
lodge, and 1t is the belief that their real
purpose in fostering the Kern move
ment is to get some advertising for
their organization out of the fact that
Kern Is a member and that he is a
Presidential candidate. If this really Is
the purpose behind the boom it will not
live long. for Kern will put a stop to
it very promptly. At any rate he is
coming here to chloroform the boom and
and 1t would probably be interesting II
one could be a little mouse in a corner
of the room when he talks with its pro-
moters.
But the Kern boom is not entirely in
2, the hands of these lodge men. 1t has
taken deeper root than that in some
quarters. and there are many Demo.
Gratis who are in dead earnest in theil
belief that he is the proper man fol
the Democrats to nominate theil
candidate for president. Then. again
! it is believed that another factor in tn.
Kern boom is the effort on the part o.
some Democrats to create the impress
sion that Indiana Democrats are not TO
Marshall for President and thus fl,
things up in behalf of Governor Wilson

how he would improve the 277 acres at
a cost of something like 81. 900. 900.
Yesterday was not a day for Castlema n
TO care about figures. but he was com
pletely at sea. when one of the party
innocently asked the alderman from
the Fifth ward. how Gary people would
reach the park.
Air ships and Interurbans.
Don't yew worry about thet. said
Alderman Castleman changing the navy
plug from one side of his mouth to the
other. This year park will be reached
by an interurban railroad in less time
than 1t takes ter think, Just as sbon as
the lad Is purchased. We will have
trolley cars and airships runnig every
Ave minutes for the benefit of the

ing center"
The site for the proposed park is at
the mouth of the Calumet river takin g
in all the territory east of Lake avenue
beyond the mouth of the river.
Think 100 Acres Sufficient.
While Alderman Castleman thought
that Gary's future park should occupy
272 acres the other members of the
park board and officials are of the
opinion that loo acres will be all the
territory that is NEEDED. A meeting OF
the park board will he held in the coun-

look after their interests. The meet
ing is to be held in room No 3 in the
Lake Superior court house Tuesday
June 6 at ten CLOCK.
Witnesses Subpoenaed.
To assure the attendance of num-
Der of the large property owners the
state board of tax commissioners has
the property owners. All others who
have interests that are likely to be
affected are requested to be present.
The suspicious of the state board of
tax commissioners was aroused when
they noted that the city of Whiting
paid the Forsythe estate $4,000 for 16
acres of lake frontage for park pur-
poses. This was at the rate of $3.50 an
acre
The board noticed that the assessors
in the townships of North Calumet and
Hobart were assessing this same front
age at a value per acre which ranged
from $4,000 to $4,000
Thought They were Favored.
Naturally the state board thought
that some of the big corporations were
being favored. Apparently they did
not put much of a valuation on this
frontage until they came to sell 1t and
then they asked fancy figure for it.
The fact will probably be brought
out that it was the riparian rights that
were so valuable in the case of the
purchase of the Whiting park property.
While the acreage was not large it in
volved large extent of shore line and
that made the cost per acre greater.
Hard to Value.
1t is a known fact that the Gary
Land Co, which made most of the pur-
chases of land for the Indiana Steel Co.
at Gary, paid between $1,000 and $500
| for its purchases.
But there have been so few purchase
| of lake frontage that 1t has really been
difficult to place a value upon the prop
erty. It is believed that the state board
of tax commissioners will decide upon
| an increase ad it will be up to the land
| owners to do the best they can to keep
| the valuation down.
! Other matters in the northern part Of
! the state are to receive the attention OF
| the state board and 1t is expected that
| there will be some interesting sessions
:, before the members leave.
