WAR DEPARTMENT
rs NOTIFIED

w. G.. Paxton is one of the public
spirited citizens of Hammond who is
anxious that Hammond's future harbor
be protected. He said the other day:
Il noticed that one of the railroads on
the lake front has been filling in
Wolf river. and I believe the matter is
worth Investigating.
An Investigation resulted in the in
formation that was printed in a TINES
editorial yesterday. The matter has
been placed before the federal authori-
ties in the war department at Chicago
and an investigation will probably re-
suit.
L.. L. Bomberger, the local attorney
for the B. & o. railroad, stated that he
did not believe the railroad would or
could prevent the opening of the harbor
when the time comes
He said that it is government
stream and that the railroads would be
compelled to build bridges whenever
the government orders the harbor
opened.

LAKE CO. TO HAVE NO
CHARLEvOIX BOYv|LLE
However, Any Lake County
Boy Who Wants to Go
There May Do So.

Judge Willis Brown, the promoter of
several Boyville's of national fame.
was in Hammond today and said that
the usual campaign In the interests of
Charlevoix Boyville will not be car
ried on this year.
He said that while there would be a
Boyville at Charlevoix and that any
Hammond. East Chicago or Gary boys
who cared TO go could do so that the
usual efforts to get up big crowd
here would be abandoned.
Judge Brown has great deal of
Chautaqua work to do this summer anil
there are Boyvilles at Kansas City and
other places that he will have to look
after.
So the Boyville activity in Hammond
and Gary will be allowed to rest for a
time in the interests of the general
movement. Judge Brown is well pleas
ed with the way his Gary experiment
has worked out SO far.

THINKS SITS. SHOULD

w. G.. Paxton Says That All
That Is Necessary Is For
Initiative to Be Taken.

w G. Paxton was very much inter-
ested in the article in THE TIMES last

ening OF state street. east Of Oakley av-
enue, were taken up
y Mr.. Paxton thinks that what IS still
more friiportant Is the matter or open
ing up an extension OF Oakley avenue
and Sohl street to the north side. He
says that steps ought to be taken at
once to have the street opened and then
the citizens of Hammond ought to go
before the county commissioners for
the purpose of securing an appropriation
for the building of the necessary bridge
across the river.
Paxton also suggested that an or
ganization of State street business men
ought to be formed for the purpose of
forcing the Immediate carrying out of
these plans.
All that is needed, according to Pax
ton, is some one to take the initiative
and the property owners in that section
