MR.. HOTCHK&SS
rs IMPROVING

East Chicago March 23.-Word. has
been received from the bedside of c.
W. Hotchl<iss that he is slowly but
surely improving. According to latest
reports he is even able to be up a lit
tie and he is beginning to think of
the time when he will be able to leave
the room to which he has been con-
fined for so many weeks.
Although not yet able to walk about
he is comparatively free from pain
and the swelling in his hands and feet
is greatly reduced. He still suffers
some pain. but nothing like that he
experienced up to week ago when his
condition first took turn for the bet
ter.
According to the present outlook. If
he continues to improve as he has for
the past week, the patient will be able
to leave his room in about t@as week,
though his physicians do not hold out
any hope that he will be in a condi-
ton to resume his work under a
months time.

COLUMBIA PARK SEEMS
TO MEET WITH FAVOR
Breathing Spot Has Not
Been Officially Chris
tened.

Custom and usage, especially in city
hall circles, are slowly fastening the
name Columbia Park" on the east
side twelve-acre tract which was
bought last year for park purposes. The
name is given to it because of the fact
that the park ADULTS on Columbia ave-
nue.. and in as much as it has somewhat
of an historical and patriotic ring, the
name is adopted all the readily. Popu-
larly it is better known as the east side
park because of its location. but to one
looking into the future to the time
when the cities of North township are
amalgamated. this name does not ap-
peal
The appellation columbia Park" has
not been fixed by any ordinance of the
city council. although this could be
properly done So The name has. how
ever. been used Fsfn several official srez
ports by Peter Lyons. the city engineer.
land by Mayor Smalley, when he was
city controller
At any rate there is no seething and
stirring agitation anywhere about Sc
lecting an appropriate name for the
breathing spot.

TRYING TO
GET FREE
DELIVERY

Citizens of East Hammond are look
ing forward to the time when Uncle
Sam shall see fit to establish mail de-
livery in that portion of the city. The
postoffice authorities has had the mat
ter up repeatedly with the postoffice
department at Washington and in each
case has been assured of an investi-
cation and consideration, but it
apparently not until recently that the
matter was taken up in earnest by the
postoffice department in Washington.
Whether the elimination of the plans
VII take sx months or a year remains
to be seen.
East Hammond was prepared long
ago for the accommodation. One of
the principal requirements is that side
walks shall be in the districts where
the carriers travel. East Hammond has
plenty of them.
Uncle Sam has adopted policy with
in a comparatively recent time, accord
ing to which private mail boxes must
be established in nearly opened terri
tory. This policy is to be carried fur
ther and eventually may result in an
order that a private mail box must be
established in front of every residence
at the door.
The amount OF time that the mail
carrier loses at the door waiting for an
answer to his call or ring is appreciable
during days work and il has been
estimated that one or two hours day
could be saved for each carrier, by hav-
ing proper receptacle at each door
The mail could also answer the fur
ther purpose of affording safe place
for the newspaper boys in which to
place the papers to protect them from
the weather

HE HAS NOT DECIDED

Speculation has been rife for some
time whether Councilman Marion
Hover of the ninth ward will move to
Indiana Harbor and thus vacate his
seat in the city council or retain his
residence in Hammond.
1t had its origin in the fact that Mr..
HOVER sold his CarroR street residence
and that Mrs Newton Hembroff the
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs Hover has
decided to move to Indiana Harbor
where her husband, Attorney Newton
Hembrof, has his law office.
Mrs. Hover said today that she and
Mr.. Hover had not yet decided def
nitely what they would do, and that
any speculation as to Mr. Hover re-
signing his seat in the city council is
premature.
Mr.. Hover was elected on the re-
pu blican ticket, and thus far has an
excellent record in the council.
