HAMMOND'S VALUATION
ABOUT sl2,O0O,0OO

Hammond's property valuation at the
close of re-valuatjon period will total
in the neighborhood of ten or twelve
million dollars, according to a rough
estimate this mrning by Bert Escher.
North township tax assessor The old
valution is approximately seven and a
half million dollars. and with Mr..
Escher's estimate. which is quite cor
rect, the city will have about four mil
lion dollars additional taxable prop
erty.
While a proportionate tax return will
go into the county and state treasury
the increased valuation Will put much
needed money into Hammond's treas
ury for improvements.
The assessors office is a busy place
these day and as yet the townhip Of
fetal does not see the finish of his re-
valution work.
In speaking of his work. Mr. Escher
said that some of his deputies had en-
countered obstreperous taxpayers VIII
refused to admit the deputies to their
premises and also declined to give the
desired information.
Mr.. Fischer ascribed such action tc
ignorance OF the law, but said that any
similar conduct in the future would
be cause for prosecution'

the eighth when Murphy singled,
stole second and third and raced home
when Snyder booted grounder at
second.
The support of the locals was su

The features of the game were the
hitting of Corbin, who secured three
singles and double out of five times
