Some varying changes are noted in
the 1912 tax levies which have been
fixed during the past week by various
municipal corporations in Lake county
Of the cities Gary and East Chicago
present drop OF .35 and .43 respect
lively
Last year Gary's assessed valuation
on which the s1-61 levy was based on
amounte dto more than thirteen million
dollars. This year the valuation is
near the twenty million mark, or near
ly twice that of Hammond. So what
Gary makes in the levy reduction the
city again loses in the six million dol
lar valuation increase.
Miller town. which now has a valua-
tion of $1,000. 900, has added ten cents
to its levy. This is for park purposes.
While Hammond's tax levy remains
unchanged, the city is expending ap-
proximately. eight thousand dollars for
an improved pumping station and ex-
tension of the water mains. Half of
the cost can be betrayed by the cash on
hand in the water department. while a
forty thousand dollar year bond issue
takes care of the balance. The new
tax levy also makes provision for sepa-
rate pension funds for the police and
fire departments.

ing permitted his goat to destroy her

Complains About Treatment.
Mr.. Hilger is contemplating bring
ing an action against Andrew Esser,
the policeman who arrested him. and
the city of West Hammond, for the
treatment accorded him in connection
with his arrest. Having learned early
last week that Mrs Wasserman had
asked for warrant for his arrest. he
presented himself at the village hall
for trial, but was informed that he
would be summoned in due time. Yes
terday afternoon, while asleep after a
nights work, Officer Esser called at his
home and told him that Judge Green
wanted him at the village hall. But
upon his arrival there he was placed
| in a cell and was denied telephone
communication with his friends or law
yer until he had signed a recognizanct
bond which Judge Green sent over from
his office. Mr.. Hilger says he was en-.
! titled to either an Immediate hearing
or admittance to bond without frs
having been subjected to Incarceration
.Anglin and Bamm are two Hammond
residents and according to the state I
| evidence did not have an Illinois license

Blackmun, Kaufman and

Market Is Active.

One of the biggest real estate deals
of the month was closed a day or two
ago when ]. s. Blackburn, Leo Wolf
and Carl Kaufman purchased seventy
one lots owned by the webb estate in

ings of A. II. Webb in this locality A
few years ago he sold out the residue
of the Homewood addition to Gostlin,
Meyn & Co. Most of the Homewood
property has now been sold.
The deal was really closed several
months ago. but 1t required an order
of the court to approve of the sale. and
this order was not entered until a few
days ago.
In the meantime ]. s Blackburn has
been busy selling the property and has
already sold twenty lots. 1t is ex-
pected that the entire property will be
sold out within a year or two
This is In line with the tendency in
a number of instances to buy out the
residue of old subdivisions and place
the property on the market. A num-
ber of such deals have been made late
ly. Invariably they have been success
full.
Gostfin, Meyn & Co. have a number

He was informed that the attor-
neys had been waiting for him all
morning. He said he was sorry
about that and could not understand
how they got the idea that he would
be there before noon.

haired man of about 40 years of age.
He has the appearance of being .
prosperous business man rather
