MEETING
EXPECTED
TO Be LIVELY

Considerable business will come up
in the Gary common council tonight
making the session one of the most
important held this year Among the
important ordinances which may be
acted upon are some of the following:
Further advancement to Alderman
Castleman's ordinance abolishing the
board of public safety.
The repeal or the amendment of the
handful ordinance.
The Introduction of an ordinance in
creasing the board of park commits
sioners from three to five
A probable ordinance increasing the
police force from thirty five to fifty
men,
Reports from the council Investigate.
ing committee.
Zig Fight ON Safety Board.
While Alderman Castleman has but
two supporters with him on general
measures it is claimed that he has six
votes lined up to put the safety COM
missioners out of business. Aldermen
Bowser. Rowley and Feuer have de-
clared that they will vote against any
abolition measure
The Gary Commercial club does not
want the safety commissioners abolish
ed at this time. considering the fact
that the strike is and that there are
numerous robberies going on, and the
organization may use it's influence to
keep the board intact.
It is the theory of Alderman Castle
| man that if the safety board is abol-
| ished the entire responsibility for the
! police department. the vice regulation
and the maintenance of order will rest
| directly upon Mayor Knots and he will
not be able to displace the blame for
| any wrongdoing, which Castleman
! thinks that he is trying to do now.
! To Increase Park Board.
| The present park commission. which
| is composed of Frank Zawadzki, AID
ermen Bowser and Castleman. will be
| increased to five. thus making room for
| two more appointees. Mayor Knots
and Alderman Feuer will endeavor to
| land Homer J. Carr in one of the berths
| of state while w. A. Cain and others
| are said TO be fathering the ambitions

/ Reason for the anxiety to get on the

BAD FIRE
OCCURS AT
AT HARBOR

The Birmingham age-herald., 1911-03-05

While returning from a funeral Friday afternoon MT. Hayden was struck just above the left eye by the hoof of a vicious horse which kicked clear over the dash board and then ran away, wedging the buggy, which MT. Hayden occupied, be- tween the sidewalk embankment and post near the Alabama Great Southern railroad crossing at Elmwood cemetery.
 The injured man was put in a carriage in service at the funeral he had attended and rushed to the Copeland-Solomon- Wilder infirmary, where his wounds were dressed and his other injuries attended to. He was otherwise bruised about the body. An ugly wound was made by the iron shoe of the horse which struck just above the left eye.
 It seems that MT. Hayden was ap preaching the railroad crossing at that point when someone of his acquaintances accosted him and asked to be allowed to ride with him to the city. MT. Hayden refined up his horse, which showed signs of impatence. and sooner than he realized the animal began to kick and tore away the front part of the vehicle. MT. Hay, den was struck in the face and half dazed. The horse started to run, but be- fore going very far was stopped when the buggy dashed into an embankment. MT. Hayden was sufficiently improved yester- day to be removed to his home at West End
