RECALL ACROSS Line

The initiative. referendum and recall.

tools in the hands of an intelligent
voter, are to have a place in the West

DECLINES
PERMIT
Hammond's Mayor Gives
Athletic Club It's Final
Answer This Morning;
Club May Now Take Mat
ter Into the Courts.

Mayor John d. Smalley said this
morning. Il decline to sign a license
that will permit boxing in Hammond
This is final. They may try to man
date me to do but If they do the
matter will get into the courts and we
viii then know exactly what we can
and can not do.
Boxing has been given a trial in
Hammond and the local managers of
the sport proved their inability TO cope
with the situation. For the good of
the cities good name I do not believe
that we ought to try a bad thing over
again.
L am not convinced that the rowdy
element could be eliminated and 1 am
sure that the people of Hammond do
not want repetition of the affair
which resulted In the invasion of the
city by piekpockets and thugs"
This decision followed a l9ng con ,
ference between the mayor. llis chic T
of police and the police commissioners.
