Frank Ebert, deputy city treasurer.
will. according to the announcement
of City Treasurer william Wolter some
time ago, resign his position in order
to go back to the Western Grain Prod
ucts company.
While the resignation has not been
formally rendered, 1t Is understood
that it is to go into effect on Feb. l..
Mr. Ebert was connected with the
Western Grain Products company be-
fore taking the office of deputy city
treasurer and has been in the latter Of
fee ever since the change went into ef
feet in the city hall owing to Mayor
Becker's resignation. The Western
Grain Products company is said TO
have made Mr. Ebert an offer which, ,.in
justice to himself, he could not over
look.
AS a public official Mr.. Ebert has
made many friends for himself and the
office of the city treasurer generally.
He combined a geniahty with his com
petency in the office which made the
/ taxpayers who had to visit the office
feel that they had indeed public ser
want
Mr. wo1ter is not yet ready to make
an appointment of Mr.. Ebert-s success
or, but it is generally conceded tina,
the experience of William Kolb as clerk
in the city water department, which Is
connected with the city treasury
would eminently qualify him for the
position.

value of the second subdivision of Gary
as a residential center. I believe that
in time hundreds OF the employe of the

NO other corporation will spend so
much money In developing a residential
district such as the steel corporation
has done In the first subdivision and
which 1t is now doing In tho second
subdivision n the west part Of the city.
The new plant will emphaize more

debtedness, with one exception, and
this will make it easier to pool their
interests.
The river will be Strengthened and
the property on both sides of it will
become great site for industrial con-
Germs. When the Strengthening of the
river is accomplished the river will run
westward from the Hammond Distilling
company's plant without a turn until
the canal is reached.
One great advantage that will be
gained by the pooling of interests will
be the fact that in eliminating the bend
in the river an exchange of land. which
will be added to one side and taken
from the other, will be harmoniously
effected.
In Indiana Harbor almost all of the
land along the canal has either been
sold to manufacturing concerns or is
held by men who do not want to sell
SO that the time is ripe for the develop
ment of such a district in Hammond.

night, the mercury went only two de-
grees below zero and this temperature
permitted a 5-inch snow to fall
