age of to 81 and, according to this
census, Hammond is to receive its ap-
preparation from the state school fund.

apparent loss in the Central school dis
trict is not loss to the city in reality,

DIFFERENCE
NOTED IN
FIGURES

Evidently there is a wide discrepan-
cy between the assessed valuation of
Calumet avenue property, and the value
that some of the property owners place
on it now that Calumet avenue is to be
opened and widened by taking from
seven to ten-foot frontage from each
lot. There is also this significant fact,
and 1t will undoubtedly have consid-
erable bearing in a court hearing that
same of the Calumet avenue property
owners are willing to accept the board
of public works ruling to the effect
that the benefits shall equal the dam
ages where no buildings and improve
ments are touched. whereas other
property owners in remonstrances are
asking for excessive damages under al
most similar circumstances.
Belt Claim Not Serious.
1t may be stated at this point that
the claim which the Indiana Harbor
Belt railroad made through it's attorney
in a remonstrance, in which 1t asked
for s10,050, is out of all consideration,
this sum having been set in accord
ance with a more or less senseless pol
icy in legal procedure where damages
are asked. to fix the sum about 1000
per cent higher than the actual amount
which is expected. In the case of the
Indiana Harbor Belt the company is
put to the expense of moving a little
shanty, and if the estimated damages
had been limited to $50 and the $4,000

The counties of Montrose. Delta

Western Passenger association to es-
tablish a summer rate for fruit la
borers and ranch help on the West

united effort for this purpose.
1t is the desire of the three West
ern Slope counties named to secure
the reduced rate for fruit laborers.

sion rates which are granted in the

While 1t is known that summer tour
ist tickets are on sale to this terri
tory as well as elsewhere, the final
limit is not sufficient, particularly in
Montrose and Delta counties.
1t is the belief on the Western

Montrose, Delta or Mesa county. the
tickets should be on sale August Is

of returning any time up to Novem-
