A PUBLIC MARKET.

The public market proposition for
Hammond is anything but a dead is
sue. and the sooner the city admins
tration takes steps to carry out the
proposed plans, the sooner will it
convince the taxpayers that their in
Let there be no delay, the time to
get busy is now, and not when the
hucksters begin to swarm into the
city. Every public improvement re-
quires the unwinding of a certain
amount of red tape and the time to
begin unwinding is now Let Ham
mond be first in one thing anyway,
The city already has the site for
the public market-the vacant prop
|erty in the rear of the city hall ex-
tending to the city barn. At the
present time it is an unsightly stor-
age yard, and in as much as the city
lis put to the necessity of locating a
more convenient storage yard, the
city market idea should be worked
out simultaneously. The proposed
Isite is probably not all it should be
it may be found to be too small; some
sections of the city may find it on,
of reach, but under the circum
stances it will answer the first needs
Only as far as the size and the 10
cation of the city market are con
cerned should be it is considered ar
experiment, for the city market as ];
beneficient public institution is /;

made so here. All that is necessar,

lines-in other words that it be con
Quoted for the benefit of the shcppin,
housewife and the actual produce
and not for the wholesaler and tn
middleman. To conduct 1t otherwise
would mean having a public market
yes, but the advantages to the publ
would be nil, and such marke
Hammond does not need nor want.

DIVERS RAWLINGS.

A revivalist named Oliver who
visited Laporte recently and called
that city 1.-The rottenest this side OF
hell" has been in Van Vert lately
Oliver is the so-cafled evangelist who
uses language in the pulpit that
would not be permitted in a grog-
gerry. He said in part:

two hours. II you rot and go to

BOARD ACTION ENDS FIGHT.

The action of the State Board Of
Health in condemning three school
houses in Liberty Township near New
castle will in all probability put an end
to the bitter fight that has been on
there for more than a year in connec-
ton with the proposition to build 4
new high school at Millviile. The con-
troversy got into the courts. and has
also resulted in several bloody en-
counters between advocates of the i'm
provement and those opposed to il.
With the township being compelled to
provide three new schoolhouses. the
idea of erecting a $4,000 high school
at Miilville will now probably be
abandoned.
