and Holman street will become the
show residential street of the city.
And while the property owners along
Holman street have been doing these
acts of city building Calumet avenue
has done nothing.
While great many of its property
owners are progressive there are a
few who have attempted to balk
every progressive step that has been
taken. The street has not yet been
opened across the Little Calumet
river and instead of being an import
ant thoroughfare it starts nowhere
and ends nowhere.
A great many people who want to
see the improvement of Calumet ave-
nue. go through are so afraid that
they will not get as much damages
out Of the public funds as their
neighbor that they are endangering
the whole project.
Calumet avenue is being put to the
acid test. It's future is to be de-
termined in the next few months. 1t

quire why it is that the same bunch of
cautious warnings and threats are
made by the city authorities of Ham
mond every year about unlicensed and
unmuzzled dogs. 1t is positively nau-
seating First the newspapers will call
the attention of the officials to the
stray dogs. Then the chief of police

somebody will have leg chewed up.
Police again give ten days notice to
dog owners. Nothing doing. 1t is this
way year after year. l know II to be
a positive fact that there are owners
of dogs in Hammond who never pay a
cent of license money. They brag
about 1t. There are scores and scores
of dogs running around the city today
without license tags. Next July and
August you will see the same dogs
running around unmuzzled. Why do
the police favor these dog owners?

charge of intoxication Wednesday

Last Friday was the first day when
the sun was warm enough to thaw
in the open since last October or
November. We had a little soft
weather in December, but that was
in the shape of rain. Last Friday
the breezeS were from the south and
the sun took off enough snow during
the afternoon to make it rough sled
ding. Since then the weather has
been warm and delightful. 1t is
about time, with March only nine
days away.
