The Lake County times. [volume] (Hammond, Ind.) 1906-1933, 1912-06-08

The open meeting of the Hammond
Chamber OF Commerce. which is to be
held a the Lake superior court house
on Monday afternoon is to be one of
the most important public meetings that
have ever been held in Hammond.
The general public is to be given an
idea of the great work that is being
done by this organization for the com
munity. The idea prevails that the new
organization is not getting results.
The reason for false Impression is
that the work has all been done quietly
and unostentatiously. But the work
has been done and Hammond has a
better civic organization than ever had
before
The board of directors of the new
organization has been meeting weekly
for some time. and the members of the
board have been exceedingly faithful
in their attendance at the meetings.
The old don't care spirit which per-
vaded the Hammond Business Mems as
ISOLATION is absent.
At the meeting Monday there will be
an interesting discussion of the immi-
grant question by a number of persons
who have made study of the question.
The educational value of such a dis
cussion will make the meeting well
worth attending.
Not only the members of the Com
mercia1 club. but the general public is
invited to be present at the meeting,
which will be held in room No 1 of the
Lake superior court house, and either
take part in or listen to the discussion.
The following letter has been sent
out by President V. S. Reiter of the
Chamber of Commerce.:
