PLEDGE THEMSELVES
TO BUILD CHURCH
Splendid Structure to Be
Built in West Hammond
by Polish Catholics.
fcontinued on Page 6-t

At meeting of the men of st An
drews' Catholic church, in West HAM
mond. last Sunday noon they pledged
themselves to build new parochial
school and new rectory. costing ap-
proximately $4,000
The sentiment among the men, rep
unanimous for the Improvement. it be-
ing realized that bigger and more sani-
tary quarters are necessary for both
school and reetory purposes.
The Rev. g. Nowakowski presided at
the meeting. He stated that the needs
of the congregation, and being popular
with his parishoners. he had no Difficult
ty in getting the necessary pledges
The school that is to be erected is to
cost in the neighborhood of s65.0O0.
and is to be a modern three-story
structure. of which the whole city OF
West Hammond may be proud. About
$4,000 or $4,000 are to be spent on the
rectory.
With $50 families in the congregation
and prospects that it will increase, the
indebtedness is not thought to be
heavy, especially as the money is to be
paid nthe installment plan. Before
doing this the congregation is further
pledged to wipe out an old Indebtedness
of $4,000.
Already the congregation is looking
forward to the time when it is to have
a larger church. That Improvement is
still off number of years. but wher

DEATH OF C. LAMB
FROM GASTRITIS
Surveyor Falls Down Stairs
/ and Death Follows Soon
After.
After.
Mms. Marie curIe.

Some time between the hours of II 80
O'Clock last night and O'Clock this
morning George. E. Lamb employed by
County Surveyor Ray Seeley., died fol-
lowing an attack of gastritis at the
State Line hotel, where he was found
dead at the bottom of the stairs by a
boarder. Charley Scheidt, early this
morning.
From bruises and marks on his body
1t is evident that Lamb fell part way
down the steps and stunned by the fall,
and in an intoxicated condition, he was
unable to get up. An attack of gastritis
then followed. and being unable to call
for aid. he probably died some time
early this morning
AS usual Lamb appeared at supper
time and was not seen again until II 20
D. M, when he came into the hotel.
At this time Henry Kruger. proprietor
of the hotel. and his wife and a board
er. Charley Scheidt, were going up
stairs when they noticed Lamb coming
in. in an intoxicated condition.
No attention was paid to him at the
time, and when Scheidt coming
down stairs at 4 o'clock this morning
he found the dead body of Lamb. The
police were then notified and the re-
mains were taken to Burns morgue,
awaiting funeral arrangements.
The inquest held over the remains
this morning showed that Lambs death
was not caused by the fall. but was due
to gastritis. 1t was learned that Lamb
! has been heavy drinker and during
the time he has been staying at the
State Line hotel. since Nov. is, 1911,
he has come to his room on numerous
occasions in an intoxicated condition.
Lamb has been in Hammond about a
year during which time he has been in
the employment of Mr.. Seeley. He was
good worker and was w\ll liked by
all who knew him. Word was sent to
his mother at Grand Rapids, Mich.
this morning, and funeral arrange
ments will be announced later.

Surveying All Of It's
Acreage Now.

Fred Norland for the East Chfcag
company has three crews of surveyors
at work, surveying all the acreage

The surveyors are however for the
purpose of establishing accurate lines
about the unsold property or the East

government surveyors have been all
that the company has gone on. and the
officials decided that it was about
time that something more definite be
done in the way of establishing the
boundaries of their property.
1t is expected that from now on
property in the various localities being
surveyed by Engineer Norland will be

be in a position to take advantage ot
any opportunities to sell. without tbs

there will be a little rest for the office

Many of the taxpayers seem to be
under the impression that their taxes
will become delinquent unless they are
paid before May 1st. Under the law
they have the right to wait until the

ment Is Unanimously Ad-
vocated at Second Meeting
Held at City Hall Last
Evening.

Another meeting of property owners
on Calumet avenue and in the bene-
flied district was held in the council
chamber last evening with the menu
bers of the board of public works. and
the sentiment expressed there was al
most unanimously in favor of the OPEN
ing and widening of Calumet avenue.
About fifty property owners were
present. and most of those who spoke
We're men who declared themselve es
strongly in favor of the Improvement
or such property owners on Calumet t
avenue, who advocated the project but
argued that in their individual cases
not enough benefits had been allowed
them by the board
Principal among the latter were f.
Ullrich and Edward jerks. Both Mr..
Ullrich and Mrs. jerks own brick resi-
dence buildings on Calumet avenue.
Their contention is that the value of
their property would be deprecated by
the fact that, according to the pro-
posed improvements. they would lose
ten feet frontage and the new sidewalk
be placed within ten or twelve inches
of their porches. 1t is for this they
argue that they should be allowed more
money than simply to replace the side
walks.
