STATE ST.
CORNER HAS
NEW OWNER

One Of the most important real estate
deals of the past week in Hammond
was the purchase by Peter w. Meyn
and A. NJ. Turner of the Ernest Tosstti
Brewery Co.'S property at the corner
of State street and the Nickel Plate
railroad tracks, in Hammond.
The property has a frontage of only
40 feet on State street, but it has a
depth of 125 feet in the rear. The
purchase of this property means that
II will be improved at an early date
for the present improvements will not
pay the carrying charges on the pur-
chase price.
two-story Improvement on this
property will do more to add to the
appearance of the city of Hammond. as
viewed from the railroad trains, than
anything that could be built.
1t indicates the belief of these WELL
known real estate men and fnanciers
in the future OF State street as an i'm

BUILDING PERMITS
FALLING OFF

Operators in the building business
are apparently waiting until they get
the finals from the ringside in Chi
cago before beginning any new pro-
jects. Permits were small and infre-
quent this week and in all total only
s2s.S9o. BY consulting past records it
was found that this is the lowest they
have since the opening of this
years season of building.
But for the proposed $4,000 addition
to the Federal Tile and Cement build
ing things would have fallen fatter
still. That booster the totals consid-
erably. There were only three other
permits taken out for residences. One
amounted to S3.500. 1t is to be the
residence of d. A. Pugh, the band man.
Another was obtained by Blackburn

Mayor Schlieker declared that he
had heard rumors of late that some
places of the sort, the meeting was
called together. to condemn, were
springing up, and he had conferred
with Chief Mccormack regarding them
and sent officers to look into the
places. The officers were however un-
able to get any evidence that would
hold water in court. The mayor stat
ed that he was always ready and glad
to employ the city machinery to put
down vice.
Chief Mccormack reiterated what
the mayor had isaid about the police
having tried to get evidence against
the places complained of. but without
results.
Calls On Prosecutor.
DR.. Goldman declared it was UP to
the office of the prosecuting attorney
TO stop the nuisance, and that if the
deputy could not or would not do 50.
he should resign and allow the ap-
pointment of a man who could ac-
complish it.

WILL PLEAD
GUILTY TO

Wfllett Hayes of Gary will plead
guilty of assisting in the performing
of a criminal operation which resulted
in the death of Alice Raub OF Gary
The maximum penalty for this crime
liz one year in the penitentiary and
$500 fine. but 1t is believed that Hayes
will be let off with a small fine and
six months in Jail. He has already
spent four months in Jail.
The death of the girl took place
along about March /, 1912. She per-
formed the operation with Hayes as
sistance. The prosecutors office has
Information to the effect that Hayes

with the city council a proper state
ment of the proposed erection of the

The appeal to the supreme court
was taken by Caldwell & Drake. The
school board refused to be party to
the action after it's change of per-
sonnel following the letting of the
contract to Caldwell & Drake. The
appellant was represented by william

The news of the decision of the SUI
preme court will be received gladly
by the people of Hammond, for the
reason that it will mean that the
board is now free to proceed properly
with the plans to erect the much
needed building.
The trouble arose when the old
board let the contract for the erec-
tion of Hammond's new quarter of q
million dollar building to Caldwell q
Drake, after Eric Lund had been the
low bidder and apparently had been
induced to withdraw his bid.
