ern and complete in every respect. 1t

village for years to come. The school
house will be built on Wentworth av-
enue and will be centrally located for
the entire village.
A c. Deaver is the superintendent
of schools in West Hammond, and it is
due to his efforts that the village is to

both manual training and domestic sci

STATE STREET MEN
HOLD GOOD MEETING
Matters Pertaining to Wei
fare of Thoroughfare
Are Taken Up.

The state street BUSINESS Mems asso-s
citation held a meeting Thursday. At
which there was large addition to the
membership of the organization. The
members of the association took steps
to have the sidewalks of the street
widened from eight to ten feet.
When Hammond was laid out it's
founders did not have any conception
of its possibilities. Accordingly the
streets and sidewalks in its business
district were made too narrow.
since that time there have been ef-
forts madexto widen both Holman and
State streets, but each time there were
enough property owners with total
lack of progressiveness and no con-
ception of the benefits that would come
from such an Improvement, to thwart
the plans of the broader and more lib
eral citizens.
In the recent effort that was made to
widen State street east of Oakley ave-
nue.. majority of the owners of the
frontage decided that it would be a
great benefit to have the street wild
ened. but there were just enough of the
dead, unimaginative barnacles on the
street to spoil the plans for the dexel-
oppment of the street.
State street, west of oakley avenue,
cannot be widened on account of the
large number of expensive improvee-
ments that have been made on the
property, so they must do the next best
thing: widen the sidewalks at the ex-
pense of the street. This the board of
public works will be asked to do.
The East State Street Business Mems
association also toek steps to circulate
| letters to all of the property owners
and residents In the territory tributary
to fhis street. asking them to trade at
| the State street stores.
| The question of modern street
| lighting system by means of orna-
mental posts cannot be taken up until
the sidewalks are widened. H, l.. St
! Clair resigned as secretary of the asso-
citation. and Mac Turner was selected in
his place.
