condemnation ordinance with more pit

Garys park board can swoop down up
on the town of Miller and condemn so
acres of its beautiful lake front for
park purposes.
The measures was introduced in a
famboyant manner by Alderman
Castleman. who made several shieking
speeches on the subject and who got
so worked up about the park for the

CROWN POINT TAKES
UP WATER SCHEME
Business Men Consider Fan
cher Lake as Source Of
City Water Supply.
Especial to THE TrMHs.)

Crown Pont. Ind, April "A meet
ing was held recently by some of
Crown Points representative business
men relative to the city getting it's
supply of water from Fancher Lake
instead of at wells near the pumping
station as is now done. The plan has
been pronounced feasible by engineers,
the level of the lake being much higher
than that of the pumping station and
they claiming that the water from the
lake can be syphoned into cisterns at
a very nominal cost under property
constructed system.
The matter was brought before the
city council by Attorney John b. Pet
erson as representing the citizens who
had talked the matter over and the
council decided at least to make an in
vestigation of the merits of the propo-
power to hire an expert engineer to
look over the situation and give his
opinion of it's feasibility and the cos,
of the Improvement.
The water now furnished by the city
wells is anything but satisfactory ir
quality or quantity. being hard and
full os mineral matter and the lake
water being safe and unquestionabls
pure the idea is that it would make
an ideal water If the supply is suffi-
cient The water committee VIII make
further fnvestig alton and probabl,
something now definite will result from
the investigation. The building o.
costly cistern and installing of moto
pumps for soft water could then be dis
pensed with which would be materia
coming to the householder and hom
builder.

CONVENTION
HELD AT
LATE DATE

Although Ed. Simon of Hammond,
former democratic county chairman
and representative in the Legislature,
threw his hat in the ring" early a
candidate for auditor. it will be months
before the fall campaign will be for
mally launched in Lake county.
No date has yet been set for the
democratic nominating convention, and
until this is past the campaigning on
both the republican and the demo-
cratic sides win be perfunctory. There
appears to be tendency in the demo-
cratic ranks to put off the convention
a least until the national convention
has been held. for il is figured that the
national standard bearer will influence
the success of the party locally.

PRIMARY VOTE is
HEAVIER T|,AN THOUGHT
Over Five Thousand Votes
Are Cast at Last Fri
days Primaries.

The republican primary vote OF last
week was heavier, than at first it was
thought to be. judging from some or
ese latest returns from Crown Point
The total vote on the sheriff candi-
dates was added up there this morning
with the following results. as given
out by Attorney Vernon McGirr, sec
retary of the county central organiza-
ton. The total vote was follows:
Fred Friedley ..-...... ia
Ernest Kunert ......... 1885
Henry Whitaker ....... 1928
Total .b,z7z
The sheriff vote Is said to be fair
criterion of the votes east for the other
candidates
When it is remembered that the ap-
proximate total in the last general
election was 1880 votes. This in
cludes all parties. and taking out the
republicans share 1t can be readily
seen that the primary vote was a
heavy one.
