Campaign for Court When
Legislature Meets, and

Other Cities Will Assist.

Gary is going back TO the legislature
again this winter to ask for a court.
The twice fought battle Is to be fought
again. But Gary Is going to seek the
cooperation of the rest of the cities
of the region this time instead OF an
tagonizing them. That policy will be
adopted at first anyway. If smoothing

desired result then il will again be rub

attitude that was taken by Henry F.

prevented either Hammond or Gary
from getting a court is not to be part
Of this years campaign.
