SESSION THERE
Especial to THE T1MEa)

Crown Point, Ind. Aug. 81. The
coming meeting of the board of coun-
ty commissioners and the county
council which will be held here on
next Tuesday is expected to be one OF
the most important that has been held
there in years.
The county council meets but twice a
year. That means that in this live
growing county all improvements must
wait for one of these bi-annual meet
ings of the county councilmen in order
that appropriations may be made
The county councilnen get so little
for their services that there is really
nothing In it for them. And this same
group of men will have the RESPONSE
bility of appropriating in the neighbor-
hood of $500 900 at the coming session.
The appropriations are to be made
for all of the county expenses, the run
ming of the courts, the various county
institutions and the county offices.
But more important than this is the
fact that the county council will be
asked to make an appropriation for a
$4,000 bascule bridge on Forsythe av
enue, a bridge over the Kankakee riv-
er at Schneider, a bridge over the Lit
tie Calumet river at Holman street and
a bridge over the mill dam at Hobart.
This will naturally bring a large
number of boosters from various parts
of the county all of whom will be
ardent supporters of one project or an
other.
The commissioners have made their
recommendations in most of these
project, and there is little doubt that
the members of the county council
recognizing the necessity for these I'M
provements If the north end takes ad-
vantage of its tremendous Industrial
development will make the appropria.
tions.

the day in West Hammond is the fact
that United States District Attorney

ference with Miss Virginia Brooks, has
alleged violations of the Mann white

brought out to prove that girls have
been taken from Indiana cities to West
Hammond to begin lives of shame The
Mann act makes 1t q penitentiary Of
fense for person to induce a girl to
go from one state to another for i'm
moral purposes.
A further fact of Importance was
brought out when DR.. Andrew Hoff-
man admitted at the session of the
coroner's jury, sitting on the case of
the death OF John Messmaker, that he
found the imprint of a hypodermic
needle in Messmaker's arm.
