20 SALOONS HAVE
QUIT BUSINESS
Hammond Is Now BailiWick
Containing 143 Bullets
and Saloons.

Twenty saloons have gone out of
business in Hammond during the past
year. according to a statement made
by Jimmy frost this morning, who is
in charge of the city saloon licenses
Upon making a careful investigation
of the records yesterday Mr.. frost said
that there will be exactly 143 saloons
doing business Jan. 1, 1913.
Last year at this time there were
1913 saloons in Hammond, which shows
a considerable decrease in 1912 The
only given reason for the decrease is
that the saloon trade during the past
year has been very poor, some of the
saloonkeepers stating that they barely
took in enough to live on and pay for
their government and city licenses.
Not much of a decrease is expected in
the next year it is estimated by
Mr.. frost that fully rs per cent of the
sa1oonkeepers in Hammond own their
own property in which their business
is located No new saloons will be
permitted to open up according to the
law which was recently passed AT
present Hammond has nearly 100 sa :
looms more than the law permits. AZ
being the number according to the
population basis. The present law al
lows one saloon to each five hundred
population.

County sheriffs over the state of In

recently handed down by the appellate
court. The decision has a direct bear
Ing on the disposition of fees collected
by them. According to the ruling of
the court, all mileage fees shall be
turned over to the state and do not
belong to the sheriffs who have been
drawing the fees. The ruling was in
a case carried to the appellate court
from Brown county. In their opinion
the court recites that the mileage is
not a reimbursement for expenses. but
pont out that the supreme court of IN

state. In many counties the fees col

Dissatisfied Crown Point
Business Men Meet in
Conference.
Especial to The T1MEs.l

Crown Point. Ind, Dec. 6.-Several
Crown Point business men with suffi-
cient capital at their command have
been in conference for the last three or
four days incident to the running of a
second electric light plant here, their
plan being to buy the juice from the
Gary & Southern interurban plants and
distribute it needed among the con-
sumers they may secure In this city.
They have made thorough investiga-
tion into the practicality of the propo-
sition and claim that they Will be able
to furnish current and power for less
than an eight cent rate, If business
enough can be secured. The plan looks
plausible as they would not be en-
numbered with expensive machinery
and operating expenses but buy the
current direct from the mannufactur-
ers. The man behind the proposed new
venture wish at this time to have their
names withheld, until their plans are
further matured but there has been
enough done at this time to warrant
the statement that Crown Point will IN
all proba ability have competing cleo
trio system within a few months.
