are having it out today at the Federal
building over the location OF harbors

headed the Indiana delegation spoke in
favor of the Indiana Calumet region.
The governor met the Indiana Har-
Dor. whiting & Hammond men at tho
hotel and w. J. Winery of Hammond
who was the spokesman explained to
Gov. Marshall concisely what the Lake
County men wanted to do. Mr.. WINERY
was followed by Mayor Parks of Whit
ing who declared that Indiana didn't
propose to let her dog be kicked around
any longer by Chicago and the COVER
nor promised to assist all he could in
presenting Indiana's claims. Col Ros-
selle presided at the meeting of the hi
state waterway delegations. As Gov.
Marshall wanted to leave he was given
permission to speak first w. J. whinery
presented Gov. Marshall In good shape
and the executive said that as a lawyer
and politician he didn't propose to
! tell board of engineers their business
but he asked for square deal for In
diana and said the people demanded it.
He said that the question was one that
concerned both states and that Chicago
had no more right to claim precedence
over Indiana by reason of its size than
any other part of the country.

was followed by r. r Mccormick and
