to improve Holman street TO the dis
advantage of Calumet avenue. mas
much his interests are primarily on
Holman street. but that he took the
larger view of the matter, and that in
his estimation the opening of Calumet
avenue was a good thing for the entire
city.
1t was made clear at the meeting that
if the people fail to open and widen
Calumet avenue this time that it will
in all probability never become the
street that it apparently is destined to
be. Everybody realizes this quite well.
Method of Procedure Explained.
In the meeting last night were quite

benefited district. people who, accord
ing to the location of their lots. are
assessed anywhere from 81 to $40, on
the sliding scale adopted by the board.

John Rohde. member of the board,
explained the boards position. He said
it is doubtful whether the council will
add to the $500 appropriation from

penses. The balance of the money he
said. had to be raised in the benefited

side streets and that this money was
merely to pay the actual damage on

streets say they are being taxed too
high. and with no prospects to get more
out ofsthe general fund, the whole pro-

of fixing the benefits and damages. In

CAN YOU BEAT THIS?
WorkinEman's Ten Rest Reasons why
You should Own a Home In Ham,

In my opinion the ten best reasons
why workingman should own nome

1. Hammond has no fictitious real
values, having grown up gradually and
never been doomed. It is on a solid
foundation.
2. Has modern fire. police and school
systems.
8. Because comparatively speak
ing) it is a high wage town with but
average living expenses.
4. Because the geographical location
of Hammond (across the road from Chi
cago) makes it the eastern and south
ern gateway to Chicago and to Gary
(the future Pittsburg OF the westl.
5. Hammond, being a town Of many
and varied manufactures. is not de-
pendent on any concern in particular
for prosperity, and is accordingly less
affected by panics.
6. 1t is adjacent to other live manu-
featuring towns that can be reached in
a few minutes for nickel car fare.
Z. 1t is to be connected by direct
water route with the new harbor
s. Because it is easy TO find employ
ment where there are many and varied
manufacturing establishments within
a short travelling distance.
3. Because of the unearned value
necessarily accruing to real estate sit
uated as Hammond is.

WALL STREET SEES
FAT STEEL YEARS

1t was this general note of business
confidence and the light of better things

made OF the fact that the statement of

the first quarter of the year due to be

a poor showing. 1t was commonly
