HAS
NEW IDEA
FOR BILL
New Drainage District Bill
Fathered by Gary and
Whiting Will Be Intro
duced in the Legislature
Soon.

Mayor Thomas E. Knots and Capt.
H s. Norton. president of the Gary
Commercial club. last night left for In
legislature a new drainage district bill
that meets with the approval of Gary
and Whiting and which is expected to
command the support of the other
North township cities.
The bill was drawn up by Kemper X.
Knapp. general counsel of the steel
corporation and is acceptable to the
Standard OIL company. Unlike the
Gavit bill 1t places the majority repre-
sentation in the hands OF Gary and
Whiting, representation being on the
basis of taxation which scheme would
give Gary twice the representation of
Hammond.
No further details of the bill have
been given out. 1t is acceptable to
Mayor Knots he will control, with
Writings assistance. the drainage dis
trict. The Gary city hall contractors
headed by Bill Cain. who constitute a
political influence to be reckoned with,
are heavy for the bill as it places Mayor
Knots in the saddle.
Gary and Writings objection to the
first sanitary district bill was because
of the non-equal scheme of representa-
ton and the high tax levy wanted The
new bill meets with the approval OF
the big corporations in Gary and Whit
ing and 1T is believed that it's terms
! when made public. will be agreed to by
the rest OF the district.

COLD SPELL
rs HARD ON
POOR FOLK

The recent cold spell is exposing
many of the poor people in North
township to hardship and suffering, ac-
cording to complaints that come into
the hands of Miss Mabel Tibbott, the
investigator in the office of Trustee
John c. Becker.
Miss Tibbott said this morning that
of late the number of cases in Ham
mond had increased and that her ex-
periences shows that most of them are
due to the wage-earner in the family
being either out of work or sick The
demand for fuel has not been as heavy
as she expected il to be, but this she
says can be partly accounted for by
the fact that many of the poorer peo-
pie get their coal supply from the
railroad tracks. She says the TOWNSHIP
is spending more money for groceries
than for fuel.
Occasionally. Miss Tibbott says. she
learns of case were assistance is
necessary. but which is refused because
it comes from public funds. In such
cases she says. she hashad. the co.
operation from private parties or char.
table organizations.

MISS BROOKS
WISHED TO QUIT
Says She Withdrew Inten-
tionally from Race.

Not forgetfulness, but intention is
given by Virginia Brooks as the reason
for her failure to file her petition for
nomination as police magistrate Of
West Hammond.
"The suffrage parade and my inter-
est in 1t had nothing to do with IT."
said Miss Brooks. THE last day for
fling was Feb. 25, and I did not go to
Washington until March /.
The reason that | did not file my
application is because there are now
some good candidates in the field. If
one of them can be nominated. very
well. There is still time to come out
on an independent ticket If 1 don't ap-
prove of the nominee"
1t had been said that interest in the
suffrage parade at Washington was re-
sponsible for Miss Brooks failure to
qualify.

MILLER GOOD FOLK
ARE STIRRED UP


Mi11er reop1e are up IN the air be-.
cause OF the new passenger tarifr of
the South Shore f5aterurban line Nh
der the past and present tarin the fare
from Gary to Hammond was and is 10
cents. Gary to Miller is ten cents regu-
lar and five cents Communication. Under
the old rate from Miller to Hammond
was 20 cents and under the new tarir
80 cents.
A few days ago some Miller young
men got on the car at that place and
handed the conductor their five-cent
communication tickets which carried
them to Gary Then one of the number
got of and bought tickets to Ham
mond for time each. This would make
their total fare is cents each instead
of 80 cents The conductor refused to
accept the Gary-Hammond tickets and
the Miller passengers were elected from
the train.
To go to Hammond from Miller it is
necessary to buy a through ticket.
However, cheaper fare can be had by
buying a ticket to Gary and then
waiting for the next car. Should this
not be done a passenger arriving In
Gary must go back to Miller and start
all over again If he wants to go to
Hammond.

WORK ON PAXTON
HOME TO START
AS Soon as Spring Weather
Warns Up.

The work of construction on w. G..
Paxton's splendid new residence, which
is to be built on South Holman street.
just outside of the city limits, is to be-
gin as soon as the weather warns up.
The plans, which were made by
Architect Wilson of Chicago have been
revised by Architect A. C. Berry of
Hammond and many improvements in
the plans have been made by him.
Architect Berry is to have the su-
perintendency of the work. In order
to overcome the 10 per cent increase in
the cost of building due to the in
creased demands of the men engaged in
the building trades, the materials are
to be purchased by the supervising
architect and the contractor will simply
furnish the labor.
