LAWSUIT
WAGED FOR
20 YEARS

A long and bitterly contested law
suit which grew out of titles trans
ferred nearly "a quarter of century
ago, came TO a conclusion in the ap-
pellate court last week.
The case was that of Henry Solt-
wedel against John Gartner for quiet
of title to a fifty-foot lot in Logan
street in Hammond. The court ruled
in favor of Gartner, giving him title
to a lot which Soltwedel has held by
adverse possession for more than
twenty years. Altogether there have
been three suits in the lower courts
and one in the appellate court.
The original cost of the lot was onIy
a few hundred dollars. but the litiga-
tion is said to have cost many times
the original cost.
Nearly twenty-five years ago Solt-
wedel bought lot from the late NJ NJ.
Towle. BY mistake ne took possession
of the wrong lot, and subsequently
John Gartner acquired title to the lot
held by Soltwedel by mistake. About
eight years ago Gartner started quiet

WATER IS
THE LEADING
QUESTION

1t is generally understood by friends
of the reelected city administration
that the problem of providing Ham,
mond with water, at all times plenti-
full and drinkable, Will be made the
paramount issue of the next four year
term at the expense of the deep sewer
project.
This persistent piece of information
is in part borne out by the steps of
the board of public works in resembling
all previous action on the 100000
sewer system. BY this method the city
has defeated the injunction proceedings
of antis and 1t trusts that in a different
form the worthy work of building
system OF deep sewers and pumping
station to dispose of sewage will be ac-
ceptable to the people.
