FIRE A LOSS
TO v. K0Lb

The fire in the old A. c. Torbett car
shops on the G. H. Hammond Co.'S
grounds yesterday will cost Deputy City
Treasurer William Kolb between $500
and $1,000, as he had bought the build
ing some time ago with view OF
wrecking it He had no insurance on
1t. as he had planned to wreck the
building in the very near future in or
der to get the brick and the lumber
out of 1t to erect another building for
which he already had the contract
The brick, of course, are still good. but
he lost the valuable lumber and also
the contract for the new building
which he planned to erect.
The origin of the fire Is unknown,
and is attributed either to crossed
wires or to boys. who are known to
make the old buildings a loafing place.

GARY LOOKS WITH
ASKANCE At BILL

AS a result Of the special meeting of
the Gary Comercial Club last night a
delegation OF Gary citizens will attend
the sanitary district conference at the
Hammond Chamber of Commerce to-
night and they will outline Gary's ideas
of the sanitary district. In case It Is
agreed that any city shall have the
right to say whether 1t shall enter the
district the Garyites will be for the
bill. If this is not agreed to the Gary
Commercial club will then send a dele
CATION to Indianapolis to fght the sani-
tary district measure.
what Gary Objects To.
/ Commercial club members last night
went after the bill as II is now propos-
ed with - heavy hand Ss - = 4 I
The bill as 1t now stands stipu1ates
an annual tax of 2 per cent which
would make Gary's tax some $440. 900
and extra tax of II of one per cent
Gary will demand that the tax be but
y of one per cent
The bill also stipulates that upon
the petition of 500 freeholders the
county commissioners can call for an
election creating a sanitary district.
Gary objects to this because one or
more municipalities may be against the
district and the vote of the balance of
the district could infiict upon the pro-
testing communities something that
they do not want. 1t is also believed
that the present bill takes away the
sewer control from the city and would
also give Gary, which pays twice as
much as taxes as Hammond, but one
trustee out of board of five thereby
removing all vestige of Gary control
in the board.
Demand Equitable Adjustment.

shall be a lower scheme of taxation, a

SCHOOL
IS TO GO
ON AGAIN

Charles l. Surprise, deputy United
States clerk in Hammond. was today
appointed trustee by the referee-in-
bankruptcy for the Calumet Institute,
in Hammond. his Endorsement for this
important position having been unani-
nous by the creditors.
Mr. Surprise qualified Immediately and
furnished the required $4,000 bond.
He was the receiver for the institute
which went into voluntary bankruptcy
and has administered his office most
satisfactorily. While he has been re-
ceiver and trustee in a number of
cases, the Calumet Institute is by far
the most important
The affairs of the Calumet Institute
are such that he expects to devote
most of his time to it.
Referee Sheridan gave practically the
entire afternoon and part of the fore
noon to the Calumet Institute.
VIII Continue BUSINESS
For the present it is decided to con-
tinue the business as far as the ex-
tension work is concerned. The big
gest creditors. who are mainly big
printing companies have agreed to this
believing that in this way they can
retrieve some or all the money that
they have invested.
Dougal Cree, the president of the Cal
umet Institute, too. is urging this
course, as he is confident that In this
way he can continue to sell books and
make use of the book plates which are
a big asset for an operating corpora
ton. N E#ia
The total direct Liabilities of the
company are $4,000. and contingent
liabilities may bring this figure up to
s115. 5.000. Against this there are assets
consisting of the building. represent
ing approximately $4,000, books and
fixtures worth $4,000 books in the
hands of printers. worth 100000, and
six sets of book plates which cost in
the neighborhood of $4,000. Their
value now, however, is speculative il
depending with what success the bus
mess can be continued.
If satisfactory price is offered for
the building a the corner of Holman
and ogden streets, 1t will be sold II
not the business will be continued in
IL and part of the building will be rent

of $50 month rent for the upper floor

TO CHANGE
IT'S SCOPE:

In organizing the Fidelity Security
company of Hammond. E. r. Jacobson,
president of the Straube Piano COM
pany of Hammond, who is one of the

provided an organization which will
enable the piano company to enlarge
its scope. The Fidelity company is in
corporated for $4,000 and while 1t is
authorized to deal in real estate and
bonds the intentions is to deal in the
latter only for the present The bonds
to be dealt in are such as grow out of
the piano company's business.
While the organization of the Fidel-
ity company is one evidence of growth
and progress of the piano company
more substantial evidence of this is
to follow soon as contract is now
pending for third story to one of the
factory buildings, 50x120 feet. This ad-
ditional story. which will cost in the
neighborhood of $4,000, is also to be
used for factory purposes.
