attention of the meeting to the fact
that Peru is not the only city suffering
and that Hammonds sympathy should
into all the suffering cities. He said
that the people of Hammond ought to
be good for at least $4,000. Mr.. Bel
man pointed out that this could best be
done through tbe Red Cross society.
The amount of money that the city
ury was a subject for some discussion.
While there is no legal provision for
such an appropriation. the meeting pro-
ceeded to indorse any appropriation
that the council might make, satisfied
that no citizen would question the
propriety in SO good cause.
In behalf of the city officials, how
ever, Judge Lawrence Becker however
urged the meeting not to let its senti-
ment carry away good Judgment His
remarks were based on suggestions for
a $1,000 appropriation He said Ham
mond should take its place along with
other third class cities and not lag be-
hind in the size of its contribution. but
that there was no occasion for 1T to
out-reach and out-distance all other
cities in the state. He was not OPP
posed to some appropriation, however.
When 1t was found that new discus
was finally decided to give the ap-
pointed committee full power to act in
accordance with their best judgment.

The lack of through train service is
felt especially in the mails. Mail from

in by the various accommodation trains
which carry MAIL but most of 1t gets
to Chicago in a roundabout way and
then gets back to Hammond and re-
routed to other Lake County cities.

meeting this morning was that every
body who can afford it will want to
give little more and therefore a spe-
cial committee was appointed to re-
ceive these funds.
The following committees worked
untiringly this afternoon TO get the re-
lief car under way:
For the city administration: John J..
Rohde. John Kane and Frank O'Rourke.
this committee having been appointed
by Mayor Smalley to expend the city's
relief funds.
For the Chamber of Commences: w. C.
this committee having been appointed
by President Reiter to apply the funds
raised by subscriptions and to cooper
ate with Mayor Smaliey's committee.
The committee on loading the special
car is composed of H p. Downey, DR..
j. T. Clark and Charles Hubbard.
John M. Stinson, member of the Ham
mond Motor Club was delegated as a
committee of one to make arrange
ments to have a number of motor boats
taken TO Peru on fat cars which the
C. & o. railroad offered to furnish free
of charge.
The suggestion for motor boats came
! from Judge Barnett at the last minute
and its carrying out is as important
as getting provisions into the stricken
city. Judge Barnett Informed the
meeting that Peru railroad officials
state that some people in the city are
completely marooned and crying and
begging for food and assistance. Be-
cause of lack of boats 1t is impossible
to reach them.
| The meeting lasted just one hour.
Many good questions and suggestions
were raised but by common consent
! all discussion was cut short in order
| that the committee could get to work
without a minutes delay Through
out the meeting it was emphasized that
what is needed is food clothing and
shelter, and that these supplies could
not be purchased in the stricken city
| with any amount of money.
I The question then arose to how to
spend the Hammond money, whether
directly or through the Red Cross DR..
Mary Jackson. a member of the Ameri-
| can Red Cross. informed the meeting
| that she was positive that no mistake
| could be made In sending provisions di-
rectly from Hammond, and, further
more, gave the meeting assurance that
