MINUTE SERVICE
Especial to THE TIMES. )

Crown Point, Ind, Feb Pot is
more than probable that thirty minute
service will be established on the Gary

ture, the steady increase in traffic and
business warranting the service. With
cars every thirty minutes the service
would be ideal and transportation ia
ci1ities to the Hub the best in the

will decide to establish the service as

POLICE CHIEF SAYS

Hundreds of bad negroes in
Gary are being driven out of the
city. Many of them would seek a

refuse employment, food or shelter
to any additional negroes who
come into town. Beware of the
Gary negro" is Martins warning,
che is a bad man or we would not

IS
SOON TO Be
DISCLOSED

Attorney r. B. McAleer, representing
the board of education of Hammond,
has submitted the matter of the sale
ability of the bonds of the school city
to bond attorneys at Indianapolis and
expects to be able to inform the board
members of the true status of the bond
question in few days
The school board is waiting to hear
this report before going ahead with
certain improvements that are being
demanded by the citizens in various
sections OF the city.
The report that bond attorneys had
already disapproved of any plan on
the part of the school city to issue
bonds result of the litigation in
which the school city had become in
volved is not true.
The matter has been properly pre-
sented to the bond attorneys together
with the transcript in all of the courts
in which the case was tried and from
this data. and only from this can a
competent opinion on the validity of
the bonds be based
Who Wrote Letter.
What started the rumor that the
an issue of bonds was a letter which
superintendent C NJ Mcdaniel received
from some bond house asking about
prospective issues of bonds
Mcdaniel sent back a resume of the
litigation and is understood to have re-
ceived discouraging letter. He says,
however, that he comedies no RESPONSE
BILE bond attorney would venture an
opinion on such a case in which so few
of the facts are known.
The Hammond board of education is
anxious to get busy on the plans for a
new school house. and 1t is expected
that 1t will have a record for accom-
plishment, from now en- that will
make up for long period of inactiv-
ity.
One Way to Graft.
Fred Krost said today. while in a
philosophical mood, There has been
board IN times past that have been
vetc1rtne out Of curiostty ste $50 tust
where grating might be sAccessful
and have come to the conclusion that
there is just one way to beat the school
city out OF any money That way Is
to let contract for a $250.o00 school,
! building and then let the contractor
skin the job for $4,000 which Nigh,
be divided up among those who were
guilty of the oversight"
He says that this emphasizes the i'm
portance to every citizen to examine

and see that the contractors live ur
