that Jacob Rimbach at early day
paid $1,6O0.OO for the present Lion
store block. 1t is worth $5O0,OOO.OO to-
day. The democratic adminfstrat ton
of Hammond had nothing more to do
with the growth in value of the city's
property than they have had with Mr..
Rimbach's property or thnt of any

They also claim that MT. SmaIIey as
city comptroller fnaugurated the pres
emit system of accounting by which a
check Is kept upon the collection and
disbursement of funds Tht office of
comptroller was created by the 1eEis-
lature part of the cities and towns
law of 1905. The law referred to re-
quires the comptroller to keep separate
accounts of appropriations to the diff
erent departments. to audit these ac-
counts, to make statements to the trea-
surer and other officers of apcrocria-
tons made by the council and to man
age the financial department of the
city. This law prescribes his duty in
detail. Those who wrote the law in
augurated the system and 1t applies
to all cities In the state of certain
classes. The comptroller has no choice
| or alternative ms to what he will do.
Inc INV HayA Wnat ne snaft ana puts

WHAT THE REPUBLICAN
TICKET STANDS FOR

Here are the things for which the Re-
publican ticket stands as outlined in
the platform. The things for which the
party declares should receive the con-
sideration of every voter
/. We declare that the officers of
the city are charged with administer
ing it's affairs, belong to the city, and
the city does not belong to them. We
denounce official inactivity, Incidence,
and shortsightedness which attempt
and accomplish nothing, until driven to
the effort by an outraged and over
whelmlng public sentiment.
2 Necessary works for the proper
drainage and sanitation of the city are
favored and should be constructed only
when desired by the majority of those
having to pay for them. We denounce
this sections says, any attempt to build
sewage disposal stations. or other
works which are designed to protect
the health of and otherwise benefit the
whole city. by levying a tax on real
estate in a limited district and allow
ing others who will receive the bene-
fits thereof to escape the payment of
any part of the cost
3. We deplore the incompetency and
shortsightedness of city officials who
are compelled to confess their mistakes
in this respect (public works. by build
ing second and third sewer in a street
because previous sewers were improp-
erly constructed
4. We regard the water works
question as of the greatest Importance.
, We deplore the inefficiency of Ham
mond's water supply. and charge its
present disgraceful condition to the in ;
difference of the party in power for
nearly ter years. We pledge the re-
publican part yto immediate efforts to
secure adequate water pressure at all
times, to the end that there shall be
sufficient water for the needs of all
the people of the city and to protect
our property from fire.
