CL AIM TO KNOW
NAUGHT OF PETITION
Three O'Clock Bank Closing
May Yet Come About,
However.

Hammond bank clerks were kid
ding each other yesterday about sign
ing a petition to have the banks closed
at o'clock instead of in the after
noon. The word was passed around
that the petition was in the hands of
the clerks in the First National bank,
but no one knew anything of it today,
at least no petition was seen.
The origin of the report was hard to
trace today. but the only solution that
could be offered that the early
closing petition gag was worked on
some new employe in one of the banks
While there is nothing authoritative
on the subject 3 o'clock closing would
nevertheless be very popular with the
bank officials and the employees. 1t is
an old subject in Hammond, and as
long as all or nearly all are agreed
on it, it seems strange that the banks
do not get together on it. One bank
official speaking of this today said that
the plan could be success only If all
the institutions would cooperate.
The banks now close at o'clock
but if the days business has been
heavy or at certain times of the month
the clerks must work until nearly 6

region, close at o'clock in the after
noon

APPOINTED

Mayor John D. Smalley last night
made popular appointment when he
named Oscar Krinbill. district mana ger

commissioner. Mr. Krinbill takes up
his new duties on Saturday March 1st.

to select republican in his place and
his decision Immediately fell upon Mr..
Krinbill. The other two members or
the board are Anton Taper, who is
the president and George Drackert.
Krinbill was practically the only man
Mayor Smalley considered, knowing
that his appointment would be an emil
nently satisfactory one.
His appointment at this time is espe-
cially fortunate. because the board is
considering the installation Of an cleo

SANITARY
DISTRICT
BILL IS IN

Indianapolis. Ind. Feb. 27.-A bill
of Importance to the people of Lake
County was introduced yesterday by
Senator Gavit providing for the estab-
lishment of sanitary districts in Lake
County. The passage of the bill ulti-
mately would permit every city in the
county to dispose of its sewage
through the Chicago drainage canal.
Senator Gavit said the engineers of
the Chicago canal have agreed to take
care of the sewage without charge to
the citizens of the Indiana county, al
though a. few years ago they refused to
permit them to do so. Senator Gavit
said he had discussed the question with
Governor Ralston, and it is probable
than an effort will be made to get the
measure passed in spite of the lateness
of the session.

SENATE S
ACTION IS
AWAITED
If Bill Becomes Law Query
Is Generally Asked When
Track Elevation in Ham
mond May Come; Schroe-
ter's Valuable Suggestion.

Hammond's track elevation bill,
which was introduced in the legislature
by Representative Carter. and which
passed the house unanimously last
Saturday, is now in the hands of the
senate committee from which it is
expected it viii be issued in due time
There is no positive information to be
had just now when the senate will act
on the measure.
In anticipation of getting the meas
ure through the legislature and signed
by the governor. the question is al
ready being asked, how soon track
elevation could be expected for Ham
mond? Nobody thus far has hazarded
a guess. If Hammond will be sa tis-
fed with having the tracks in the busi-
ness district elevated to begin with,
the Improvement may come within five
years. The bill in it's present form
provides that the city as whole shall
pay 20 per cent of the cost of eleva-
tion over public thoroughfares, but
only 15 per cent for elevations over
streets used by street car lines The
latter companies are to pay the other
10 per cent. which, however, is not to
exceed $4,000. Mayor Smalley. dis
cussing the project this morning, said
that one of the first requisites for
Hammond would be the establishing
of sinking fund. to raise money in
advance for the project
Jacob Schroeder, member of the board
of public works, discussing elevation
made valuable suggestion which will
undoubtedly be worth considering. Mr..
Schroeter's suggestion was that the
railroads elevating through the busi-
ness district should use corcrete ARCH
seass instead of using dirt fi1line,
which Is supported by concrete walls,
the object of this being that the arch
ways in the first place can be made or
namental and can be so built as to fur
nish large rooms for business of all
kinds He said he was impressed with
the possibilities of this when he saw
the elegant sub-elevation stores in
Berlin and Paris, and it had often oc-
Cured to him why the shrewd Amer
lean had never seen the advantage of
