civics as "she really am He pointed
out the council chamber where many
frameups have occurred and told how
Battleaxe Castleman had made 1t IA
nous in his aldermanic days.
While his honor did not dwell upon
how to make policemen and f1remen
and city health inspectors do political
work instead of city work, 1t is pre-
sumed that they will get an idea of
this by reading the Gary newspapers.
Several ballot boxes were pointed
out to the students and one bystander
said that a knowledge of how to op-
crate them is better than all of the
text books in the world. Prof. Knots
was voted the thanks of the class
when he got through with his lesson.

CITY FOR NEW CHARGE

lister Is Result of Visit
With Bishop.

The Rev. Oakel F. Hall, who attended
the NJ. E. conference in Hammond last
week and who Is q graduate of Wabash
college, and pastor of the First Con-
gregational church of Boston, Mass, at
a salary of $500. will return to Indiana
and become pastor OF the Methodist
churches at the villages of Advance and
New Ross at salary of less than one
half of what he has been receiving in
the east.
This action IS the result of a con-
viction on the part of Mr.. Hall that the
rural church affords an opportunity for
aggressive and successful work. and is
opposed by every member of the rich
and influential church of which Mr..
Hall is the pastor.
Mr.. Hall attended the recent session
CT the Northwest Indiana conference at

STREET To
Be PAVED
THIS FALL

State Line street is to be paved on
the Indiana side this fall If the plans
of the interested property owners carry.
What has held up the actual construc-
ton work on the contract. which was
let to william Ahlborn, has been the
failure to End a market for the bonds.
Finally Ahlborn found where the
bonds could be placed providing they
could be discounted two per cent. He
then put it up to the interests ed prop
erty owners TO r4ise $500 of the amount
of the discount.
The Hammond and Suburban Realty
Comraay readily assented to pay its
sha.~s of the extra cost. In fact It ap-
propriated 500 towards the fund. Eff
forts Will be made to induce the own
ers of the West Hornewood addition.

and William D. Weiss to raise the
balance of the sum needed.

| yards OF sand I'm the next month to he
! able to get the street constructed this

| able to do so.
The paving of State Line street has
been delayed for years for various rea-
sons and now that there is a prospect
