City Clerk Otto Duelke was author
lied by the board of public works this
morning to advertise for bids on a
deep sewer system for Hammond to
cost within the estimate of the city
engineer. S67S,0o0. The board made
the decision after three months OF de-
bate in which petitions for and against t
were circulated in a city-wide cam
paign. The matter has been agitated
for FIVE years. Two members of the
board voted in favor and one against,
John L. Rohde being the dissenting
member. Both Swanton and Schroeder
voted aye" The antis have $500
pledged to finance injunction proceed
ings and threaten to do so.
The results of balloting were unsat-
isfactory. There were 434 petitioners
for the sewer and SIT against it after
the wedding out process was complete
Mayor Smalley stated that the board
was influenced by the fact that the 434
favoring the sewer are all big land
owners and represent the city more
than the demonstrators. Added to this
is the uncontrovertable fact that the
petitions of both pros and cons were
not representative of the city. The
silent majority and the pressing need
of the sewer system Influenced Messrs
Schroeder and Swanton.

No More Violations.

Out of the two dozen baseball pools
which have been operating in various
saloons, poolrooms and cigar stores in
Hammond since the opening of the
baseball season closed by orders issued
by Chief Austgen, not one has attempt
ed to reopen the popular game, accord
ing to the police. and it is not probable
that an attempt will be made this sea-
son at least.
The ban was not only placed on
daily baseball pools. but other sorts of
gambling and is due to a number of
complaints that have been made at the
central station. One saloonkeeper fs
reported to have allowed s'rhum

stop card playing in his place.
