NO PUBLIC
BUILDINGS
GOING Up

For the first time in years there are
no public budafngs in process of con-
struction in Hammond and little pros
pect of any being erected for at least
one year to come Mac Turner, the arch
itect. is drawing plans and specifica-
tions for a rectory al the All Saints
church to cost $4,000 and this with the
Baptist church proposed to cost nearly
$500 the Knoerzer $4,000 business
block at the Broken Corner and the
Dawney building at Calumet avenue to
100000
IT'S the poorest season in years.
said William Hutton of the Hutton
architects. 1 can't understand why
Hammond should stand still in the
midst of all this prosperity.
"As bad as we need schools and a
new city hall it seems a shame that
nothing is done. Where will we be in
year? Well 1 expect TO see a grand
awakening after the fall election
The home builders are having more
than they can do and by fall hundred
and sixty new residences will have been
erected in Hammond this summer
There is plenty of money.
Another complaint is that Hammond
does not encourage foreign capital as
much as it is needed. There is a de-
mand for three hundred new homes in
the city today. they say, but there are
no inducements offered TO anyone to
come in and put them UP.

FINDS SHOCKING CASE
Of BRUTALITY
Tom Harle Finds Men Beat
ing Animals With
Auto Tires.

Tom Harle, business manager for the
Teamsters Union favors the re-install-
alton of the bygone public whipping
post He is furious today over the dis
covery yesterday of barbarious prac-
tices that have been going on in Ham
mond for some time.
Harle came upon two drivers yester-
day who were employing hard-rubber
automobile tires, cut in twain, as per-
suaders to the animals they were driv-
ing. Harle who is ever on the look
out for cruel horsemen captured the
whips after an argument
ANY man that will use such methods
in driving deserves to be whipped in
public just hard he Furnishes his
horses or mules" said Harle
The teamster official Travelled direct
from the spot where he had parted the
drivers from their hard rubber whips
to the headquarters of the Humane
Society
Harle says that he has the names
of the drivers but that he will investi-
gate their story before giving them
out. One driver claimed that he was in
structed by his employer to use the
rubber whips which are as heavy and
cutting as anything that could be used
, on a horse except iron or steel rods

DIR. HOWAT MAKES

The Public.

Not with the idea of giving publicity
to what is already well known fact.
but rather to show the voters of Ham
mond a deserved courtesy DR.. w. F.
Howat to-day places his name in the
list of Democratic candidates in THE
TIMES. He modestly asks their support
for the Demcratic mayoralty nomina-
tion in the primaries to be held on Au-
gust 2.
Something more specific in the way
of a platform may be expected in a
short time and those who know DR.
Howat's views on municipal economy
look forward to something good. fol
he is known to have some decided
views on the subject.
The Democratic situation during the
past few weeks has been extremely in
teresting. Time and again it has beer
changed with cham meleon-like alacrity
and DIR. Howat, who was at first pitiec
for having no organization. is now
charged with having a machine and Z
manager. Astute politicians placed
him in the center of a ring" In max,
