side, and the city of Hammond south
Of Chicago ave, and west OF Holman

During the several meetings which
the Committee held the question of
meters or measured service Co the
city OF Hammond, was frequently dis
cussed and various plans suggested.
All new business buildings are now
required to go on meter; all other
business houses are being changed
over to meter service as rapidly as
possible to comply with section II OF
the water ordinance. Considerable dis
cussion was had as TO whether elm
nation OF all flat rates should be at
tempted by Wholesale immediate
change. but this plan was vigorously
opposed by some. and the Committee
out gradually. though not perhaps as
rapidly as desired. yet taking every
thing into consideration, the situation
in that respect will be satisfactory if
consistent progress Is made.
we understand also that the city
Administration is prepared, when nee
essary during the coming summer to
enforce strict regulations concerning

II has been definitely stated by those
