RE|LLEY
REGULAR
WATCHDOG

SEEING that no one else seemed 70
care about the matter. Alderman Pat
rick Reilly. a member of the Street and
Alley committee OF the Hammond
council. took it upon his shoulders to
remind the Campbell Construction Co.
that there were certain specifications In
the Holman st. paving contract that
must be observed Saturday noon he
halted the work until a steam roller
could be put in operation.
The contract required that the old
street bed be flushed with water and
rolled with ten-ton roller in order
TO prevent settling after the pavement
was laid Concrete had been laid from
Hoffman ST. to state ST.. along the east
side of Holman with only water being
used to settle the sand. Mr.. Reilly and
others saw that in view of the fact that
Holman ST. has been spaded up half q
dozen times this year 1t would be a
matter OF only a few months before
the sand settled away from the con-
crete and result in it breaking down
Mr. Reilly called halt at noon and
said he would tie up the whole job II
a roller was not produced instanter.
Before long light weight one was put
in use and this morning the ten-ton
roller which has been at Indiana Har-
Dor, was started rolling the bed. At
the same time Mr. Reilly called the
contractors attention to the fact that
material UNFIT for such purposes was
being mixed into concrete and this also
WAS remedied.

NEW LIGHT CAR IS
AWAITED WITH INTEREST
Wiley's Overland Has Set
tied Some Auto Problems
in New Car.

According to persistent reports going
the WillysrOverIand company in build
ing its forthcoming new model. has sue
cessfully solved the problem of combin-
ing riding comfort with light weight.
To build motor car light in weight
and embodying quality, economy and
simplicity of design. yet possessing all
the comfortable riding characteristics of
the larger and heavier vehicles. has been
one of the absorbing aims of the auto
mobile industry for a number of years.
The problem of reaching ideal light
weight has been puzzling one and was
not made possible of solution until engi-
ncering attention centered upon springs.
Light began to dawn when the WHY'S
Overland engineers attacked the light
weight and comfort problem convinced
that new type of spring must be de-
vised. The three-point cantilever spring
suspension was the result and is the
basic principle in the new car which
Overland will soon offer. This principle
admits Of short wheel base. without
which light weight cannot be achieved.
and at the same time gives the new
model long riding or spring base which
produces comfort
The advantage of light weight con-
struction in motor cars long has been
recognized IN the industry. For years
metallurg ists have devoted their entire
time and energy TO perfectly metals
strong and durable enough to withstand
persistent road shocks. yet light in
weight. They have accomplished much
towards this end. as comparison of
the cars of today with those of yester-
day will readily disclose.
The new Overland four-spring sus-
pension has. il is claimed by the COM
pany's engineers. provided through it's
departure 'Srom the conventional design
large-car comfort in riding in an eco
nomical automobile of actual light
weight design. Their work was guided
by the principle laid down by John y.
WHY'S. president of the company. that
all of these advsnts ges were TO be in
corporated with no sacrifice of the econ
omy of operation and upkeep that the
public has long expected of the light
weight The heavier automobiles
have the advantage of longer wheel
bases. the equivalent of which IS at
tanned in the Overland four through its
unusual spring suspension
The introduction of the new Overland
model is awaited with keen interest
Inquiries OF dealers. at the factory and
