FRANK WAS
SURPRISED
At RESULTS

Frank Wachewicz has received several
surprises since he opened his sale cf
lots in the north part Of Hammond
Sunday. The first jolt came when forty
one were disposed OF during the after
noon. He had expected to do a big
business. but the crowd that swarmed
to the sale took him off his feet
On Tuesday they began dropping IN
a his office to close up the deals. Then
he received another shock Instead of
taking advantage of the easy payments.
forty per cent Of the customers had spot
cash and the majority Of them said they
We're expecting to build their houses next
spring. aM.Hs
Nfro more deals were closed Tuesday
and with the number of prospects which
are still holding of it is believed that
the entire tract OF siNty-one lots Will
easily be closed out this week
An odd feature Of the sale was the
fact that several of the purchasers of
the s19S lots were men who had paid
as high as 5000 for lots in the same
community less than ten years ago.

TO investigate first
Petitions were on hand from both the
police and fire departments asking for
salary increases. Representatives Of
both departments were present at the
meeting and explained things to the
board. Living expenses. have advanced
10 such an extent that the 1922 now
drawn by patrolmen and hremen is not
sufficient. AS a result two policemen
have. quit. two more are expecting 10
leave within a few days and several
others are forced to do extra work in
order to make a living.
The aldermen were willing enough TO
grant the increase and after some dis
cussion the patrolmen and frernen were
raised to $3.50 per month and the same
increase of $3.50 was given all officers.
All this was embodied in the motion
which was made TO grant the petitions.
Then Mayor Brown made a speech.
He asked his aldermen where they were
going to get the money TO increase the
salaries and pointed out that the city's
Indebtedness was now practically up 20
its legal limit. He added that he was
through borrowing money from the
banks and henceforth they would have
to do it themselves. A motion was made
TO reconsider and after the mayor had
decided a tie vote a new motion was
made TO grant the raise in salaries If
the finance committee finds ii can be
done. A special meeting will be calle
as soon as the finance committee com
pietes its investigation
Councilman L. Q. Smith brought UP
that old matter of abolishing the pres

usual stormy reception and received the
votes of only Smith. Martin and Reilly.
