ninety acres on the outskirts of the

largest buildings of the university and

PRINCESS BRAGANZA
WILL RETURN HERE.
Talking of International marriages
brings to mind the report circulated
last week that Princess Braganza,
who was Miss Anita Stewart, is
coming back to America after FIVE
years of exile, part of the time as
an alien enemy. 1t is thought that
large majority of our American
millionaires who for years have
made their homes in England and
on the continent will return to these
shores shortly.
For a long time it has been pre-
dicted that the next year or so would
find such notables as Mrs. John w.
Mackay. Mrs. Frances II. Leggett,
Mrs. William B. Leeds. Mrs. George
Ogilvy Haig (who will be remembered
as Charlotte Astor), and numerous
others. embarking for the U. S. A..
with the idea of making their per-
, manent home here.
The reason advanced Is the colossal
tax which Great Britain has placed
upon large incomes. We. even the
most patriotic of US. think we are pay
ing heavy taxes here in America. but

a letter from her daughter. who is

the other day, lone really has to pay
the most outrageous prices in Europe
for even the barest necessities of life. -
1t seems to me we are doing that right
here, don't you think?
Due to the heavy taxation which
will continue in force for a number
of years Europe's population of Amer
lean milionaires is certain to be de-
pleted. Despite their bast incomes

Delegation Goes to Crown
Point to Seek Re Assess
ment of North Township
From Board of Review.

City officials of East Chicago and a
committee Of the Chamber Of Commerce
went to Crown Point today to appear
before the County Board of Equaliza-
ton
The delegation will back up the re-
quest Of Township Assessor James
Clements for enough deputies and suf-
fcint clerical help to re-check the Twin
City valuations if not the whole town
ship
During the past few days the com
mittee has discovered not only great
discrepancies in the East Chicago vaiu-
ations on both residence and business
property but industrial valuations as
well. A number Of important improve
ments have not been assessed al all
The only way in which the small as
well as the large taxpayers can secure
justice is to have the results re-check-
ed by the assessor and such assistance
as he may be able to secure.
The general attitude of the North
Township is to either insist that other
valuations in other townships be in
creased or North Township be reduced
from 25 per cent 10 so per cent. The
situation is regarded as critical in the
extreme and the East Chicago delega-
tion VIII strenuously endeavor to Sc
cure a proper equalization at Crown

CITY DADS
HOLD SLOW
SESSION

Although the usual amount Of time
was consumed in long and heated discus
sions. little actual business was tran
sacted by the Hammond city council in
its meeting last night. When adjourn
ment came after 1880 O'Clock matters
with few exceptions. stood Just as they
were at the opening OF the session.
Mayor Brown had an ordinance intro
duced providing for the appointment of
two extra policemen to be on duty at
the bathing beach. This met with oppo-
sition from the first and when the vote
was taken on second reading action was
halted
At the last session the Board Of Works
had been instructed to order the Gary
& Interurban line to quit unloading
freight on Sibley st. near Sohl st. a
communication from the company stated
that this would mean the discontinuance
of the roads freight business 1t was
then decided to back down on the former
demand and let the board see If the OBJ
jectionable features could not be elimi-
mated.
Councilman Reilly introduced a motion
to nave the Finance committee invcsti-
gate the possibility of having band
concerts weekly in the city parks. This
motion was lost on the vote
That old flowing well buried some
where at the rear of the city hall was
revived once more. The Board Of
Works had reported unfavorably on the
proposal to reopen the well for the use
of the public. Many of the aldermen
believed it should be tried anyway, so
the water department now has orders TO
locate the old pipe open it and analyze
the water.

1t was recommended that the city
purchaset a motor dump truck to make

Citizens are kicking regularly about the
slowness of the garbage wagons. Some
