To fire all OF the present city Off
cials and employees and start all over
again with the commission form OF

suggested as offering a ray Of hope
TO West Hammond in her present FIN

The proposal was made last night
at mass meeting at the wentworth

called the meeting in order TO inform

mintstrss-n went into onioe with the
city $4,000 IN debt This old deot
has been reduced Is S7.936 thanks 10
the saloons. But the silver shower
from licenses has stopped and new
means of raising money must be de-
viscd.
About thirty North siders were
present at the meeting and at times
the session quite stormy as charges
if incfieiency were exchanged. How
ever. they realize that little good can
come Of complaining Of the past and
that they have serious business ahead
Of them
They are up against the proposition
right now of running a city with
monthly payroll alone az S2lo0 and
with vcry little money coming in dur
ing the next six months
Mayor kamradt announced that he
had been thinking Of suggesting tax
# from s. UP on each property owner
for the removal of garbage Others
did not agree with him as they fcur-
ed the people would want real gar
base collection service If they were
paying for II and good service would
necessitate more expense on the CITY
Joe Miller and Tom O.Canner were
strong champions Of the commission

now has and their speeches wcre warm
" a9plauded. The meeting ended
with nothing direct being done bat
those present left with much food tor
thought
