discussion Of he sanitary district which
has been under consideration for the
past few years.
The question OF sanitary district
has been revived by citizens Of Ham

opportune for some action and that tile
cities should decide at this time wheth
er there should be Individual or con

while East Chicago is inclined toward
publication system Of It's own
The sanitary district question came
before the East Chicago Chamber OF
Commerce a Few weeks ago and upon
recommendation Of committee ap-
pointed TO look into the matter II was
decided to recommend to the city au-
thorities that East Chicago refuse to
cooperate with Hammond or whiting
and establish sewerage disposal
plant Of its own. The matter has
never been presented to the city coun-
ell by the Chamber Of Commerce but
it is believed that the council hold
the same opinion as that held by the
Chamber OF Commerce. The Chamber
Of Commerce decided that an indivId-
ual plant would be cheaper for the
citizens OF East Chicago and equally
as satisfactory as a sanitary district.
Reports OF the committee OF engin-
eers Of Hammond. East Chicago. Whit
ing and Gary viii be submitted at the
