No AUTO
SHOW FOR
HAMMOND
Committee Unable to Find
Structure Big Enough to
Put On This Years Show.

Hammond is TO have no automobile
show this year and a. a result. great
clouds of gloom have settled over mo-
tor enthusiasts who had been looking
forward eagerly toward the day when
the big event was to be pulled off
Early IN the winter a committee
composed of Ed. Bohling( George HUT
Gibson, r 9. Durham. A. J Wall and
Art Snodgrass was appointed TO do the
preliminary work and get tho big idea
under way. The first thing TO be con
sidercd was the show room big enough
70 accommodate an affair of the pro
portions Hammond is capable OF put
ting on Right there the preparations
stopped Each member of the commit
tee had been expressly delegated 10
find the quarters and each man shakes
his head sadly today.
Many suggestions we're received uur
as yet the committee Is no nearer the
object OF their search than when they
started There are about eighteen su-
tomobie manufacturers represented IN
Hammond who would want space IN
the show It is figured that each OF
these should require Aoor space meas
uring about s0x30 feet The Hammond
Country Club house was measured and
found too small. The Lyndora hotel
was suggested BY the mana cement does
not care to have It used for such pur-
poses The Country Club would ac-
commodatc only about eight exhibits.
Buildings proposed or in course OF
construction in Hammond were consid-
cred for a while but il became evident
that the automobile season would be
well under way before any Of them
were ready for the show. The possi-
bility of holding the exhibit under 4
mammoth tent has also been thought
Of and might even yet be tried If ex-
hibitors prove willing TO take chances
on the weather
While the outlook is gloomy. the COM
mittee is still willing to receive sue-
gestions from anyone who thinks he
may have solution for their perplex-
ing problem.
