MEMORIAL
PARK PROJECT


President John Huchel Of the Ham
mond Athletic Association has called g
meeting OF the members OF the Associ-
alton for this evening at eight O'Clock
at the Hammond court house.
Several subjects Of Importance will
come up for discussion this evening. the
chief among which will be the Soldiers
and Sailors Memorial Athletic Field
for which a petition was presented in
the Hammond city council, December 81.
Al that point the aldermen supporting
the measure pointed out the impracti-
cability Of the former recommendation
for a combined City Hall and Memorial
building. The city's need for an ath-
letic park was acknowledged by all ana
it was the general opinion that no bet
ter memorial to the soldiers and sailors
who fought in the war against Germany,
and Austria-Hungar could be erected
than a park which would provide a place
where athletic games and contests could
be staged. 1t was estimated that the
park with suitable recreation buildings
could be financed for s15O,O0O, whereas
tho combined city hall and memorial
building would have cost close to half a
million.
public hearing on the memorial
proposition will be held at special ses-
sion Of the city council tomorrow even
ing at 1880 o'clock. At this meeting.
any demonstrators will have their oppor
tunity to speak and present their argu-
ments against the proposition The
matter Will probably be finally threshed
out at tomorrows session so supporters
Of the plan are seeing to 1t that they
are well represented.
The meetings OF the Hammond Ath-
letlc Boosters Association at which the
memorial park was first discussed were
attended BY representative citizens from
all walks OF life. Although only a
little more than day was used in cir
culating the petitions which were pre-
sented to tho council practically every
person who had an opportunity gave his
hearty support.
