O'ROURKE
PLEADS FOR
MEMORIAL

That the action of tho Hammond
city council in knocking out the plan
for recreation park as a memorial to
the soldiers and sailors OF tho late
war Is not 10 be the anal step in the
matter was decided today when the
Hammond Chamber of Commerce
adopted a resolution urging the COM
mittee. which presented the petition
to re-hle it and pledging the support
Of tho body.
The action was taken at the noon
day 5Jncheon of the Chamber Of Com
merce after Frank o'Rourke. chairman
Of the committee. had explained the
action Of the council lie reviewed
the days during the war when the boys
were accompanied 70 the railroad sta
tions, and the great things which the
people talked of doing for them when
they came home after the war.
I do not believe that the people Of
Hammond have forgotten in such a
short time the debt of appreciation
which they owe these boys and I do
ell represents the sentiment Of the
majority OF the citizens" said Mr.
o'Rourke. When We presented the
PCIAA4EA VIC diSQ AAcQ win II plan
which We suggested BY which the park
would be made salf supporting and
would pay for It's bonds just as the
lake front bath house is doing. In
other words the park would not cost
the city of Hammond one cent and all
this talk about placing a debt OF $780,
600 upon the tax payers was misrepre-
sentation."
Mr. o'Rourke proposes 20 have his
committee circulate new petitions
which will have so many signatures
that the council cannot ignore them.
He and many other citizens. who have
discussed the matter are opposed 20
having the matter go into the election
70 be made a political issue and the
subject for Misrepresentation. They
believe that it Is the duty of Ham
mond 10 put the project over and do 1t
this year.
Or. John Van der vries OF the u. S
Chamber Of Commerce delivered an ad-
dress today In behalf of the plan 70
erect a Chamber OF Commerce build
ing at Washington, where national
headquarters will be established. This
was suggested by william Howard
Taft when president as he believed
that the president and congress should
have source OF information and sug-
gestion representing all Of the busi-
ness OF the country, Just as labor and
the farmers are represented at Wash
ington.
He told OF the steps. which have
been taken and explained the benefits
TO the country at large Of having SEN
sible legislation for business in gem
eral instead OF having laws made for
the benefit OF certain classes of busi-.
ness TO the detriment OF others, as
has been frequently the case In the
past
Each Chamber OF Commerce organ
ization has been assessed proportion
ate sums to pay for this building
Hammond's quota was $500 Of which
small amount had already been paid.
After some discussion It was decided
TO raise as much as possible TODAY
and when the contributions were all
in it was found that the quota had
been subscribed. To cap It of, tele-
grams We're received from P ". Meyn
and A. Murray Turner at Palm Beach.

scriptions.
