HANNAUER
MAKES REPORT

The following report has been made
BY George Hannauer. chairman of the
Boys Work Committee to the Rotary
Club:
Hammond, Ind, June 18th, 1921
Hammond Rotary Club.
Hammond. Indiana
Gentlemen:
In connection with the matter OF
providing play grounds for children:
1t was our original program TO get
this work started by calling upon the
School Board to allow tho use of the
school grounds during the vacation
season and by getting the city to pro-
vide attendants, Informal interviews
with members Of the School Board de
veloped that the School Board was in
position TO allow the use of the ground
providing attendants were available to
supervise the children at play as that
has been found essential to safety.
Such aldermen as we talked TO were
very much interested in the subject
but they all felt that there were no
funds available al this time for his
work
The vacation season begins this
week and We feel It essential that
start be made at once in connection
with this matter and We further be
leve that the work should not be con
fided 70 a temporary arrangement for
certain of the school grounds, but that
an adequate, permanent plan should
be worked out in connection with the
city officials; that funds should be pro
vided permanently and by taxation II
possible. and that the work should be
sponsored and followed UP by a Play
Ground Organization devoted especial
ly to that purpose
We believe that the organization Of
Play Grounds Association for this
purpose would be a proper activity for
Rotary and one OF the greatest civic
value
We recommend:
First That Rotary undertake TO
organize Play Grounds Association
for Hammond the membership to be
as representative as possible
Second. That Rotary invite the CO.
operation OF other civic organizations.
Third. That Rotary undertake TO
provide. partially from its funds avail
able for It's boys work and partially
from other sources. a small fund that
will enable the Play Grounds Associa-
tion to complete its organization and
to Immediately start the use Of at
least two play grounds to demonstrate
the value Of the work TO the commun-
ity
In order that these Fairgrounds Will
do the maximum amount Of good. they
would naturally be located where the
need IS most pressing. With your ap-
proval. the Boys Work Committee viii
undertake the preliminary steps to-
ward the formation OF a Play Grounds
Associ alton within the next week.
Yours very truly

been getting better right along. GaTy

Of the best ball players in the town
and putting uniforms on them for a
day or so in order that they can play
on the team"
The Gary police had 1000 tickets
printed for the game and are eApect
ing to run short That means a big
crowd" said Capt. Beasley and that's

be hit with a pop bottle early in the

No, we're going to play just as If Gary

ESPECIAL 10 IHE TlkESf
CROWN POINT. Ind June "a
Breaking last years record for the
period by over million dollars. Lake
county's greatest semi-annual dlstri-
button or taxes VIII take place next
Tuesday, June rs
This announcement was made today
by County Treasurer Ralph Bradford
after he and Auditor G. NJ. Poland had
completed their semi-annu settlement
OF taxes last night. Forces OF the two
Offices have been busy on this task
for soma time and the work has now
been finished.
The total tax collection on hrst in
stallments this year reached sS2e25ss-
43. There still remains about $4,000. 600
to be collected next fall Another rec
ord was also made in the amount of
delinquents which total s35s,oes25
which Is just 400, 600 more than for
the same period last year. County Of
icials believe this marked increase is
due to the prevailing unemploym en- I
which in the past has always been ac-
companied by slowness n paving taxes.
Schools are the heaviest recipients in
the distribution. Fifty-one per cent OF
the total distribution. or sl.s67.o5s.55 So
Is the amount awarded TO the schools
Half of this. or about sSs2,ooo, has al
ready been advanced and spent. so that
the schools will really receive only an
other sss2oo0. This advance payment
was necesstated by the enormous debts
which the schools have been facing due
to the refusal OF the state tax board
to tx the tax levy al a sufficiently high
rate during the last two years.

ASSOCIATION
CONFERS WITH
COOK COUNTY
Forest Preserve Commission
ers Outline Their Plans At
Meeting Last Night.

That the Hammond Country Club
may become playground section Of
the great Cook County Forest Preserve
left the rumor stage last night and be-
came almost probability whom repre-
s4ntatives Of the board Of commission
ers of Cook county met with directors
Of the Country Club Association TO
discuss the proposition.
Last nights meeting saw no offer TO
sell or buy. The visitors were In Ham
nond merely to outline their plans IN
case they decided TO make the purch-
ase while the Hammond men were
there 10 hnd whether the golf course
was to be perpetuated or whether after
a few years the tract might be sub
divided and sold.
The commissioners stated that in
case Cook county took over the valu
able property, II would be preserved as
a public play ground in connections
With the present wooded tract which Il
ad3oIns. The plans which they have
in mind at present call for the extern
sion Of the present golf links into an
eighteen-hole course which would be
open to the pubiso>
This meets With the approval Of the
Hammond parties and If they have
proper assurance that such steps Will
be followed 1t IS likely that they will
be willing TO go through with the PRO-
position.
Another meeting Will probably be
held soon after the commissioners have
been able to have specifications prepar-
ID from surveys which their engineers
viii make.

FORCER MAKES
HIMSELF KNOWN NOW

Do you know a man by the name OF
Frank Weiss? He IS a good looking
fellow. about Ave feet. eight .nches
tall, 25 years old, wearing a double
breasted suit and cap. He is a piker.
He forges checks for a living. and
makes $3.50 on each deal
Weiss has passed checks on Roths-
child and Hirsch. the Winner Clothing
store, Abe Marks store and he tried
il on the Liberal Credit Clothing COM
pany. His method is unique in the an
nails of check passers. Instead of the
big rake of sought by the average
forger, Weiss cashes a large check in
payment for a suit. leaving the suit
behind for alterations. He says he
needs a little cash and makes the
check good for $3.50 more than the
price OF the suit. He takes the money
and promises TO return for the suit
when it is ready. He disappears from
the scene. Loss, $3.50.
Weiss checks are all made against
the Peoples State Bank OF Hammond
He is a suave. gentlemanly appearing
rascal. and in as much as he leaves
suit behind. Offering to pay for It in
advance. there Is usually no questioned
raised as to whether or not he has
money in the bank The Liberal Credit
Clothing company refused TO take the
check. however They have a suit
which hts Weiss perfectly and the po-
lice are trying TO hnd him IN order to
give him his fitting.

WILL j. S.

CUT AGAIN?

VIII the United States Steel CORPORA

This is the question that Is on the
minds OF thousands of Gary steel
Workers and their families following
the late rumor that another wage cut
Of approximately Is per cent would be-
como effective by the first part Of July
Although there Is nothing substantial
TO base the rumor and officials deny
knowing anything about it, the rumor
Of the cut has been heard in the mills
and in the downtown business district
for several weeks. Many are OF the
opinion that he will come
Should such a thing happen, there
Will be general dissatisfaction among

penses still at a high figure. rents still
soaring in some instances and q great
deal of !dleness. worlonen say that
they will be unable to make ends meet
Workmen state that their salaries
are Just about as low as they can afford
TO have them and continue to live.
Months ago they were cut down from
twelve and thirteen hours a day to
eight. nine and ten hours a day and
six days a week. instead Of seven, be-
sides losing time and a half overtime
which many of them were making on
top OF this the wage cut averaging ap-
proximately 20 per cent came along,
cutting their two weeks pay check
down to more than half in many cases
Another cut on top OF this would al
most ruin them. they say.
If rents and living expenses in gen
eral would drop. the mill workers
would not mind the wage cuts But
very few landlords have lowered their
rents in fact many have raised Months
ago il was almost impossible to get
