CIRCULATE
MEMORIAL
PETITIONS

Petitions asking the city council of
Hammond 10 authorize the erection OF
the much discussed Memorial Athletic
Park are being circulated today in all
parts of the city and the number Of
names attached is mounting rapidly.
Any person, man or woman, over the
age Of twenty-one is eligible TO sign
and ali are being approached.
In 3 short time after the petitions
were distributed yesterday more names
had been secured than we're on the or
igin5l petition. Workers will continue
to round up the signers until Tuesday
afternoon.
The main objection voiced is the ex-
pense which will fall upon the city but
when it is explained that the city will
only have to lend its credit for the en-
terprise after which the athletic park
will maintain itself aaid retire its own
bonds, this objection is removed. Many
say that If admission is to be charged to
baseball genes and like attractions
soldiers and sailors. The plan as or
iginally discussed provided that annual
passes to all events at the park be gran
ed TO the soldiers and sailors of the city.
However. the methods Of conducting the
ark will be left to the committee that
the city coupcity and Circuit court
Judge appoint later
Several of the councilmen who were
instrumtneal in having the action on the
original petition rescinded have now an
nounced they have changed their minds
and VIII vote either in favor of the new
petition or to reconsider the vote at the
last meeting They say that the prop
osidon had never been made clear to
them until the torn broke following the
las tcouncil meating.

Monday afternoon will be the big
event for which people OF the Calumet
region have been eagerly waiting for
months. the opening Of Indiana's fines;
and Hammonds largest theater. The
Parthenon.
Today with the removal Of the scat
folding and temporary housing from
in front OF the entrance and tbs ap-
pearance OF the opening announcement
on the big electric sign. the Parthenon
became Hammond's leading topic of
conversation and speculation. Many
have already visited the theater as IL
neared completion and have spread
he word Of It's marvels broadcast.
Scores today congresated IN front Of
the doors to obtain a glimpse OF the
interior.
When the theater was planned two
things were striven for above every
thing else. 1t must be made nreproof
and the ventilation should be as near
perfect as possible. These ends have
been attained II IS said that a bonflrs
could be started anywhere excepting
possibly on the stage and It would
burn itself. out without doing further
damage. Only a small amount OF COM
bustlble material Is found on the stage
not enough 10 make a real nre-but
the great steel curtain can be in
stantly interposed between the stage
and the auditorium.
One OF the first things which IS
noticed by the visitor Is the absence
OF steam radiators or other heating
devices This is because warm air is
used in heating the place. All air used
for ventilation IS arst. warmed TO the
desired temperature and then forced
into the theater through hundreds of
duets in all parts OF the building. Thus
a gentle How Of fresh air ample enough
to provide a complete change in the
entire space before stagnation takes
place. is in constant circulation. It is

Strict guarding OF the taxpayers IN
terests
Uniform courtesy to all.
Hundreds Of thousands Of dollars IN
omitted property placed on tax lists.
There are the outstanding features
Of Walter F. Bielefeld's administration
& treasurer of the city OF Hammond.
on his record embracing these points,
Mr.. Bielefeld is asking for Te-elelction.
His formal announcement az a candi-
date for the nomination subject to the
primaries in May. is made today.
When BielefeId ran for city treas
urer IN 1917 ne had big advantage.
It was his wide acquaintance He had
been a street car conductor for years
and had made host of friends. The
many peevinE situations which fret
the average street car trainman never
got under his hide" Waiter Jus,
smiled and did mis- best and even the
chronic crabs" liked him He early
learned the value Of courtesy and he
practiced 1t under the most trying con-
ditions.
This training has stood him in good
stead since entering tho tressurer's
office. OF all places in Hammond this
is the least suited for a man who IS
short on courtesy and good nature.
Walter has them both and during the
trying years when Increasing taxes
has made the office regular bureau
Of complaints and when the city was
having a hard time meeting the pay
roll he has pulled through with all of
his old friends intact and a neat ad-
dition TO the crowd
But treasurer must have backbone
with all Of his good nature Bielefeld
has shown he possesses that too. Every
so often when the rush let up. he and
HE aides have been going after prop
erty omitted when the assessors made
their rounds. Putting this on the du-
plicates always means a scrap. but
Walter has done It and won his fights.
He has brought many thousands Of
dollars into the city Golfers. which
would not have been there Il he had
not been on the Job. He has thwarted
several attempts to evade paying taxes
and has cleaned UP a bunch OF de-
linquents.
Three years ago his slogan was
First and Only Desire to Serve" when
he came before the voters and the
spirit and letter OF that solgan has
guided his course as treasurer. He sees
no reason for changing It now. HIs
idea Of public official is that he is a
servant of the people to whom trust
has been given and whose sacred duty
IS TO give honest. efficient. courteous
service in return for that confidence.
