More recreation parks for Hammond
are expected to result from action
taken last evening by the city council
on a motion made by Alderman Frank
Martin. The city in a short time viii

more parks.
Mr.. Martin brought Up a matter.
which was presented. at the Rotary
club recently by DR.. G. L. smith. sec
retary Of the board Of education Mr.
Smith at that time stated that. owing
to the building up of the north side
the school site opposite the parochial
school. which was purchased by the
board several years ago. had been
found to be no longer centrally To-
Gated. New ground has been pur-
chased for the new Lincoln school and
Mr.. Smith suggested that the city pur-
chase the block and make park Of it.
The proposition met with favor
among the councilmcn and it was
voted to instruct the board Of works tc
enter into negotiations with the board
OF education looking to the purchase
Of the park side. The board was also
instructed to inspect park cites in

IS AGAINST
MEMORIAL.


Rooertsdale registered resoundine
kick against proceeding with erection.
Of the recreation park as a memorial
to the soldiers and sailors. who fought
in the war against Germany, when a
petition signed by 522 citizens wa
presented to the Hammond city couu-
ell last night.
The petition asked that the council
rescind its former action on the mat
ter and let it be voted upon by the
people in the election next fall. The
memorial proposition has been a topic
OF heated discussion in Robertsdale 81
late. Meetings were held IN which r.
was said that the rest of the city wa.
trying to slip something over without
RobertsdaIe's consent This opposi-
ton finally erystauzed in the petition
The petition was accepted by The
council and referred to the judiciar,
committee to report back next meet
ing night.
Dr.. W E. Nichols appeared befort
the council and made lengthy speech
in favor of the ordinance which limit
ed parking OF automobiles to one-half
hour in the business sections of Hoh-
man and State streets. The ordinance
was tabled when II was introduced at
meeting last month and there are
indications that agitation in favor Of
it will result in its revival soon.
The committee composed of Alder
men Reilly. VOORHEES, and Keeler re-
ported unfavorabiy upon the sugges-
tion made recently to cut down the
number OF wards in the city and re-
duce the number OF aldermen. Th-
council approved the report.
Favorable action was taken on tho
motion Of Alderman Martin to have
the public service commission petition
ed to have the water rates on two
story buildings made equitable. At
present the shape OF the roof of q
house determines whether it shall b.
rated at so cents or 81.
The Hammond post Of the American
Legion will soon vacate its quarters
in the Diamond building on State
street and as suitable rooms arc not
now available, Alderman VOORHEES,
suggested that the county commits
sioners be asked to permit the use
of room in the Hammond court house
by the legion free OF rent. A mo-
tion to this effect passed unanimously
Heckiemau's resolution that the city
endorse the new Masonic temple pro
ject and lend encouragement wherever
possible met with hearty approval
Martin brought up the Gleason road
matter, which - now before the county
board of commissioners. As Ham

would be forced to pay its proportion

ht he said the city should voice its
opposition to the project which is
planned primarily to connect Gary and
Miller Beach. Alderman Reissig made
a motion to the effect that the finance
committee Of the council cooperate
with the chamber Of commerce and the
other city councils in lighting the mat
ter in the courts and that the city

her mother she said. shortly after
this man.left, I noticed that my mother
was acting kind Or queer ana I asked
her what the trouble was. All that
she would say to me, is the electric
chair. I do not know what she meant
by this, as we have never had any real
trouble in our family or among our rel
atiyes and where she got this idea OF
the chair I do not know. 1t was about
an hour later after our talk. that my
mother went to another room, and a
second later I heard a loud noise, like
the report OF a revolver"

clusively TO a wheel chair, has been

her home also ran a little confection-
