REAL ESTATE IN CITY
WILL Be No CHEAPER

Is Hammond real estate going to be
cheaper? Roscoe z. Woods, president
OF the Hammond Real Estate Board.
undertakes to answer this question in
an analysis OF the local real estate
situation which he makes at this time.
There is a tendency on the part OF
some observers TO lay too much stress
on the national and International fea-
lures of the present business situs-
tion, said Woods.
While these general conditions to
affect the industries and through re
duced pay rolls affect the community
locally yet there are areas in various
parts of the United States where busi-
ness IS normal or better than normal
due to local conditions.
The local situation as regards Ham
mond was never more sound Let US

BOY SCOUTS
ARE READY
FOR lob

BOY Scouts, backed with proper au-
thority, from the police department
will appear at street crossings in the
vicinity OF Hammond schools as traf-
hc cops. Monday morning If present
plans go through.
The boys will relieve the police of
the work Of escorting small children
across busy streets morning, noon and
evening as they are going TO and from
school.
Chief OF Police Peter Austgen asked
the school authorities and Boy Scout
Council If an arrangement could not be
m ade whereby the Scouts would be
permitted to perform this important
public service and at the same time
have the advantage OF the training in
leadership which will be afforded
Inquiry among the boys disclosed
that the youths were eager TO show
the public how well they could handle
such q Job. They pointed out how
well the Scouts had performed their
work at the Gettysburg reunion of the
6. A. r. several years ago and showed
that they were already acting as traf-
fc cops in some of the large cities dur
ing certain parts Of the day.
Principals OF the different schools
will be permitted to select the Scouts
which they consider ft for the work
and these boys will probably be given
thorough course OF instruction by
Chief Austgen Saturday. In case the
boys take up their new Jobs Monday
morning II is hoped to have a police
man at each school TO help them in
getting started and keep a watchful
eye to see that traffic recognizes their
authority.
Each boy will be provided with a
card and pencil in order that he can
take the number Of machines which do
not heed his signals. Violators will
be reported to police headquarters and
arrested.
