HESSvILLE
HAMMOND
ARE MARRIED
Hessville and Hammond are one

Hessville and Hammond are one.
The Supreme court of Indiana yes
terday handed down a ruling denying
the petition for rehearing which had
been filed by attorneys for the village
shortly after the original decision has
been given by the highest court of the
state.
The decision as read by Chief Jus
tice Townsend deplores the fact that
the annexation will cause confusion in
regard to taxation and other matters
but declares that 1t is the duty Of the
court 70 declare the law and not to
alter it because the "appellees have
placed themselves in their present con-
ditiou."
Hessville has been running its
schools practically without money since
the opening OF the school year because
funds which otherwise would have
been paid the school city have been
held UP at Crown Point pending the
decision OF the court. 1t win now be
UP to the Hammond school authorities
to make provision for keeping the
education OF the young OF the terri
tory annexed.
Since the Hainond election campaign
got under way Hessville people have
taken the annexation more or less for
granted and have gradually warmed
up to the scrap along with other ctti-
zens. Several not meetings have been
held by the republicans in the Twelfth
and Thirteenth Wards and II has been
noticeable that representatives from
practically every home have been
present.
The citizens OF the Hessville terri
tory have insisted that they aren't
much interested in whether or not
Plummer avenue Is tough street.
What they have demanded is: What
Is Hammond going going to do for US
now that we are annexed?v Speakers
have governed themselves accordingly
and have outlined what Hessville may
expect.
The ruling ends a series of court /
lights extending over nearly ten years.
