Now as to name, the writer IN

a large city. created ~ the consoli-
dst.on OF a number OF citses. As in
this case. which is destemed to be
future very great city ard that
so in the near future. That raises
the question az to the requirements
Of what constitutes q name az
merit to be the worthy OF its use
in this case. IL is we'll known that
the first requirement in a very good
name is that Of exclusiveness. 50
that all efforts and means expended
to make that city known ana pop
ular she and her alone gets the
benefit and not have 10 share with
others OF the same name. Another
requirement that OF the name con-
veying as to the point of location Of
the so named city. Another re-
quirement that OF the name being
one easy to emember and there
fore the 50 named city soon be gen.
orally known at home and abroad
VIII mention = name that fills these
requirements. not barely so, but
does fully so. That name is East
Chicago. The United States pest
office directory gives a half dozen
| Calumets. so that name does not fill
the first requirements. as is seen.
The United States post office direc-
tory gives seventeen Hammonds. 50
| that name is even worse in 1t not
| filling the first requirement. as Is
seen. In the case of either Calu
met or Hammond the question be as
| to location OF that so named city
and in what state SO that neither
! these names do not fill this re.
| quirement as is seen. Neither name
! is we'll known nor popular so IS not
/ easy to think of or remember, so
neither fill that requirement. as is
| seen. Whereas the United States
post office directory gives only one
East Chicago. so that all efforts and
means expended to make that name
better known and more popular and
famous, It alone gets the benefit
besides in addressing a letter any
state in the union may be given, or
give no state. 1t comes to the only
East Chicago as there is no other
so that a letter addressed anywhere
in the world. the address need only
say East Chicago. L. S. A. and II IS
delivered as intended by the ad-
dresser therefore that name fills
the first requirement OF very good
name and as said II does, not barely
so. but does fully so. as Is seen Lo-
Gated In this section of this state,
which Is in close connection with
the best known, most popular ana
world renowned city, Chicago. 1t IS
| therefore naturally known as 10
! point Of location Of East Chicago, so
! this name fills that requirement, as
! is seen. The city name Chicago be-
! ing. as said. the best known city
named on earth. not second to none
so all know the name OF Chicago. 1t
Is easy to remember same and oy
nrefixing East one has the name
/ East Chicago. SO that name fills the
/ other requirement. as is seen. There

consolidated city, fills all require

as is well known. 1t is therefore
natural and IS business policy that

logical and most proper name for
The consolidated united city to have.
as is seen 1t IS that very name

East Chicago what she is today.
