PARK BOARD
WORKS WITH
TURNERF|ELD
New Acreage Acquired For
Athletic Field, Other
Matters Taken Up

Purchase of an additional acre
and quarter at a cost of 50, 30;
erection of wire barricades along
the river bank; construction of a
grandstand and bieachers with a
seating capacity of $500; and act
ual laying out of a diamond and
play ground are some of the things
the Hammond park board is contem-
plating or has completed in con-
nection with Turner Field, at Calu-
met and the river.
Purchase of tho extra land has
been completed. The strip contain
ing more than an acre situated at
the north boundary of the park was
bought last week from Mrs. r. +.
Storrer. Of Whiting. for $3.50. II
IS part of Soils Addition. The
board did think of buying also
strip of sround extending the length
of the park and bordering it on the
south. There are about a dozen
houses standing on the tract. The
price asked was in the neighbor-
hood of $4,000. This the board con-
cidered out of question. Success in
the present project however may
enthuse the city admin
istration TO a. point where the pur-
chase of additional ground may be
thought feasible.
The mot recent acquisition aug
ments the former tract OF five acres
with strip approximately 134x390
feet. It will probably be used as
the site of the grandstand. AS con-
templated now the batter would face
the southeast, standing some so feet
from the river line and in the north
west corner OF the field.
Work of making a 'fll" in the
river is progressing rapidly. This
provide additional space on which
the park board expect to erect huge
wire barriers TO guard against long
aies (Which, probably most often.
because of the lay out of the dia-
mond, would be foul balls).

school children of the City know all
about 1t. They follow with keen
interest the day by day transforma-

WEATHER
H|NDERS
ST. REPAIRS

We can't work while it rains"
That's the answer A j. Swanson,
president Of the Hammond Board "
Public Works, offers taxpayers OF
the city while scores of streets
daily become more impossible and
mortoists begin to wonder whether
1t is safer not to drive and cheaper
to leave the car in the garage.
Swanson says that virtually so
per cent of Hammond thoroughfares
must be repaired with asphalt and
I that asphalt repairs can't be made
in wet weather. The mild winter
days of the past two months slip
bed by unobserved apparently by
1 the board and now city streets be-
gin 10 take on the aspect of she'll
torn highways through battle scar

But the board admits that per-
haps it will spend as much as $780,
600 for street repairs before the
year IS out. Maybe more. Probably
a lot more. Bigger holes take more
asphalt. Also more time. Also
they mean new streets at premature
stages.
| Anyway that's the situation Mo-
florists. taxpayers, property owners
have been asking what is gong TO
be done There's the answer right
from Mr.. Swanson:
