FEW DEL|NQUENTS
IN v. HAMMOND

West Hammond's list or delin-
quent taxpayers is smaller this year
than ever before.
This statement was made yester-
day by city Clerk Andrew Stacho-
vicz on his return from Chicago
where he had been making the
citys annual settlement with the
county. He had just finished the
work of collecting special assess
ments on street and sewer improve
ments.
There were only a few delin-
quents on the special assessments
and these were for the most part
property owners who do not live in
West Hammond. They purchased
lots years ago during the town $
first boom and have paid little at
tention TO them since.
Peter Anker. tax collector for
Thornton township had the surprise
of his career when he visited West
Hammond in making his rounds
this year. Instead of the poor coll
lections which have attended the
hard times in other parts of the
township he found collections bet
ter than ever before. Practically
all taxes were paid on the first col
lection date.

M0NON SMASH
RESULTS IN
DAMAGE SUIT

Lack OF safety precautions at the
crossing over the Monon railroad
lust north of ST John is charged in
a suit for $4,000 damages filed to-
day against the railroad company
by the estate OF the late George
10th OF whiting who was killed at
the crossing September Il.
The action was brought in the
Hammond superior court by Micileel
Kozacik, Jr., OF whiting as admin
istrator Of Mr.. Toth's estate The
complaint, prepared by Attoreny d.
j. Moran calls attention to the fact
that the highway and railroad both
run through deep cuts in approach
ing the crossing and that view OF
approaching trains is obst-ucted.
At one time, the complaint states
the railroad company had "A signal
bell and a red disk which waved
back and forth when a train neared
the point. 1t is said that this signal
was removed and a different bell
was installed which might easily
be mistaken for a COW bell or a
distant church or farm bell II 10
also charged that the crossing sign
had been painted white and had no
lettering on it at the time of the
tragedy.
10th was riding with John Potas-
mix in a light Ford truck and were
on their way home from trip after
mushrooms. 10th left a widow and
eight children.

of the engineers
The only objection registered was
by people living on I54th street.
Some were in favor of having an
asphalt pavement instead of con-
crete but IL was found that the ma
jority favored concrete. However,
they are nearly all agreed that the
I54th street pavement should be
thirty six feet wide instead of thir-
ty-two as provided in the specifca-
tions
Mayor Paul Kamradt explained
that this can be taken care of if
the property owners will bring in a
petition asking that the street be
made wider.
/ was stated that construction
work would start on the improve
ments soon enough for their com
pletion this year. Ordinances must
be passed ard some legal details at
tended to before the contracts can
be let. This VIII be pushed as rapid
~ as possible.

further additions TO this plant were
possible. The Indiana purchase. he
insisted, was merely made to give
