BOND TROUBLES
AGAIN WORRYING
CITY TREASURER
Hammond officials Counsel
Predicts Sensational
Disclosures.

BIZ Times Special
HAMMOND, Ind. Sept. 27-For
the second time within a few
months the grip of Henry Heckler
in the Office of Hammond city
treasurer is slipping through action
of the surety on his official bond in
asking to be relieved of responsible
ity. The total bond is Sl,490,000, of
which 100000 covers collections
under the new Barrett law and the
remainder civil city tax collections.
An Indiana statute does not re-
quire that in such cases any rea-
son for cancellation be stated. How
ever, Joseph Conroy, a Democrat
who is attorney for Heckler, who is
a Republican, declares the cancel
lation move is part of conspiracy
to get Heckler out of office.
Sensational Expose Promised
The attorney says Heckler has
engaged the Masonic temple here
as the scene for a mass meeting at
which he will make Startling dis
closures" regarding the bond Situa-
ton. The treasurer this week ap-
peared at a Democratic rally, but
Conroy declared this was not an
indication that he would change
parties.
However, according to the attor-
ney, Heckler, preceding the fall
election, will continue to fight what
he terms a Republican machine.
Cause Not Revealed
In the latest cancellation action,
filed in Lake circuit court by Ar
thur L. Gilliom, former attorney
general of Indiana, the statute per-
hitting secrecy as to cause is OBJ
served.
Reports are current here that the
same companies which underworld
the bond issued by the United
States Fidelity and Guaranty Com
pany. which is seeking release, have
withdrawn, leaving it with a load
of responsibility it considers too
heavy.
It is also said that the fact that
three Hammond banks in which
city funds are deposited have been
closed since the bond was signed,
has a bearing on the case.
Unless Heckler supplies a new
bond within ten days, his office can
be declared vacant and successor
chosen.
