NEWS OF THE CALUMET REGION XXX, NO. 110 THE HAMMOND TIMES or INTEKN Nswi SEEVICB HAMMOND, INDIANA, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1935 KING GEORGE SPEAKS MBMBEK or UNITED PRESS FINAL EDITION PRICE TWO CENTS THE THRONE Land Company Given $23,750 For Athletic Field VERDICT IS REACHED BY JURORS IN 45 MINUTES Tand Company Must Pay $7,000 in Taxes and Assessments on Tract tSPECIAL TO THE CROWN POINT, Oct. 25. to the nighly disputed acre Robertsdale a which the Hammond school city sought as an athletic field for George Rogers Clark school is to be turned over to the school trustees within the next few days. Circuit Judge T.

Joseph Sullivan s- ordered here yesterday afternoon when a jury awarded the Lake Land company, owner of the property, $23,750 for the acreage, but held in a second verdict that the firm was not entitled to any damages for the surrounding property, to which it also holds title. Must Pay Taxes The verdicts, reached by the jury in about 45 minutes, mean that the Lake Land company must pay cut of the $23,750 award approximately $7,000 in back taxes and assessments. This means the net io the owners will be $16,750. The pwners originally had asked $27,500 for the tract, plus $5,741 delinquencies. The tract was condemned-several-weeks ago-and-appraisers evaluated it at out of this was to come $5,471 in delinquencies.

Although- the jury's award is $2,585 over the condemned price of $21,175, that difference virtually will be made up by the fact that yesterday's verdict provides that the Lake Land company is to pay, in addition to the $5,471, all taxei for 1935, including the May speoial assessments and the general taxes due next month. State Senator Daniel D. Lynch, attorney for school board, was highly pleased at the verdict. Attorney Roy E.

''During the trial, which began 'Monday morning, "expert" witnesses for the Lake Land company evaluated the 9 tract at $32,000 and upwards, and damags to the surrounding property at $10,000 to $17.760.

Smiling, happy men and women, anxious to hear more about the plan of Dr. Francis E.

Seats were provided for only 3,500 in the hall at a hotel called the world's largest. Hundreds of delegates, unable to find chairs, filled the hallways. Many stood in the hotel lobbies and even in the streets. Between strictly convention business the delegates sang old songs, such "Old Black Joe," "Smiles" and "Kentucky Home" and several new ones, including "The Townsend Plan," sung to the tune of ''America." Officials of the convention were kept busy registering late arrivals and accepting $2 from each of them. More than 6,000, it was claimed by the officials, had already paid their registration fee.

Dr. Townsend said there were between four and six million members of the Townsend clubs but denied all these bad paid the annual $1.20 regular membership tax. He said California led the nation -in members with more than 1,500 clubs. Hundreds of copies of a book entitled "That Man Townsend" were sold to the delegates. AH Were Smiling "These people here are all smiling and happy and hopeful but they are not thinking of that $200 monthly for themselves," said Dr.

Townsend. "They are thinking about how they will spend that money when it comes to aid others, to bring prosperity to the nation.

(U.P.)--Presenting a cheerful picture of the New Deal's efforts to lessen the nation's relief load, President Roosveelt today reported that about 5,000,000 persons have been reemployed since he entered the White House on March 4, 1933.

The nation, ha said, is emerging "happily and rapidly" from the "years of deep depression," and "even those industries which were long backward in showing signs of recovery are putting their best foot forward." He declared he has greater confidence that private industry is beginning to take up the unemployment slack, and urged the public to continue contributions to private charities so that federal, state and local government might be freed from relief burdens. Mr. Roosevelt's optimistic report was contained in a brief talk last night in behalf of the 1935 mobilization for human needs. It was delivered from the diplomatic reception room of the White House just 12 hours after he returned to the capital from a three-week seagoing vacation. Declaring that he possessed "good news," the president added: "The results of the September employment survey have just come to me from the secretary of labor.

During the month of September 350,000 men and women were returned to employment in the reporting private industries of the nation, and the money in weekly pay envelopes of these industries was $12,000,000 greater than their weekly pay envelopes in the previous month, of August."

FOUR HOESS HANDS AND POSHALK Sign Petition tor State Tax Board Hearing on Hammond School Taxes The four Hoess brothers, six employes of their machine shop, and Harvey Post signed the appeal which is bringing the state tax commission to Hammond tomorrow for a hearing on the 1 1 5 Hammond school city levy for 1936.

Signatories on the appeal are Frank L. Hoess, 1818 Summer head of the Hammond Taxpayers association; William M. Hoess, same address; Jossph S. Hoess, 20 Elizabeth John P. Hoess, 1818 Summer st.

Harvey Post, Taxpayers association official and unseated cily treasurer-elect, and the following Hoess machine shop employes: Peter Wild, 4544 Morris H. Hausknealt, 835 Morris st; Ed Bunde, 7120 Osborne Calvin McClellan, 836 Eaton Carl Elliott, 1160 Summer and Andrew S. Potrasa, 4815 Hickory ave. Wants to Stop Notes The hearing will start tomorrow at 9:30 a. m.

in the council chambers of the new city hall. Following a hearing on the school budget -September 20, Frank Hoess said the aim of the Hammond Taxpayers association is to putra halt to the school board's action in spending monies before they are appropriated. "In other words," he declared at the time, "we want to put a stop to this practice of the board signing notes." County Auditor Joseph Finerty, secretary of the Lake County Board of Tax Adjustment, said at the September hearing that the school city may run short of funds by the end of the year under its present budget. The budget is set up on an anticipated levy of next year, he pointed out, whereas the cash which the school city is to receive this fall will be based on a lower Jevy. Tomorrow's session, like the one in September, promises to have its interesting scenes.

J. Tide Cook, representing the Hammond Teachers association, threw the September session in an uproar as it neared its end when he challenged the sincerity of the Hammond Taxpayers association. His remarks met with applause and he had made his point, although immediately ruled out of order by Henry Peterson, chairman of the tax adjustment board. Caldwell Assails Hoess Supt. L.

L. Cald-ell also challenged Frank Hoess at the September He denied emphatically that the school budget was not published in as detailed form as the 1927 statutes provide. They were published in more detailed form, even, than is provided for in instructions from the state board of accounts, he declared. The $1.15 school Jevy represents an increase of 9 cents over the previous one. Although the rate last year was $1.06, special appropriations probably brought last year's budget to near $1.15.

It is this that has proved a thorn to the Hammond Taxpayers association. This year, in contrast to former ones, the board does not plan to sell tax anticipation warrants. The Hammond Taxpayers association in September had demanded a 20 per cent budget cut. Funds art: divided as follows in the budget (A-- original levy asked by the board last year; B-- revised levy upheld by state tax board; C-levy for 1936; D-- amount to be raised therefrom) Fund-- A Special .35 .35 .40 $347,480 Tuition' Bond Vocational .40 21 .08 .425 .46 399,602 ,21 .25 217,175 .075 .04 34,748 $1.10 $1.06 $1.15 $999,005 The budget is based on an evaluation ot $86,870,000.
