(Continued from pngre l. may roughly be divided Into two classes, those for the protection of health and those for the regulating and licensing of business in Hammond. They constitute part of the scheme that Mayor Becker has adopted in re vising old ordinances and adopting new ones until the city of Hammond shall have a code broad enough and complete enough for many years to come. v They are largely copied from those in force in other well regulated cities, and while there seems no good cause for having some of them at this time m cji.v iiiuy ue prinecteu wnen me occasion arises. One of the ordinances adopted, that of regulating the gun clubs and " shooting galleries, for In stances, while It seems uncalled for at this time, since there are no shooting galleries in Hammond, will neverthe less prove to be a wise provision. The oidlnances provides for a $25 license for the maintaining of a shooting gal lery, and then only if two-thirds of the property owners In block on the same frontage have given their consent. In this way the property owners are pro tected against a shooting gallery as such an establishment has a tendency tf.- cheapen property values. While it is premature in the way of collecting a license fee it is timely in preventing shooting galleries from coming into exclusive neighborhoods. Strict Rulen For Milk Handlers. The same holds true of the ordinance adopted regulating the location of lumber yards and second-hand stores The law for the milk dealers was made very 'explicit and embodies all of the state law with all local applica tions and provided for a fine not less than $10 and not more than $300. According to the plan of ordinances adopted last night every man making his own living and not getting a salary is considered In business, whether sta tloned in a building or on the street, whether afoot or on horse. It is on this theory, that ordinances were passed licensing draymen, hackman, cabmen peddlers and solicitors and canvassers whether the three last named have conveyance or not. Must furnlnh Bond. The regulations of pawnbrokers and junk and second-hand dealers are strict and to the point. In addition to th $10 license fee the dealers in junk and second-handed goods must put up $250 bond with the city. The ordinances as soon as they are passed go into the hands of the printer who will, when the code is completed put therrt out in book fdfm. In addition to the passing of th ordinances, several other matters were disposed of. A letter was read from the president of the National Municipal league Inviting Hammond to send dele gates to the next session which will be held in Omaha, October.1 and 2. The communication was placed on file. Other Buntness Matters. A resolution was adopted advising the Introduction of a special appropri ation ordinance for $100 to be turned over to the Paid Fire Department Bene fit Association of Chicago. The money will go into the widow and orphans fund and Is a token of appreciation on the part of Hammond for services ren dered the city by the Chicago depart ment in times past. Tne niatter was brought up by J. Tubln, a South Chicago fireman who came before the council to sell tickets for the firemen's benefit that is to be given in Chicago shortly. The session closed with a discussion opened by Councilman Newman rela tive to the damming of Wolf river by the Glucose works. POLICE COURT NEWS Dead Cat Worries Lash. Fred Liash, jr.", the proprietor of the Nickel Plate restaurant, reported to the police that there was a dead cat in the alley in the rear of his hotel which had become very offensive to himself and his boarders. Negro Described. The negro who assaulted the Chicago Heights woman and stole $5 out of the cash register.
