In addition, the city is within the Chicago switching district and enjoys low freight rates, the same as those in Chicago. The three belt lines are the Bal- timore & Ohio Chicago Terminal, the Elgin, Joliet & Eastern, and the Indiana Harbor Belt. These make available a fast, direct service to all roads out of Chicago. Trap-car service also is available on belt lines for less-than-carload- lot shipments. Trap cars go tothe Indiana Harbor Belt switching yards, where shipments are consigned to the various lines, thus offering a faster and more efficient service.


The Indiana Harbor Belt Railroad's largest terminal, Gibson Yard, is lo- cated in Hammond. Cars from the industries of Hammond and Calumet City are made up in trains and run direct from Gibson Yard to all eastern, western and southern lines, making but one handling from the industries to any one trunk line over which the shipment may move.


ELECTRIC LINE-The Chicago, South Shore & South Bend Railroad provides a fast passenger and freight electric service to Chicago, passenger service op- erating every thirty minutes and requiring 36 minutes from the Hammond station to the Randolph St. station in Chicago. Low roundtrip passenger fares are of- fered on commutation tickets.


BUS SERVICE-An inter-city bus service including Hammond, Calumet City, Whiting, East Chicago, Gary and Chicagois maintained by the Chicago-Calumet District Transit Co. In addition, there are electric railway services inter- connecting these Calumet Region cities.


IX


INTRODUCTION


TRUCK SERVICE-Fast, daily truck service is operated between Hammond and Chicago and numerous other points by a number of trucking companies. Hammond is the focal point for a large number of highly improved highways radiating in every direction.


WATERWAYS-Hammond is only a few miles from Indiana Harbor on Lake Michigan, which provides easy accessibility for water transportation. The In- diana Harbor is used by a number of large industries as a port for shipping to foreign countries, and also for receiving shipments from foreign ports.


The Great Lakes Dock Terminal maintains a shipping point at Indiana Harbor. Direct regular railway service is available to St. Louis and Cairo, Ill., for barge transportation on the Mississippi to the Gulf, and from there to other ports of the world.


AIRPORTS-Hammond is less than three-quarters of an hour by automobile from the Chicago Municipal Airport, and from the Ford Airport at Lansing, Ill.


Public Utilities


ELECTRICITY -- Electric energy for Hammond is available in unlimited quan- tities with a rate structure designed to encourage use by industries. The rate schedule for electric energy, which is provided by the Northern Indiana Public Service Co., is as low as can be found in any large industrial city. Hammond is the location of one of the largest steam-generating plants in the world, and the company is equipped to take care of any industrial demand.


GAS -- A high-grade gas also is furnished by the Northern Indiana Public Serv- ice Co. at a very low rate for industrial users.


COAL -- with coal mines in Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, Pennsylvania and Virginia, Hammond is assured of a plentiful supply of cheap coal.


OIL -- The largest oil refineries in the world are located within the Hammond district, and fuel oil is available at reasonable rates.


PETROLEUM COKE -- Because of the large oil-refining operations, an ade - quate supply of petroleum coke is also available, a special fuel valuable for certain operations and not to be had in many industrial areas.


WATER -- The City of Hammond owns its water plant, the supply coming from Lake Michigan, and the rate being a graduated scale based on the amount used. Hammond has the lowest water rate of any city in this section of Indiana.


A $3, 000, 000 filtration plant, with amply storage capacity, guarantees a plentiful supply of the purest water for industrial and domestic use.


COMMUNICATIONS-Hammond is served by the Illinois Bell Telephone Co. and the Western Union Telegraph Co. It also has Radio Station W JOB, operating on 1, 230 kilocycles.


Publishing and Printing


There are a number of printing establishments in Hammond that have a nati- onal clientele. Much Chicago printing is handled in these plants. The plants are equipped with all modern facilities for color printing, offset work, book- binding, and the printing and preparation of catalogs and mailing pieces.


There is one daily afternoon newspaper, The Hammond Times (Independent Republican). It receives full Associated and United Press services, and serves the entire trading area.


Labor


Because of Hammond's location in the Calumet Region, there is a large sup - ply of both skilled and unskilled labor. There is a good market for female work - ers, because of the large number of male workers employed in the steel mills and heavy metal industries where female labor is not employed.


There have been no major industrial disturbances over a.number of years, and the general attitude of the city as a whole does not encourage labor troubles.


Housing and Living Costs


Hammond is the residential city for a number of the surrounding industrial cities that are unable to provide suitable housing of the better type and which have no expansion possibilities.


At the present time there is a shortage of homes, as is true in a majority of cities throughout the country.


Because of Hammond being in the Chicago area, prevailing living costs are about the same as in that city. Rentals, taxes and utility costs are cheaper.
