The police and fire departments operate on a civil-service basis. The heads of these departments having been in office for ten years and seven- teen years respectively, is conclusive evidence of the high efficiency of these protective agencies.
The police department is equipped with a two-way radio system through which the possibility of crime has been greatly reduced.
Both the police and fire depart- ments have gained national recogni- tion because of the low annual fire loss and because of the very high standard of law enforcement.
Taxation
The law of the State of Indiana es- tablishes a rate of $1.50 for each one hundred dollars assessed valuation as the maximum tax levy to cover all taxing units, except for emergency expenditures. This undoubtedly is very beneficial in keeping the tax rate on a low level.
The tax rate for Hammond for this year is $3.10 per $100 assessed valua- tion.
The general attitude of officials in making assessments on real and per- sonal property has been reasonable to industry. All assessments are sub- ject to review by the State Tax Board.
There is a state gross income tax of 1% on retail sales and individual in- comes, and 1/4 of 1% on all goods manufactured within the state and sold within the state. This does not apply to products in interstate com- merce.
There is no state sales tax in In- diana, and no occupational tax.
There is a tax ranging from $3 to $150 per year on retail stores.
There is also an intangible tax of 25c for each $100.
The assessed valuation of Hammond for 1935 is $86,928,170, and of Lake County, $358,103,830. The state, coun- ty, township, civil city and school city tax rates follow:
State $ .15 .39

Transportation
Transportation facilities in Ham- mond offer direct or inter-connected facilities with all parts of the U. S. The city is accessible by railroad, elec- tric railroad, state and federal high- ways, bus and truck lines, waterways and air lines.
RAILWAYS Hammond is serviced by ten railway lines; three belt lines.
The ten trunk railway lines are: Baltimore & Ohio; Chesapeake & Ohio; Chicago & Erie; Chicago, In- dianapolis & Louisville; Michigan Central; New York Central; New York, Chicago & St. Louis; Pennsyl- vania; Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Chi- cago & St. Louis; Wabash.
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 Baltimore & 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 serv- ice also is available on belt lines for less-than-carload-lot shipments. Trap cars go to the 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 operating every thirty minutes and requiring thirty-six minutes from the Hammond station to the Ran- dolph St. station in Chicago. Low

INTRODUCTION
round-trip passenger fares are offered on commutation tickets.
BUS SERVICE-An inter-city bus service including Hammond, Calumet City, Whiting, East Chicago and Gary, is maintained by the Chicago-Calumet District Transit Co., which makes connections with bus and railway lines in Chicago at 63d St. In addi- tion, there are electric railway serv- ices inter-connecting these Calumet Region cities.
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 Indiana Harbor is used by a num- ber 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 serv- ice 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 automo- bile from the Chicago Municipal Air- port and from the Ford Airport at Lam ng, Ill.
Public Utilities
ELECTRICITY Electric energy for Hammond is available in unlimited quantities with a rate structure de- signed to encourage use by industries. The rate schedule for electric energy, which is provided by the Northern In- diana 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 is also fur- nished by the Northern Indiana Pub- lic Service 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 Ham- mond district, and fuel oil is available at reasonable rates.
PETROLEUM COKE Because of the large oil-refining operations, an adequate 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 own 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.
Hammond is now building a million- dollar filtration plant, with ample storage capacity, which will insure a plentiful supply of pure water for in- dustrial and domestic use.
COMMUNICATIONS Hammond is served by the Illinois Bell Telephone Co., the Western Union Telegraph Co. and Postal Telegraph Co. It also has a radio station, WWAE, operating on 1,200 kilocycles.
Publishing and Printing
There are a number of printing es- tablishments in Hammond which have a national clientele. Much Chi- cago printing is handled in these plants. The plants are equipped with all modern facilities for color printing, offset work, bookbinding, and the printing and preparation of catalogs and mailing pieces.
There is one daily afternoon news- paper, The Hammond Times (Inde- pendent Republican), with a circula- tion of 21,500. It receives full Asso- ciated and United Press Services, and serves the entire trading area.
Labor
Because of Hammond's location in the Calumet Region, there is an un- limited supply of both skilled and un- skilled labor. There is a good market for female workers, because of the large number of male workers em- ployed in the various steel mills and heavy metal industries where female labor is not employed.
With the exception of the building and printing trades, practically all in- dustries operate under the American plan, and Hammond is well known as an open-shop city. A few industries, such as oil refining, clothing, etc., employ union workers.
There have been no industrial dis- turbances over a number of years, and the general attitude of the city as a whole does not encourage labor troubles.
Housing and Living Costs
HOUSING-According to a housing survey completed Jan. 21, 1935, there are 13,263 residential units in Ham- mond, of which 10,941 are single- family dwellings. Of this number, 7,- 185 are occupied by the owners, indi- cating a very high percentage of home-ownership.
Hammond is the residential city for a number of the surrounding indus-
10
INTRODUCTION
trial cities that are unable to provide suitable housing of the better type and which have no expansion possi- bilities.
At the present time there is a short- age of homes, as is true in a majority of cities throughout the country, due to no building operations for the past three or more years.
Good homes can be rented, when available, at $25 per month and up, this depending entirely upon location and type of home desired.
LIVING COSTS Because of Ham- mond being in the Chicago area, pre- vailing living costs are about the same as in that city. Rentals, taxes and utility costs are cheaper.
Hammond is located adjacent to a superior garden and trucking area, immediately contiguous to the Michi- gan-Indiana fruit belt, and also is close to the large meat-packing opera- tions of the country, making of these things available, with wide choice, and at reasonable prices.
Commercial Organizations
There are four commercial organi- zations giving direct service to the in- dustrial and commercial interests of the city.
The Hammond Chamber of Com- merce, the largest, composed of the representative professional and busi- ness concerns, is constantly promot- ing the general welfare of the city from a business standpoint and has a constructive program of activities.
The Hammond Safety Council, a di- vision of the Chamber of Commerce, has been successful in maintaining low insurance rates through its work in fire prevention, public safety, etc. This division has received several awards in the Inter-Chamber Fire Waste Contests conducted by the U. S. Chamber of Commerce.
The Chamber of Commerce, with other organizations, is constantly ac- tive in a study of proposed budgets of the taxing units and has been a strong influence in maintaining a low tax rate. It has also given much atten- tion to proposed legislation and has been successful in protecting the in- terests of the manufacturers in many legislative matters of a vital nature. The program of the Chamber of Com- merce is a general one and always in the interest of business as a whole.
The Manufacturers' Association is composed only of manufacturers. This organization deals entirely with mat- ters affecting the interests of its mem- bership.
The Hammond Merchants' Associa- tion, now a division of the Chamber of Commerce, deals in subjects af- fecting the retail trade only. It de- votes most of its efforts toward trade promotion, trade practices, etc.
The Hammond Credit Exchange is composed of a large number of re- tailers. This organization is solely for the purpose of giving confidential credit information.
Other organizations active in mat- ters in their particular fields of busi- ness activity are the Hammond Real Estate Board, the Lake County Under- writers' Association, the Calumet Re- gion Auto Parts Association, etc.
Civic Organizations, Etc.
Most of the civic, and practically all of the fraternal organizations, are 'represented in Hammond.
Rotary and Kiwanis represent the civic luncheon clubs. Also there are the active Women's Club, American Legion Auxiliary, Parent-Teachers' Association and Business and Profes- sional Woman's Club.
All character-building and welfare work clears through the United Wel- fare Association, which conducts an annual drive for a fixed sum to pro- vide for these activities each year, thus relieving business organizations of solicitations more than once a year for these purposes.
Organizations which derive their support from this Association are:
American Red Cross;
Bethany Children's Home;
Boy Scouts;
Brooks House;
Calumet Goodwill Industries;
Carmelite Home for Boys;
Catholic Associated Charities;
General Relief Agency;
Girl Scouts;
Hammond Fresh Air Camp;
St. Vincent Home for Aged; Salvation Army;
Week-Day Religious Education;
Young Women's Christian Associa- tion.
Educational, Religious and Cultural Features
SCHOOLS-The Hammond school system consists of sixteen grade schools, three high schools, one Catho- lic high school and ten parochial schools, all of which are staffed with highly competent teachers and in- structors.
The Technical Vocational School is an important source of potential em- ploye-leadership and offers a training course so designed to fit young men to take their place in the industrial community.
There are two highly-rated private- ly-owned commercial schools, assur- ing an adequate supply of stenogra- phic and secretarial help.
For those desiring higher education, extension courses are provided from the University of Indiana, and engin- eering courses are given from Purdue University, oftentimes specializing in
11
INTRODUCTION
such subjects as the heat-treatment of metals, electric welding, gas welding, and kindred subjects of particular in- terest to manufacturers.
Many Hammond residents avail themselves of the opportunity to take night courses at the University of Chi- cago and Northwestern University.
CHURCHES-All denominations are represented in the religious life of Hammond-39 Protestant, 8 Catholic, 2 Jewish and 8 miscellaneous congre- gations.
LIBRARY-The Hammond Public Library has six branches, and will, with the cooperation of the industries, establish a branch within the industry if the demand for library service jus- tifies it. There are 100,000 volumes in the Hammond Library system.
Recreation
PARKS - Hammond is equipped with all types of wholesome recrea- tion. There are nine parks, with an acreage of 141.28, and a valuation of more than a million dollars. These parks are equipped with tennis courts and playgrounds with attractive land- scaping.
GOLF-There are four golf courses within a few miles of town-Woodmar Country Club, Wicker Park, Lansing Airport Course, and Burnham Woods.
SWIMMING-There is swimming at Hammond Beach on Lake Michi- gan. Numerous beaches are located in the Dunes territory and elsewhere within short distances of Hammond.
WICKER PARK-Within a few miles of Hammond is the famous Wicker Memorial Park, which is one of the few township-owned public parks in the country. It has 235 acres. This park is equipped with an 18-hole public golf course, picnic fa- cilities and other equipment which make it a popular place for company and organization outings.
SCOUTING-For boys and girls of scouting age, there are active scouting troops in Hammond. Both organiza- tions maintain camps for Hammond boys and girls.
FOREST PRESERVES Immediate- ly across the state line in Cook Coun- ty, providing bridle paths, trails and outing facilities, is one of the Illinois forest preserves.
Public Health
Hammond maintains an efficient health department under the direc- tion of a board of health of three members and in charge of a qualified physician, safeguarding the city against the spread of infectious and communicable diseases. The appro- priation of this department provides for free analysis of milk and water in a well-equipped laboratory, and also for a registered nurse.
Hospitals
There is one hospital, St. Margaret's, operated by the Sisters of St. Francis, with a capacity of 260 beds. The hos- pital is fully equipped for surgery and for the proper care of patients.
