Location, Population, Etc.
LOCATION-Hammond is located in Lake County, the second largest county in Indiana, in the northwest corner of the state. It is twenty miles southeast from the Loop district of Chicago; 954 miles from New York; 304 miles from St. Louis; 442 miles from Minneapolis; 941 miles from New Orleans, and 2,281 miles from San Francisco.
BOUNDARIES - Hammond is bounded on the north by Lake Michi- gan, Whiting and East Chicago; on the east, by Whiting, Gary and East Chicago; on the south, by Little Calu- met River, and on the west by Chi- cago, Calumet City, Burnham and Cook County, Ill.
POPULATION-The population of Hammond was 64,560, according to the 1930 U. S. Census. The estimated population for 1939 is 75,443, based on a school enrollment of 17,147, using the U. S. Government ratio of 4.4.
The population of the Hammond trade area is approximately 165,000. Hammond directly adjoins Chicago, and for many purposes the trade area of Hammond is the trade area of Chi- cago, particularly for industrial pur- poses, which from that standpoint would give Hammond an additional industrial trade population of more than 3,500,000.
Of the Hammond population, ac- cording to the 1930 Census, 83.9% were native white, 15.1% foreign- born, and 1% Negro. Of the foreign-
12
INTRODUCTION
born, more than 50% were German, Polish and Czechoslovakian nationali- ties.
The growth of Hammond is re- flected in the following population figures:

12,376

(estimated)
The unusual favorable location of Hammond at the tip of Lake Michi- gan, in the center of population, at the waterway terminus of all di- rections, and with unequaled railway distribution, makes its future growth inevitable. No industrial location in the U. S. can compare with it.
Government
Hammond is governed by a city council form of government. The in- cumbent administration is headed by Mayor Frank R. Martin, a Democrat. The administration is regarded as conservative in its aims and has maintained an equitable balance be- tween the interests of all persons af- fected by the government.
The police and fire departments operate on a civil-service basis. The heads of these departments having been in office for years, 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 $2 for each $100 assessed valuation as the maximum tax levy to cover all taxing units, ex- cept for emergency expenditures. This undoubtedly is very beneficial in keep- ing the tax rate on a low level.
The tax rate for Hammond for this year is $3.46 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 manufactured goods.
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 Ham- mond for 1938 was $89,832,140, and of Lake County, $380,449,850. The state, county, township, civil city and school city tax rates follow:
State .15
County .515

Township Road Bonds .06
Library .07
School City 1.20

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, electric railroad, state and federal highways, bus and truck lines, water- ways 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 Term- inal, 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 east- ern, western and southern lines, mak- ing but one handling from the indus- tries 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 36 minutes from the Hammond station to the Randolph St. station in Chicago. Low round- trip passenger fares are offered on commutation tickets.
BUS SERVICE An inter-city bus service including Hammond, Calumet
13
INTRODUCTION
City, Whiting, East Chicago and Gary, is maintained by the Chicago-Calu- met 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 numer- ous 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 number of large industries as a port for shipping to foreign countries, and also for receiving shipments from for- eign 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 Lansing, 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 indus- trial 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 water plant, the supply com- ing from Lake Michigan, and the rate being a graduated scale based on the amount used. Hammond has the low- est water rate of any city in this sec- tion of Indiana.
Hammond has recently completed a $1,000,000 filtration plant, with am- ple storage capacity, which guaran- tees a plentiful supply of the purest water for industrial 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 Radio Station WWAE, operating on 1,200 kilocycles, and WHIP, operating on 1,480 kilocycles.
Publishing and Printing
There are a number of printing es- tablishments in Hammond that have a national clientele. Much Chicago printing is handled in these plants. The plants are equipped with all mod- ern facilities for color printing, off- set work, bookbinding, and the print- ing 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 23,009 (ABC report). It re- ceives 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 supply of both skilled and unskilled labor. There is a good market for fe- male workers, because of the large number of male workers employed in the steel mills and heavy metal in- dustries where female labor is not em- ployed.
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., em- ploy 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
Hammond is the residential city for a number of the surrounding indus- 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 major- ity of cities throughout the country.
14
INTRODUCTION
Good homes can be rented, when available, at $25 per month and up, this depending entirely upon location and type of home desired.
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.
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 oper- ations of the country, making 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 matters affecting the interests of its membership.
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, Kiwanis, Lions and Opti- mists represent the civic luncheon clubs. Also there are the active Women's Club, American Legion Aux- iliary, Parent-Teachers' Association and Business and Professional Wom- en'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 Salvation Army 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 Cath- olic 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- ployee-leadership and offers a train- ing course 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 educa- tion, extension courses are provided from the University of Indiana, and engineering courses are given from Purdue University, oftentimes special- izing in such subjects as the heat- treatment of metals, electric welding, gas welding, and kindred subjects of particular interest to manufacturers.
Many Hammond residents avail themselves of the opportunity to take
15
INTRODUCTION
night courses at the University of Chicago 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 indus- tries, establish a branch within an industry if the demand for library service justifies it. There are 100,000 volumes in the Hammond Library sys- tem.
Recreation
PARKS Hammond is equipped with all types of wholesome recrea- tion. There are fourteen parks, with an acreage of 250, and a valuation of $1,750,000. These parks are equip- ped with tennis courts and play- grounds with attractive landscaping.
GOLF-There are five golf courses within a few minutes of town-Wood- mar Country Club, Wicker Park, Lan- sing Airport Course, Lake Hills, and Burnham Woods.
SWIMMING-There is swimming at modern pools in a number of the city parks. 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, modern swimming pool, and other equipment which make it a pop- ular place for company and organiza- tion outings.
SCOUTING For boys and girls of scouting age, there are active scout- ing troops in Hammond. Both organ- izations maintain camps for Ham- mond 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. Margar- et's, operated by the Sisters of St. Francis, with a capacity of 260 beds. The hospital is fully equipped for surgery and for the proper care of pa- tients.

General Review
This locality was first called West Hammond, later incorporated as the Village of West Hammond, still later incorporated as the City of West Hammond, and in 1925 the name was changed to Calumet City. It is in Cook County, 221/2 miles from the center of Chicago. It adjoins Chi- cago on the north, and Hammond on the east. Residents of Calumet City are 20 minutes' ride from 130 differ- ent industries of the Calumet Dis- trict. The city is free of industrial gases and therefore very desirable for residential purposes.
Joining Hammond and Chicago, Calumet City is served with the best of facilities. Theatres, banks, hos- pitals and churches of Hammond are closer to the whole population of Cal- umet City than to the people of Ham- mond. The north and west sides of the city have many desirable sites for
industrial expansion and develop- ment. City improvements are avail- able in enough vacant property to double the population with new homes without additional facilities. For years Calumet City has drawn home-owners due to low taxes, fine water, good streets and tolerant mun- icipal supervision of business.
Being a "City of Homes," Calumet City has stood out as a desirable lo- cation for residential purposes. Many business men who have their offices and industries across the line in Ham- mond and Chicago, reside in Calumet City. Most of the population resides within walking distance of the busi- ness center of Hammond. The city's liberal policies make it a desirable lo- cation for factories as well as homes. Property has a ready market in Calu- met City.
The Calumet City Association of Commerce last year secured direct transportation to the Chicago Loop. It is now trying to get more play- grounds for the city, and seeking general improvements in every way possible.
