Government Leaders
On the 100th anniversary of Lake county, the men pictured on this page head the various governments and courts of the community.
To them is entrusted the official duty of legislation, administration, and the rendering of justice. They supervise the governments and courts of more than a quarter of a million people.
What Lake county will be years, 20 years, and, perhaps, 30 years hence, depends in a large measure on these gentlemen and their official acts. For that reason, they are accorded a special page in this centennial edition a page that marks a milestone in the official history of the region.
The Hammond Times, in behalf of the readers of this edition, urges these officials to look forward to the future, and to build a solid foundation ... on which to build the superstructure of Lake county's next 100 years.

Oltz Given Fireworks Injunction 03 Jul 1937, Sat The Times (Munster, Indiana) Newspapers.com
OLTZ GIVEN FIREWORKS INJUNCTON
Despite the opposition of the Hammond city administration against the sale of fireworks in the condemned Paxton building near the southwest corner of Hohman avenue and Russell street, Lyman Oltz obtained a restraining order yesterday from Superior Judge Bertram C. Jenkines, of Gary, enjoining the city from interfering with his sale of pyrotechnics in the structure until July 6.
City Comptroller Bertram Smith, who issues fireworks permits, explained today that he has refused to license the Oltz enterprise in the condemned Paxton building because of the danger involved.
“Notwithstanding the express wishes of the city administration to protect the buying public from possible injury in the old structure,” Smith said, “Mr. Oltz obtained his restraining order from Judge Jenkines without our knowledge and now is selling fireworks in the condemned building.
“We can do nothing about the situation until next Tuesday when the restraining order is returnable in Judge Jenkine's court. Our only hope now is that the building will not collapse or otherwise endanger the lives of the people entering it.”
Oltz restraining order prohibits Fire Chief William Nill and Police Chief Thomas Martinson from interfering with his operations in the building. He applied for the injunction after both Comptroller Smith and Mayor Frank R. Martin had refused to allow the condemned structure to be used as a merchandise establishment.
