The law- makers will be asked for $1,000.000; for thig work, with the stipulation that an equal amount be subscribed by the public. The dunes are east of Chicago and south of Gary, the city which sprang up like a mushroom on the grounds of the steel industry and carved away many of the dunes. They are 200 miles from the center of population and it is the plan to furnish a place of reereatton, particularly for the millions of people from Chicago and Great Lakes regions.

Richard Lieber, di- rector of the state conservation de- partment, is not champion of the movement and plans to place the matter before the general assembly. “The dunes are the one big and last opportunity to furnish a great recreational outdoors for the millions of America’s secqpd largest city and of the northern Indiana industrial regions,”” Lieber said.

Guy Dil- ley, St. Paul, to establish a state constabulary. He has completed a bill providing for a force of approximately 100 in- cluding 756 constables. ten lieuten- ants, two and captains and a direct- ing officer force.

The body would co- operate with peace ofticers thruout the state. , Representative Dilley believes the ever increasing use of automobiles makes the establishment of a state constubulary a necessity. It would aid in materially reducing crime, he believes. Labor is expected to make a stren- uous fight on the measure. Rep. Dilley anticipating such action, drew a clause in his bill saying “it is ex- pressly understood that the depart- ment shall in no way be used for patrol or guard duty at any labor dis- turbance, strike or walkout, provided, however, that the department shall inot be prevented from having its of- |ficers or members present for the purpose of preventing or detecting ferimes” The bill would establish a depart- ment of Public Safety under a com- missioner to be appointed for a three year term by the governor.
