Harry Baals
Harry William Baals (November 16, 1886 – May 9, 1954)〔(Fort Wayne, Indiana Courthouse Will Not Be Named After Harry Baals ) WJBF–TV, February 11, 2011〕 was the Republican Mayor of Fort Wayne, Indiana, from 1934–1947 and from 1951 until his death in 1954.
==Biography==
When he first took office he consolidated city departments and lowered city tax rates. He launched construction of Fort Wayne’s massive underground sewage system and built the city sewage treatment plant, still being used today.
During World War II, Mayor Baals directed war materials drives, upgraded city equipment and services, and broke ground for Baer Field, now Fort Wayne International Airport. In the 1950s one of his major accomplishments was getting the old Nickel Plate Railroad tracks, running through downtown, to be elevated. This opened up the north side of Fort Wayne for development.〔(Fort Wayne History )〕
Harry W. Baals died in 1954 of a kidney infection, while serving his fourth term as mayor. He is buried at Lindenwood Cemetery in Fort Wayne, Indiana.
