Description of the flag

Sec 1-15 of the City Code is as follows:

A city flag is adopted and shall be of the following design and dimensions. Its dimensions shall be five feet fly by three feet hoist and the field of the same shall be white with a flaming torch in gold or buff in the middle. The flame shall be encircled in red and there shall be a white star outlined in blue in the handle of the torch. The torch shall be placed over a shield, the top of which shall be blue, on which there shall be three white stars on each side of the torch. There shall be two red stripes on a field of white in the lower part of the shield on each side of the torch; the shield shall be outlined in blue. Surrounding the shield and torch shall be two narrow circles in gold or buff separated by a small white stripe, and approximately three inches beyond this inner circle shall be two other narrow circles in gold or buff separated by a small white stripe. In the white field between these sets of circles shall be 19 green maple leaves situated so as to fill the entire space between the two sets of circles. At the top of the circle in blue there shall be the words "The City of LaPorte." At the bottom in blue shall be the words: "The Door to the Future."

Ordinance 1514 adopted this city flag as official in 1976, the Bicentennial year.

The mis-spelling of the word FUTURE (as FUTUE) is found on the original image, and apparently approved by the city.

I’ve seen two flags and double-checked to make sure the text reads “FUTURE”.
