Ind .. last Saturday. The board has instituted condemnation proceedings for the taking of the two tracts for village purposes-the south tract for a village hall site, and the north tract for a fire station site. These tracts are centrally located and are considered as the most suitable of any available l~nd in the Village for the purposes indicated. In the opinion oi the board, this property should be taken by the Village while it is available, whether the Village hall and other improvements are built now or at some later date. Policy to Buy Now The extending of Coventry road will so affect the value of these tracts. it is contended, that they should be acquired contemporaneously with the street extension and before expensive buildings have been erected by private owners, which would increase the cost beyond the reach of the Village. The cost of these properties will be determined by the court in the condemnation proceedings, and in order to provide a_ mple funds for their purchase the Board has passed ordinances for issuing 4% bonds in the amounts of $70,000 for the south tract and $40,000 for the north tract, and haSJ · called the special election for June -l, in order to submit these ordinances to a vote of the citizens. These bonds can be sold at par or better and will not produce a very noticeable effect upon village taxes. it is said. Only such of the bonds would be issued as found to be necessary. and in no eyent Those hose you buy today- so sheer and lustrous- what will more than is provided in the orthey be like tomorrow?
