pounce this proposition v. winded, but the project is I men to the community, and if ones midi-bod would be a ditficult mutter tohandlo, as well as a lasting dilgnoofl All of these facts have been brought to the attention of the voters of Ravinia. a three fourths majority of whose signatures it was noses-My to obtain. Among those opposing annexation are two or three roperty owners whose combined ho lugs do not amount toone per cent of those in favor of annexation. Thereseems to he an impression that a large proportion of the territory propmed to be annexed belongs to so-oalled real estate speculators. This is not true, only one or two pieces being owned by men in that Woes. These resident owners delend their action by the very lame excuse that they fear taxes will be higher, that a lot of speculators are tryingto rush impovements, that they do not want improvements. and that they fear the as will be taken from them. They hold a f‘mass meeting” at which people demand a lot of im- possible things. They want Highland Park to guarantee .gthe donation of ten acres on the blade for a public park and claim that Mr. Hugh T.. Birch is opposing the building of a bridge on Roger Williams we, so that they can get no" outlet to the lake. The truth is, (and the records show it) that Mr. Birch in 1892 made special effort to have this. bridge built, but was turned down by. the township commissioners, they even refusing toaccept as public property the road (Roger Williams are.) east of the Sheridan road to the lake. (Nearly. every street’in Ravyinia now belongs to the property owners!) why the residents of Ravinis cannot, see that annexatiOn, accompanied by the [completion of the Sheridanrosd, the building of seyeral new bridges, lighting of streets, possibility of get- ting city water. sidewalks, a repre- sentation in the city council and shutting out saloons, will benefit themselves and their neighbors a thousand times more'than any dam. age it might be personally to use or three opposing owners, it is hard to understand. They say the “ two- mile limit, ” whatever that 'is, will keep saloons out. There is no two- mile limit now; nor did it keepsaloons out of Highwood, right on our, hor- dera ? It is to be hoped that some day Ravinia will wake up and open its doors to progress and prosperity and not oppose every .move in that direction. - ~ Incidentally, the resident voien who are fighting annexation pay lean than $50 a year taxes in this hrri- THE SHERIDAN ROAD NEWSâ€"LETTER. some sputum lupin: V Fifty foot lot: ”you .359 each. modal!
