k the e to day rch. lete 'ROM HHHHHI :ed 0} ’ck ca“ Telephone 65 .V [d anton 1T1 ICE For these reasons I did not believe. and I do not now believe, that the time is ripe or opporture for us to negoti- ate with the Chicago Northwestern Railway for a piece of their property to be used for a depot of the Chicago Milwaukee Electric. When the Sliltlb of the (‘hicago Milwaukee Electric Railway is more clearly de- termined. and when they obtain from the city a new franchise cleaning up 501110 of the present intolerable conâ€" ditions. I ahouid say that then would ire the time to do all we can to assist “Zr?! and ourselves by either re-locatâ€" its their tucks so as to pl'0‘-'lll0 a prayer more for a depot or depots at vermin important street intersections: Hr if (hi: is not practicable try to get the Xorthwestern to assist. The Milwaukee Electric situation is pain-ups the most important matter now confronting the people of High- land Park, and it should be settledâ€" the sooner the better. The conditions prevailing, with re- spect to the relations between the city of Highland Park amid” Chicago Milwaukee Electric Railroad, should not be tolerated indefinitely. and should be cleaned up as soon as possi- lie. Mr. W. 0. Johnson. receiver for this Road, is not responsible for most of the conditions. prevailingâ€"they having originated before the Receivâ€" ership, but during his term of office he has continued to exclude the public from parts of St. Johns Avenue. as aforesaid. and has caused the tracks of the Road to be raised still higher above the grade of our streets in some places. I‘I Highland Park s'iutTi of Laurel Avenue I understand the strip now 0câ€" cupied by their tracks was formerly paveJ. and I also understand that tl.c Milwaukee Electric people tore up the paving so as to exclude the public frbm their tracks: and I have been un- able to discover where they got their right so to do. This statement is not quite correct, and it does not represent exactly what I said. My statement was that I be- lieved the time to attempt to obtain from the Northwestern, ground on which the Electric Railroad might build a depot. wns inopportune. The status of the Milwaukee Electric, through Highland Park and other north shore towns, is not yet settled. Their franchisa through Highland Park expires in 1917 and We have a great many matters to settle with them before a new franchise can be granted. They are illegally occupyingcertain ”thus at St. Johns Avenue all the way from Ravinia Park north. to the exclusion of the public. In many places they have raised their tracks above the grade of our streets. this being contrary to law. and not in accordance with their rights under the eXlStJlK franchises. lThey have two franchises through Highland Park, one through Ravinia and one through Highland Park before Pavinia was annexed). Down at aninia they have raised their tracks so chh allow the grade of St. Johns Axenue that the bal- ance of St. Johns Avenue is nothing but a “mud hole," and thn pulvli. is absolutely and entirely excluded from the Use of more than half of the street in some places. and iii other place< is totally excluded from the use of the street. ’Senaue on June 15th and was sent to! conference on the 18th of last month.
