Insofar as I am concerned my story isn‘t much of a story unless it carrigs some sort of message. This story, I think, carries a message and a moral. Highland Park is growing. ~ It hgs progressed and spread out. It has ‘taken in Ravinia Park, home of grand opera; established Sunset park, ‘@ wooded municipal outing place. k "They have government ownership abroad. It takes 23 men in Germarlg to move a ton of freight one mile; 2 men in Italy; 31 in Switzerland. In United States it takes only 5 men. l’ is interesting to note also that rg» duced to terms of bread and buttefl railroad employes in these countrie’? show weekly earnings of about ong» third those in United Statee â€" Maad 200000 TCERIY CATMINES oI about onq& third those in United States. Measg, ured by our experience, by 'meflicienc" of service, by rate of wages paid, we have everything to lose and nothi:g to gath by public owhership. It woul be a most perilous undertaking bot to the welfz: of business and the in dependence of the people."â€"Presiden Coolidge. _ ~ PFor the last eight years every bit of expansion and development, and it has been a period of exceptional active ity, has paid for cash on the barrel head out of current revenue. Highâ€" land Park has no bonded indebtednesg. Sam Hastings, mayor, business man, executive, is interested in Highland Park. He cares about as much about practical, factional politics as an aitâ€" dale cares about algebra. k Write your own moral. & COOLIDGE CRITICIZES . > _ PUBLIC OWNERSHIP Highland Park has a "plaza deve}â€" opment" scheme in the making which, it is estimated, will mean an expend}â€" ture of from $3,000,000 to $5,000,000. Local improvements, now pending, call for an outlay of about $2,000,000. Proposed water department expansion wifl cost something like $500,000. _ Within the city limits of Highland Park are five golf coursesâ€"Exmoor, Bobâ€"oâ€"link, Old Elm, Northmoor and the Municipal links, which are frée to all citizens. . Â¥ They swap, on request, experiencés in purchasing and in letting contracts. If a contractor bumps any city on any sort of a job the other ten know all about it. All are pledged to coâ€"operâ€" ate with their fire departments fn time of fire‘ Zoning has been standâ€" ardized. ~Budgets are compared and successes of, one town become sugeâ€" cesses of the others. $ Lake Forest, Fort Sheridan and Highland Park have interâ€"connecting water mains. Glencoe‘s water syst&n will soon be connected. This means protection for all in case of individugl breakdown. The powers of the assqâ€" ciation of cities is elastic in time of crisis. Yeoman service was renderéd during the World war. The mayor or president of each of the municipalities is automatically} a director. The organization â€" meaps close and immediate coâ€"operation in all things affecting the business of these cities. It means an immedigte hookâ€"up in police work. It means that the cities are more or less of a unit in buying power. - est, Highwood, Highland Park, Glénâ€" coe, Winnetka, Kenilworth, Wilmette and Deerfield. Samuel M. Hastings was clected president. He still holds the job. i Just about ten years ago the Asgoâ€" ciation of North Shore Municipalities was formed. Eleven cities joined t}le organization.

He handles it, unruffled, just as if the kicker had never kicked before." . "And no matter how anyone kicks, when election day comes Highland Park steps right up and votes unaniâ€" mously to return Samuel M. Hastirfgs to the job of mayor," remarked Mr. Holmes. | "Every town hgs its chronic kigkâ€"| ers," spoke Mr. Warren. "We‘ve got ‘em. â€" Somebody‘s rooster gets ipto{ somebody else‘s.garden, a dog chages ; a cat, a culvert collapses, a dead hen‘ ruins a perfect landscape ; and fihe; mayor‘s quiet evening is broken :?to by the tingâ€"tingâ€"aâ€"ling of hig phone. | "And not one mornling in the twelve years has he‘ ever shown up out: of humor," said Mr. Holmes. "He has never been offâ€"balance, has naver spoken a gruff word, I‘ve never hegrd him swear!" . D "The work is quickly laid out. fle’s out of here by 8:30 to catch the train for his Chicago office," said Mr. &:r- ren. "He is a very busy man." | "For twelve years he has beeft at the city hall évery weekâ€"day morping éxcept when out of the city, at exarctâ€" ly 8 o‘clock," said Mr. Warren. '1, "I‘d say at just about 7:55 o‘clagk," corrected Mr. Holmes. "He calls|for the work of the day. We hand i& to him. He usually has some notes ‘due to phone calls at his home the gveâ€" ning before. He rings for a stgnoâ€" grapher. He dictates letters, ordgrs, directions." _ i( "If there is any miracle about it," went on Mr. Holmes, "The miracle is that we have been able to keep a|man like Mr. Hastings as mayor for t%:‘)}ve years. Any good citizen might igonâ€" sider his duty done at the end of one term or two at the most." & "And when we got on a cash basis nndi got continued city government of this kind the town began to w. Property ‘valuges rose swiftly. | The city became more prosperous. [ We have all profited and it‘s a ter place to live in," said Mr. Warrep.
