Thursday, October 23, 1930 WwOMEN VOTERS HEAR TALKS BY OFFICIALS to the contours of the ravines, and yet lead to the center of town. As the town.of 800 grew, the need for parks became apparent, and the East Park District was formed which latâ€" er included the entire city under the same name, The Mooney farm was purchased at $600 an acre (this has of course increased: tremendously in value) and Mr. Gardener, then proâ€" fessional at Exmoor, laid out the Sunset Golf course, patterned after Scotch courses where every natural advantage is ultilized. Mr. Gardener very generously insisted upon making his share in this a public contribution. Aiter that other land was acquired and more parks laid out. ; mir. Millard stated that as long as improvements are paid for by the general bond money, no one pays much attention, but when the limit is reached and special assessments must be made, there are often many objecâ€" tions. A meeting is always called however, and the tax payers have the privilege of expressing their opinâ€" ions if they will take the trouble. ‘nese assessments may: be paid in 20 annual installments. In the case of the recent assessment spread on the library corner, about ten per cent of the taxpayers objected, but many cf these objections were later withâ€" drawn. Mr. Millard feels that while the special assessment. system may not be abstractly just, it is the best method available at present, since a general assessment in such a case is not legally possible. ‘That defect would have to be remedied through the state legislature. The Highland Park park board has kept the retirement of bonds at a fixâ€" ed rate a year. A 20â€"year bond is issued at five per cent a year. Largest Per Capital Area The parks of our city now have the largest per capita acreage of any of the parks of liinois,. There are 4 recreational centers, with 900 indiâ€" viduals taking part in organized work. There are all sorts of recreational facilities including 3 skating rinks, and the bathing beach. This last, however, has not the frontage it should have. Mr. Millard concluded by thanking: the women present for their interest in these matters. Discusses City Government Mayor Lewis outlined the type of. government under which Hiighland wark operates, comparing it with the aldermanic form of government used about 15 years ago. Now, there are four commissioners and a mayor who is really another commissioner, as he has no power not held by the other four. The administrative duties are distributed among five departments: public affairs, accounts and finances, public health and safety, public propâ€" erty and public improvements. Mayorâ€" Lewis spoke of certain situâ€" ations in the school and park districts caused by antiquated laws. s The present tax rate is about 35.96‘ for each $100 assessed valuation. Most of this is spent in the commun-\ ity. . About 3.09 of this goes to the schools ($2.00 to the grade school and the rest to the high school; this is not enough to carry on) about $1.05 (Continued from page 5) ] Each township has a superviser and assistants elected by population. The cities notify the township assessâ€" or their budgets, and he spreads the taxes. §3 to the city, 44 cents to the park board etc. Mayor Lewis listed the improveâ€" ments made in Highland Park during the last few years. These included the city hall, municipal yard, Ravinia iire station, and the water works and filtration plant. All these have been the best available. Everyone is famâ€" iliar with the beauty of the new city hall, but very few realize how modâ€" ern and adequate the filtration plant is for years to come. The citizens of Highland Park are urged to visit these fine additions to the city, for, as Mayor Lewis said, they are owned by all. He stressed particuarly the aced of keeping in contact with civic affairs, and of making desires known, nce the city is always amenable to public opinion. Mayor Lewis closed his talk with an expression of deep appreciation {or the opportunity of addressing the league.
