for ust in The James Anderson Co., Inc., engineers, of Lake Forest, last week won a victory in the appellate court when the higher court in Ottawa reâ€" â€"wersed â€" and remanded â€" the â€" suit brought â€" by the â€"Anderson â€" firm against the City of Highland Park, in which Cireuit Judge Ralph J. Dady, in Waukegan, decided in faâ€" vor of the city. vOLUME Beginning in September, 1926, the Anderson company made surâ€" veys and prepared plans and speciâ€" fications for a sanitary sewerage improvement to serve the northwest part of the City of Highland Park. This work was done under the diâ€" reetion of the Board of Local Imâ€" provements of the City of Highland Park. ' The area to be improved included Greenwood Gardens, First Addition to Greenwood Gardens, North Shore Aéres Subdivision, Highmoor, and other properties in the vicinity, both subdivided and unsubdivided. The principal sewer was to have been laid in Prairie Avenue (Half Day Read) from the Highwood city limâ€" its west to Ridge Road, according to lans prepared in this connection. The plans also éontemplated the canstruction of a‘ sewage pumping plant. The total cost of the work| was estimated at $211,056.10, which amount was provided for in the recâ€"‘ ommendation of the Board of Local Improvements to the Highland Park city council on June 18, 1928. Actâ€" img on this recommendation, the council passed an ordinance providâ€" ing for the making of the improveâ€" ment and the spreading of a special agsessment to meet the cost thereof. Special assessment proceedings were begun in the County Court. Legal objections were made by several property owners. On March 4; 1929, the County Court dismissed the proceedings because of these obâ€" jeetions. Shortly after, the Anderâ€" son firm rendered a statement to the city of Highland Park for its services. The statement was not paid, although several other stateâ€" ments for services in connection with the proposed project were paid. Efforts were made repeatesly t obtain payment of the account. » The corporation counsel of Highâ€" l@nd Park advised against payment Of the Anderson account on the grounds that the city records did mot properly provide for the emâ€" ployment of the ongii\fering firm and that the commissioners who auâ€" thorized payment of that account might be held personally lifable to the city for any ‘payment made to the Anderson company. The engineers brought suit in the Lake County Circuit Court in Sepâ€" tember, 1932. About one year later the case came to trial before Judge Dadv. Testimony was introduced by the Anderson firm to prove that it renâ€"| dered the City of Highland Park| Â¥ervices valued at $5000 to $8000.| The city offered no witnesses to deny that such servees were rendered; it,| instead, relied on a strictly techniâ€"| cal defense. | Judge Dady denmied the Anderson claim in a decision handed down early in October, 1933. The Lake Forest firm immediately appealed the decision to the appellate court. m:l'h'e“r;cent decision by that court concludes with a statement to th; effect that public bodies are boun by the same rules of honesty as inâ€" dividuals. â€" Three courses are now open to the City of Highland Park. It may ask for a reâ€"hearing in the appellate court, it may appeal to the. state supreme court, or it may reâ€"try the case in the Lake County Circuit Court. On Sunday evening, August 19th, the "Chicago Intercity Gospel Singâ€" ers"‘of Chicago under the direction of John L. Baker a converted actor, will have charge of the service at the First United Evangelical Church. The pastor Rev. F. Bunt}- fellner will be on his vacation. 4 SUIT AGAINST CITY The Hinhlanh Park Press, \Eileen Sullivan Wins |\ _ _ Second Prize With a Model Spanish Home Th recent strike of the l50-odd1 caddies at the Exmoor Country Club‘ of Highland Park, "made" the front| pages of the daily newspapers on} several occasions during the past| week, and was followed with interâ€"| est by golfers and caddies along the North Shore. â€" ’ The Ekmoor caddies struck for higher pay Thursday of last week, and for four days Exmoor golfers were forced to carry their own clubs or, as some were reported as doing, smuggle "strike breakers" through the picket lines of the rebelling cadâ€" dies, _ Victorious in their demands for| more pay and the abolition of the' merit system, 100 of the caddies| returned to work Monday, and othâ€"| ers were expected to sign an agreeâ€"| ment and return to work this week.| Under terms of the agreement, thei caddies will receive $1 for caddying| 18 holes, and 60 cents for 9 holes. Previously the boys wetre paid a| base rate of 25 cents an hour with fixed bonuses and deductions for| varying grades of service. "Golf without benefit of caddies began to produce heroes‘ yesterday (Sunday) as members of Exmoor: Country Club, compelled to stagger around the course bearing their own weapons because bag carriers were on strike, proved that they are made of stern stuff," stated a Hearst Chiâ€" cago paper on Monday. "The Oldest Member, for instance, came into the nineteenth hole and recited that, although he had not shot under 90 in the last ten years, ‘he was able to report a score of 80 carrying his own clubs A skeptic‘s answer to this was: "‘Yeah; the caddy wasn‘t there to watch you." In typical Hearstian style, the «ame newspaper last Friday told of real unblushing urchins who said they were ‘distant cousins of Sally Rand led the 160 caddies‘of Highâ€" land Park‘s exclusive Exmoor Club out on strike yesterday by splashâ€" ing about in a water hole, exclusive of clothes, just as 200 members and their guests were starting a mixed foursome tournament,. "It caused a number of Oh‘s and Ah‘s and dubbed shots, and several of the more modest golferettes just gave up and went back to the clubâ€" house to consider the caddies‘ deâ€" mands for higher pay. "But those who were made of sturdier stuff played right on, quite as if they didn‘t see the strikers. That worked for the 100 young nudists whose leaders had sent them to the pool, on the way to the secâ€" ond hole. It didn‘t though, for the other sixty, who had been stationed at strategic points along the course to hiss as the golfers tried a diffiâ€" cult shot Garden Party Will Be Given Here On Friday R very year the society furnishes | 1 | P 4Bil sc)filarihips in the mountain schools | Tee Club HOldS‘ i 1J ‘ and very fitly the program for this | Meeting Tuesfluy benefit is to be given by a delight~1 evmmenimant [ E+ ful group of young people.

"The Lost Proposed Tax Cut In _ |PRESIDENT THROUGH **"Rstate 1s Opposed _ HERE ON THURSDAY The first major opposition to the proposed 10 or 15 per cent reducâ€" tion .in the assessed valuation of Lake County real estate to effect a similar cut in all taxes on real propâ€" erty was brought before the Lake County Board of Review at the courthouse in Waukegan last Friâ€" day. School boards of Waukegan and Highland Park presented a joint protest over the contemplated tax cut, arguing that to reduce the inâ€" come of the schools at this time would further cripple the retrenched edugational program.
