:rdem a.......;.’u Cross Here; Monday evening‘s council urvduno-td"h-fllll:-::n! between the opening of the bids for the new fire station and incinerator which took place last week and the official .'l%cf contracts on these projects luled for June 17. ‘There will be no public meeting of the council on June 10. Thus, all parties interested in the location of the new incinerator will have plenty of time to oil up their verbal guns for use on June 17 when this moâ€" mentuous question will finally be cil did, however, vote at Monday‘s meeting to return the deposit checks ‘The council chamber was fairly well filled at this week‘s meeting. The city garage area had a delegaâ€" tion on hand with the expectation that the location of the incinerator would come up for discusion, Howâ€" ever, due to the absence of two of the commissioners, Mr. Gourley beâ€" cause of illness, and Mr. Bowes beâ€" cause of business, action on both the incinerator and the fire station was postponed until June 17. The counâ€" these projects with the exception of the low bidders. Coming under this exception in the case of the incineraâ€" tor was the Pittsburgh & DeMoines Steel Company, and in the case of the fire station, William Mavor & Co., on construction, Howard Moran on plumbing and heating, and T. H. Decker on heating. It was pointed eration by the council. As the time for the final selection of the new incinerator site draws wear the opposing forces and lines of arguments between advocates of the two locations to be considered are becoming more clearly defined. Other things being equal, there is no doubt that the majority of the counâ€" eil would like to see the new incinâ€" of all companies submitting bids on out that the retention of the deposit checks of these concerns did not neeâ€" essarily imply that the â€"contracts would be awarded to them. It simâ€" ply meant that in asmuch as these companies were the low bidders, their bids were eligible for considâ€" property. ‘The economy of the quesâ€" tion from the construction angle and the phase of the problem pertaining to future development of the city‘s property in this area draws the €ouncil strongly in this direction. However, unfortunately for all conâ€" cerned, other things are apparently not equal and the council is faced with as great or not greater pull in the other direction by the owners of property in the surrounding terriâ€" tory who feel that values would be lowered and life in general made unâ€" livable if the city garage site is seâ€" most unprejudiced observer will grant their arguments carry great weight. On the other hand, in reachâ€" ing its decision the council will unâ€" doubtedly take into consideration the wishes and welfare of the comâ€" munity as a whole. All in all, the debate scheduled for June 17 will be one worth attending.

Chicago area, to 'hfindw Park belongs, was ass! a quota of $1,000,000. To date the amount which has been given from Highâ€" land Park is $1,306. ‘The quota has now been lifted with the hope that everyone will do their bit and the amount will be oversubscribed. The need of funds is great as evidenced from the following letter: National Chairman Norman H. Davis has requested all chapters to make a special effort to oversubâ€" scribe original minimum quota by generous margins. _ ‘"When the American Red Cross asked a minimum war relief fund of $1,000,000," Mr. Davis telegraphed, "mo one could foresee that in two short weeks the greatest tragedy in all history would be unfolded. It is impossible to describe adequately the pitiful plight of millions of refuâ€" ges in France." Chatfieldâ€"Taylor of Chicago, chief European representative of the American Red Cross, states that Belgian refugees are rushing southâ€" ward toward Paris by the millions, swamping cities and villages with hordes of terrorâ€"stricken, hungry, exhausted, helpless and hopeless men, women and children. Tens of thousands of children are reported to be lost or killed as families flee are filled to the saturation point, while bewildered public officials adâ€" mit their inability to cope with the problem.
