This gentleman wanted the portion of the cost of the project to be paid out of the gas tax fund to be definitely stated in so many dollars and cents on the notice. Corporation Counsel McKenna contended that it was impossible to make this separation and that the only way the notice could have been legally drawn up was in the exact way it appeared. Corporation Still another phase of the project| and we was presented by a gentleman who) priority stated that he and his neighbors would | project Counsel McKenna was later proved to be_right on this question. Following Mr. McKenna‘s remarks Mayor Ronan then through the meetâ€" ing open to a general discussion on the project and one could imagine him inâ€" visibily holding his ears to protect himself ‘from the barrage of comâ€" plaints, questions, opinions and general conversation that was forthcoming. One irate gentleman stated that in his opinion he had been robbed blind in the North Green Ray Road improveâ€" ment and that the present project had all the earmarks of a repeat performâ€" ance. What this sturdy objector lacked in command of the English language he made up in force, augmenting his remarks by, frequent poundings of the council‘s desk. eememeeseee® The magnet 1csâ€" ponsible for the cenâ€" tering of an unusual number of the populace at the council meeting was, oim,thcpfilichux'-(o-}h Green Bay Road improvement project duely called as prescribed by law. In attendence was a veritable army of residents of the famed thoroughfare, aitorneys, friends, wellâ€"wishers, heckâ€" lers and those who came along just to see the show. When the council chamber was filled to the bursting‘ point, Mayor Ronan recessed the council meeting and reâ€" convened the group in its capacity of Board of Local Improvements. This i ithin a tg was j by Corporation Counsel McKenna who vainly tried to ward off unnecessary questions and remarks by stating that the hearing was a formglity required by law to draw up and pass a resoluâ€" tion on the project and that all comâ€" plaints would have their "day in court" at a later date.

He is the capâ€" tain elect of the Yale football team. of the opinion that the Green Bay Koad improvement as it is now conâ€" stituted is favored by a vast majority of the citizens of Highland Park but he can still appreciate the feelings and respect the opinions of those whose property is adjacent to the project and who might feel in part that it is a detriment rather than a benefit to them. To those of this trend of mind it might be of some consolation that in the event that they are outâ€"voted in the matter they are giving way to the admirable philosophy of the greatest good to the greatest number. Then again they might, too, take heart in the thought that because of the war and its attendent heavy demands on steel their hour of capituation might be indefinitely . postponed. As Mr. White pointed out even necessary miliâ€" tary construction work is being delayed today because of the shortage of steel and we are inclined to believe that the priority rating of the Green Bay Road: Any project such as the Green Bay Road improvement is bound to proâ€" duce a divergence of opinion in a comâ€" munity and this one is no exception. It is always hard to define the line beâ€" tween the greatest good to the neighâ€" borhood immediately: effected by the improvement and the public benefit to the city as a whole. This writer is plan to refrain from widening the street and confine the work to the drainage part of the project and simply resurfacing the road. Following Mr. White‘s remarks the Mayor thanked those present for exâ€" pressing their views and stated that he felt the Board was now ready to enâ€" tertain a resolution on the project which was subsequently passed and the meeting was adjourned. The meeting of the Board of Local Improvements was recessed for a short time to allow a third "meeting within aâ€"meeting" to be called by Mr. Raiph i. Mack, a residence of Green Bay Road who wished to find out the numâ€" ber present who were definitely opâ€" posed to the project. Following the reconvening of the Board Mr. Donald White of 1122 South Green Bay Road who appealed for consideration of a The safety angle was introduced by Mr. Jess Halsted of Crofton Avenue who made a carnest plea that adequate safety facilities be provided to protect school children who would of necesâ€" sity have to cross a thoroughfare upon which the speed of traffic would be considerably increaged.
