This was â€" Mayor Frank J. Ronan‘s reason for ‘ asking representatives from each woman‘s organization in Highland Park to meet together and form a consumer information and eduâ€" cation committee. _ There are many sincere Christian people who do not approve of observing Lent. Their‘reason is primarily the fact that the suffering of Jesus was in the which Highland Park is included, creâ€" ated a consumer division and asked that consumer centers be opened.

It does not take into account the necessary maintenance of grounds nor the upkeep of the facilities used for recreational purposes. Actually the greater percentage of the funds received by the Park district should be classed as recreational funds.

Annual audits are made showing the disposition of all Park District funds and a copy of this audit is on file and available at the Park Board office for inspection by the public. There is definite conâ€" fusion regarding the budget. Our tax rate to cover operating expenses reâ€" mained the same last year but the taxes levied ‘to pay outstanding bonds were reduced over $12,000, This was due to the fact that less money was needed to pay off maturing bonds and the tax monies received for bond principal and interest cannot be used for any other purpose. The audit for the fiscal year ending May 31, 1942 showed that of the moni¢s received and collected for opâ€" erating expenses, $19,375.10 was from general taxés, including bot‘i current and back taxes, and $14,856.84 was from fees and charges that are perâ€" mitted by law.
