As applies to any public taxing body, the tax rate is fixed by state law and cannot be alterâ€" ed except by a favorable referenâ€" dum endorsed at the polls by a majority of the eligible voters. The 1949 tax rate for the Park Distâ€" rict was 0.071 per cent, compared with 0.360 per cent for the City Government and 0.144 per cent for the County Government. The assessed valuation of property within the Park District territory for 1949 amounted to a total of $75,056,069.00, In order to illustrate the relaâ€" tively small amount of tax money expended in a typical year by an ‘individual taxpayer for Park Distâ€" from each $100.00 paid in real estate taxes: fiquiio Abatement .... ‘Township ~.....................

It also has an imposing city hall that is headquarters for the lowest glaigtgolice deâ€" partment of any city of this size on the North Shore. It has now been opined that the position of mayor in Highwood is legally vacant and that any salary checks for city employes, signed by Mussatto, are "ilâ€" legal." If this is true, we think it makes the move that much more effective. The city employes will certainly get their money under any circumstances, but the more emphasis that is placed on the Highwood situâ€" ation by such complications, the more attention the case will get in official circles, and that, we believe, is Mr. Mussatto‘s principal objéctive. _ _ â€" Regardless of the merits of either side of the City of Highwood vs. the Nudi tavern controversy, wé think Mayor Thomas Mussatto of Highwood made an astute move when he "resigned" from his mayoral duties in ?rotest against "interference by judges from Chicago." 3 $.32 .2‘ s Mayor or No Mayor Vol. 40; No. 4 The Park District has two other By Francis D.

The gracious comments made to me by many of my friends and other _ citizens _ are â€" somewhat frightening. I am no miracle man.
