ll OO CC OO CO {COC 2 WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, APRIL 18, 1925 HAS SUBSTITUTE FOR ANNEXATION Northwestern Expert Evolves New Idea in Development of Greater Chicago CITES MODERN SCHEME Suburbs Will Not Lose Their Identity Not annexation but federation of various suburbs of Chicago, possibly on the London or New York plan, but, at all events, a compromise between direct annexation to the central city and entire separation from it. This is the way to settle the impending "annexa- tion problems" of Evanston, Wilmette, Oak Park and other adjacent suburban centers whose people largely object, it is surmised, to direct annexation to Chicago. Prof. William L. Bailey, of Northwestern university, expert in ur- ban and suburban population move- ments, in reply to a request for a statement by a group of leading citi- zens of Evanston, evolved the fore- going program and with it adds the important detail of an extended trac- tion system so metropolitanized as to include all of Chicago's immediate suburbs. Dr. Bailey holds that both problems are intimately related. "Perhaps this metropolitan district about Chicago has an opportunity to develop something even more modern Winnetka Now Has Unit of Isaac Walton League Winnetka is now officially enrolled among the communities that proudly >oast a unit of the Isaac Walton League of America, a national organ- ization of fishermen and huntsmen who believe in conservation of the forests and wage a constant fight against the wanton destruction of wild life. At a meeting held recently the Win- netka Walton club was organized with Percival Hunter as president, A. Mon- | tague Ferry as treasurer, and B. J. Kellum, secretary. Members of the club who attended the organization meeting included Per- cival Hunter, Frank Ferry, N. K. An- derson, A. S. Anderson, Arthur Dean, J. W. F. Davies, Judge Charles M. Thomson, A. Montague Ferry, Dr. J. O. Ely, and Sherman Gobel. A charter has been issued the club and will be formally presented at a meeting called for Friday, April 24, at Community House, at which there will be talks on the purposes and achieve- ments of the league by leaders in the national movement.

The dealing with them be Kinder's Exultemus, as problems of community relations and organization is, however, a neces- sary preliminary. The most recent case of metropolitan consolidation is that of Berlin which by complete an- nexation of its suburbs has become a city of about 4,000,000. There is, how- ever, little basis for comparison of the state of metropolitan politics here and there." i Annexation Unpopular ~Annexaiion ot the vex suburb with the big city is net 0 WS avy it once was, Dr. "Baily asserts ut he thinks that the sburb, to gofyve its problem should no assume gz, super- cillious Attitude toward the #city. "Evanston must ralizzaf® continues the sociologist, "that is so located in this metropolitan area that the great city at its doors will affect: it with an immediacy that ill not be} the case, say, with Oak Park to the | B west. Evanston is already much more | of the texture of the city than one might be ready to admit. It is not so distinctively a community of homes and families, not so distinctively resi- dential in type, as many other suburbs. It would seem inevitable that her lo- cation being what it is, that apart- ments and apartment hotels should soon include the largest number of her people." The Northwestern expert declares that Evanston is retiring from the "college town" class and should aspire to become a "university city." Suggests Cultural Center "Such a center is not one where only youth is taught and the good tradition of detached family homes is main- tained," he continued. "It may be conceived as one which is a center fo libraries, printing and publishing firms, learned institutions, museums and galleries; a center for confer ences; a locus for clubs and a resi-, dential center for business, profes. sional, literary and artistic people, and as such an educational and cultural center, centering on a nniversity, which would not thus be only an ideal place for the education of vouth, but the service-station of such a community." In this newer and great metropolitan area with Chicago as the heart, the government would both be unified and still distinct. Prof. Bailey thus would provide for a Greater Chicago and still give the traditionally-famous suburban sections a chance for a subordinate self-government as to taxation and re- lated matters over which each dis- trict desires direct supervision. Rev. Richards to Address the Sunday Evening Club The Winnetka Sunday Evening club will have Rev. James Austin Richards for its speaker on Sunday evening. He is to talk on "The Meaning of Religion." This is a great opportunity for every- one in the club and a large attendance is expected. Supper will be served as usual at 6:30 o'clock in the evening in the Camp Fire room of Community House.
