Hess, Wilmette Park structed to prepare a condemn park purposes for Land," attorney for the board, has been in- resolution to "No Man's the triangle of county land ly- ing between Wimmette and Kenilworth. This action was taken at the meeting of the Wilmette Park board last Mon- day evening, and was the result of requests by Village President Earl E. Orner, and Arthur Bonnet, represent- ing Kenilworth citizens, that such ac- tion be taken. According to Attorney Hess, the res- olution is being drawn up and will be presented to the Park board at an adjourned meeting to be held next Tuesday evening, October 19, at the Wilmette Village hall. At this time there will be a discussion of the situ- ation. Residents of Wilmette and Kenil- worth who live near the strip of county land, as well as many others, have been alarmed at the prospect of the erection of two club buildings to be known as the Vista del Lago and the Breakers. A moving picture theatre and a block of stores is now under con- struction. Hold Mass Meetings These residents feel that no building of the kind should be allowed there and [it comes within the have begun a move to oppose them. There was a mass meeting at the Ken- ilworth Community house two weeks ago and last Sunday Wilmette and Kenilworth citizens met at the home of Arthur Bonnet, in Kenilworth, to dis- cuss the situation. it was the request of these citizens which led the Park [board to consider acquiring the land for park purposes. It was felt that this was the only to stop building on the land. Tt way cannot be annexed either to Wilmette or to Kenilworth without the consent of the property owners, which, of course, is out of the question. It was found, however, that although the vil- lages have no jurisdiction over the land, limits of the Wil- district, and the faction opposing the club buildings hopes to be able to prevent their construction bv acquiring the land as a park. Various values have been given the strip of land, one as low as $500,000, but Village Attorney Charles H. Jack- son of Wilmette said that the Gage family placed the value of their hold- ings there at $7,000,000,000. According to real estate men, offers of $1,000 a front foot for some of the land have heen declined. The plan of the Park hoard is to raise the necessary funds to acquire the land by special assess- ment which would reach everyone in the Park district. mette Park Mr. and Mrs. Oscar I.
