The greater the develop-- ment of propertf' on the outskirts of the Village, the greater the in-- crease in the value of inside propérty. In addition to this, in the putting in of these improvements, a large amount of money is paid out in the Village by the contractors, giving work to laborers and teamsters, and benefiting the stores, restaurants and other busi-- ness houses in the Village. Subdivisions and. improvements on the property bring in more taxes, thus helping in the expense of run-- ning the Village. ; We believe that every person wants Libertyville to continue to grow and prosper. In order to do so, we must have a progressive and enlightened administration of public affairs, free from preju-- dice and.petty politics. -- The putting.in of improvements by prop-- at\'ty owners, at their own expense, not only increases the value of eir property. but increases the value of every ather nioee af nran. We are in favor of an economical and efficient administration of Village affairs. and believe that every citizen has a right to be heard on any question he may wish to bring before the Board, in a fair and unga,rtlal manner. We are in favor of a square deal for all persons and property in the Village. We are not in favor of establishing a building line on Milwau-- kee Ave, or Park Ave: against the will of %he property owners, and do not believe the time is ripe for any plan for widening these We are in favor of modifying the Zoning Ordinance from time to time, as conditions may require. The principle of zoning has been adopted by¥ all progressive communities around Chicago. It protects 3Vqr.v property owner in the enjoyment of his property from undesirable. encroachments, but it must be made elastic so as to provide for the growth of the Village and for changing condi-- tions.
