The propoai. “on salt now stands is to. add to Highland Park all the territory be- tween the corporation limits and the Cook county line. The tract em- braces song 500 acres, about twenty acresofwhichis improved. The prop- mition toannex this territory has been forwarded chiefly by owners of large tracts along the Sheridan road who hope to see the completion of the boulevard between Highland Park and Glcncoe. in the event of annexation. A majority of the voters of Ravinia have signed the required petition with the understanding that water, sewer system and other street improvements will result from unit~ ing with Highland Park. There are aleo a number of bridges to be built,- and Bavinia probably hopes for some assistance no this direction The pro- posed annexation would not add ms- t'erially to Highland Park’s popula- tion, but it would enable the city to levy taxes on a considerable tract of unoccupied land. Just what adVant- age Highland Park can hope to de- rive by the arrangement is a ques- tion for the city council todetermine. and the Naws- Lana; will not ammo to ofier advice in the premises. Ba- vinia will have to pay considerably higher taxes than at present and will naturally capect some compensating benefits.
