In the Esra-Lana: of Margin 61h inst, you pubfis ‘a communication signed "Citizen." :1 which the writer asked :15; questions. which he wishes to have amvcred bf the Citizens' Commit. 111E firsi queni‘on “Citizen" asks is: ”Who would use the park if located at m”in his «(mad ilfiestion, _““'Can \here not be a better Loca- foifi mimic park more centrally Highland Park, March 10, 1909. We think we have fully én’swcred this question in the affirmative. We may add, however, that as time goes on me District might be further warrantéd 1n building similar break-waters and making a sixfiilar park on the ground along the shore uéed by the city near the present water works ‘and in from of the 'park 013 Central avenue. _ . “ As we stated m uur former arttcle, all the shore of Lake Michigan. which is Highland Park's sgreatest atrraclion, is ,nbw owned by private persons, excepting the park and shore adjacem‘lo the water works,» and the.litt|e park and Ravine Drive, now under Lake Michigan To acquire any other shore rights along Lake Michigan for a public park at this time Would be absolutely unjustifiable, owing to the fact that the city now holds for the public these two beautiful pieces of ground along Lake Michigan. V [in his fourth question ”Citizén" asks whether it would ”not be better to use the money necessary to establish a Pub- lic Park for one located near the city pumping station, while the propeflrty on top of the blufi could be used for picnics, etc." -We think-we have answered Citizen's fourth question. This may, however. be said in additionâ€"that in order to acquire the land under the water in from‘of the park on Central avenue near the city pumping station. it is equally essential that a Park District be establisheti for that purpose in order that the District could secure title to the land antler the water at that point, and could build the nececsary break-waters and extend the park out under the lake. it is further necessarv in order that the park Could be pfiperly‘ cared for and policed. , A .7704 erection of e per} ‘ Dietrt'ct at tlu': time it not WK connected wit}: Ravine 'flriw or t’te furl on CW6] quanta; or] with any lulu one [line of ground m ,mcd byl’fln city. The Park District can be established regardless of any one piece of territory. When once in exist- ence, it will be authorized bylaw to take ény land the city or any individual, out of his private munificence, may see fit to give it for ' the use. of the public. Wherever it niay own the shore rights, it will be authorized to go out under Lake Michigan find acquire the land under the shoal water.

All these public places cache placed under control and “Citizen" asks in his third question: "Would the expense at Which the éity, in other word: the’ general public, undcr- take such a scheme be warranted at the above location?" Asidé from the break- waters the only other pnme necessity forth: District in order to restore to all the people what was once dedicated and given to them, will be one well-equipped park »wlkc3 man, clothed with the authority to keep some 01 our good ' friends from selling Ihe park a wagon load at a time and hauling it away. Highland Park is not It very wide city --.abo’ut a mile wide.- It is,' however, about four miles long from the countv line to Fort Sheridsn and the little park under the lake between Beech street and Ravine Drive Is about half way between the north and south limits of the city To locate a park anywhere else" In High- land Park at this time would mean the' purchase of land at very high figures, 'which Certainly no one would favor. But,- why do this? The Park District; when established. will not lau- to luy "I“, 7w"? If the city, with consent of the abutting "property owners, will turn over the Dis- trict Ravine .Drive and the little park under the water, the District will not expend a dollar for land. We substan- tial break waters 'with a little piling ‘will not only restore the now suhmeged read- way and park but will add several hun- dred feet of land, now under the shoal water, to what was originally the shore and park. These short; rights would beâ€" long to the Park District.

The Park Board absolutely stopped the traffic, and instead of athe park being carried away in wagons and sold large accretions from the land um dEr the shoal waters of Lake Michigan were added to the park. “Cifigcp-tR" sixth 1:1de question is a double hegdcr, as inflows: “Did not the sand angijzravel used about the premise! of the“ author of the letter pubflshed game from the shore~ of Lake Michigan with their k'nowledge'md consent?

It must be admitted that for many years it has been done. but that does not give a right to do so. The people lyve not known what their-rights were and have quietly sat still and beheld their park and driveway along. the lake destroyed by By the joint action oi'the waters of the lake and by excavation and hauling away ol its substance. Tillie in no doubt that the few men. and they are very few, who have hauled the sand and- gravel have been perfectlv honest in doing- so. They believed they had a right -to' take in We doubt if any of them were ever told, or euer thought, that the land he was“ hauling and selling was a portal in park or driveway 'that belonged to the peOple. Certainly no workingman would claim the right to dig. up the ground under the park on Central avenue. and haul it away and sell'it for his own profit. We most sincerely be- lieve that when the situation is iully ex- plained to the workingmen, who-e cause “Citizen" claims the right to champion. there will not he found one among them in.
