The {Decent cicctioa for the on- ganization of the Park District rcâ€" sultcd in a victory for the promot- ors of the plan by a substantial majority. The County Judge has canvassed the returns and declared the district duly organized and the commissioners duly elected) While there was considerable dif- terenee of opinion prior to the election as to the merits of the proposed plan, the matter was fairly fought out :at the polls, and it is the duty‘ of all g'ood Eitizens to forget their differenCes and to give their support to the newly elected commissioners. The pet» sonnel of the commissionea and the fact that they represent difier- ent sections of the: district are a guarantee that the affairs of the ldistriet will be economically an: lwisely administered and that eat part of the district will receive i share of the: improvements nd benefits to flow from the organiza: tion of the district The creation of the Park Dis- itrict marks a decided step in .ad-' E‘Iratxce in the history of Highland fParlt Ifdhe commissioners move slowly and Cautiously. we have no ;doubt the impmvements they will jinstitute will amply justify the creation of the district. There is i_much work to be done. such as isprinkling of streets. the care and? maintenance of park-ways the planting of trees. the taking over iof streets and the construction and, maintenance of boulevards and public parks. the restoring of the submerged street connecting Ra- vine avenue with Beech street and ithe filling' In and reclaiming of the ishallow waters of the Lake oppo- isite the public park at the foot of Central avenue and the restora- ition of the beautiful Ravine drive. It Is not expected of course that the commissioners will do every- thing at once but it is believed that "their conduct of the district affairswill vindicate the wisdom of their selection and the creation of the new district. icomraac 313.5!
