Hu qucflion of the hour bcforc the City Councii. at their regu- lar monthly meeting. last lucsdziy eu'ning was (he proposed Bond issue of $50 DUO (or the purpose of building cattci'ctc bridges and septIc tank at the foot of Ravine dri\c~ 'lhe majority of thq Council contends that such action would be {cheaper to the city, but ac- cording to UK foilowing address submitch to the council by Alder Tn (he Hun Mia) 01 and Members of the Cit) Council One of the great needs of our town “to which the atten- tion of our council should be called. and which should receive its most careful attention, is a City Park." -\'\'hile at the. present'fime the necessity of such a place for Public Recreation outside of‘ii'hat we have. may. be deemed by some of no ‘ great consequence. The unpreceded increase of homesteads allalong the north sh'ore, and especially in Highland » Park. will in avfew years make the buying of larid suitable for a park practically impossible for the ideal location for, such a place should be as near the densely populated part of the town as possible, and should consist, for a city of our size, of not less than fifty acres of rolling and partial~lywood¢d and drained land. We must all acknowledge that ~a‘tract of this kind, and so located, and at any-wheres reasonable fig'ures, will soon be a thing of the past _Over twentyâ€"five years ago the little park on the lalge front was set aside for that purpose, andlit ' is only today that we can fully realize the great value ofthis spot. as fence after fence goes up to prevent thepublic from trespassing .on private grounds along the shore. We begin to appreciate more and tnore the foresightedness and public spirit of the parties responsible. Now isn't it our duty to follow such eXample‘? Has the coming generations not a right to find- and enjoy more of such privilegea and‘on a l'argerstiale',‘ . liven now where apparently plenty of vacant property is to be had, it is fresh in our minds what difficulties the boys of the local base hall teams had last year in securingia ball field to play their' games on. which are enjoyed by hundreds of 'our citizens composed mostly of the working class. such as arepunable to belong to an- I‘lxmoor or Lake Shore Club. Is there any relief in sight? Will” our park'ways and jstreets of the west side which used to be the playgrounds for many little tots become less dangerous from automobile and motor-cycle? At the rate we are building, in twenty years from now that portion of the city will be/denselv populated. and in order that they may then enjoy a park, the site for the same should be secured now large enough to allow the installation of a ball field, playgrounds drives, walks. and bttildinigisites for'future public institutions such as lecture and assembly hallsxand a I-‘good‘ fellowship club." No pos- sibly better chance 'to secure such a site could present itselfto this council than the proposed bond issue to be voted on this issue as it1 now stands for bridges and septic tanks on the east side has one chance in a thousand to go through when voted oh next month. Approximately sixty per cent. of the voters-live on the west side- these have for years helped to pay the ‘. thousands of dollarswhich were required in maintaining the east side bridges without any direct benefit to them, indirectly they did benefit. but nowhere near what their share should he, therefore would it not be a better plan to in- crease the bond issue to SOSJXX), allowing $40,000, for repairing and building new bridges and the proposed ‘septic tank. and $25,000 for the purchasing of a city public park on the west side? Only then audnot until then will you hav an issue to bring before the people which is just. for which every member'of the council can heartily join in to' push through.‘ and every intelligent voter will recognize the necessity of both the bridges as 'well as the park. They both belong den of taxation should be borne by all of Respectfully submitted. rsyxr-rrt '1 A | In to the people. and the bur them. -' REFUSE BILL IS PASSED Council Prohibits Sweeping Into Streets. . laughsjwer m the petition preséntéd by the ,\Vo§1en?s Club .1thth time ugh, the Highland Park City Countyl at a meeting in the City Hall Tuesday ev-l suing passed. ah ~urdin'ance prqhibilini'gl smmkeepeys from sweeping refuse hum their {Slacesuf business unto the side? walllfintkand streets. ._ , Offenderslwill be fined not less than $3 and pm more than $20.
