FOR COUNTY MEMORIAL The board of supervisors on Thurs~ day afternoon unanimously adopted a resolution which provided for the appropriation of $10,000 to be put into a memorial for the service men of Lake County in a new Victory Me~ morial hospital to be erected at Wau. kegan. The supervisors did this af- ter a special committee of H. C. Mey- er and James O’Connor presented a resolution as follows: “Y our Finance Committee to whom the report of the Special Committee on the Victory Memorial Hospiul was referred. beg lave to report as fol- lows: “We rechmmend that this board approprite the sum of $10,000 to said Victory Memorial HQapital for a memorial to the soldiers, sailors and marine: who served in the late war from Lake County, H]. We further recommend that this sum be includ- ed in the next annual tax approp- riation and levy when collected be set aside by the county treasurer in a separate fund to he need when authorized by the Finance Committee these acting together with a com- mittee of the American Legion of Lake County, In." TRIBUTE TO SERVICE MEN (‘ounty Board of Supervisors Fittingly Recognize the Service of Men From Lake County “We further recommend that if the Finance Committee, then act‘ 3, deems this amount inadequate to - compliah the purpose for which it is appropriated, then we recommend that a further sum be appropriated to the deficiency. said am not to exceed a sum equal to $5.00 per sol- dier, sailor Vor marine who served in the World War from Lake County, Illinois. NUMBER 2 It is seen that the board has thus provided a very substantial memorial to the men in Lake County who went into the service. It is a fine tribute and the plan is to use this money to- ward the pun-Chan» of a bronze tablet on which will be the names and possi- bly the enlistment, of every man who went into service for the county. The Beerd feels that this is a fitting trib- ute to pay the boys and this takes the place of a plan considered at a prev- ious meeting wherein it was suggest- ed that some sort of a memorial be erected at the Court Home. It is estimated that in all there were about 3100 men from Lake County in service, all of whose names will appear on the memorial. Thus, if the memorial plates should cost the maximum allowed by the board, $5.,00 it would mean that the total appropriation which the board sanctioned would be $15 555 instead of $10,000 as first specified in the resolution authorizing the assist- Frederick Lindholm died very aud- denly st his home in Raviuia Sunday evening shortly after ten o‘clock.

COMPLETES TWENTY- SIXTH YEAR, TUESDAY Ossoli had a birthday party on Tuesday, the ninth, and a most en- joyable occasion it was, too. Ossoii has completed twenty six: years of existence as a club and a! souvenir for the members and their! friends has been prepared and is? ready for distribution. This souvenir is “The History of the Ossoli (‘luh of Highland Park, its Founders and Presidents 1894-1920,” dune in an attractive little booklet containing copies of photographs of each president. “Highland Park gets busy with her mity bag,” so sayl the Chicago Tribune in last Sunday’s issue, the vnnity beg being supposed to contain the city plan including parks, boule- vards, beach improvements. zoning restrictions and all the other “fix- in's" of a modern suburban city. “Way back in 1915," says the arti- cle, “a city beautiful commission was appointed by Mayor 8. M. Hastings. Possibilities of improving Highland Park were studied for several years, and then in September, 1919, archi- teets Edward 11. Bennett and William ‘E. Parsons were commissioned to draw up a comprehensive city plan for Highland Par ," etc. All this looks like news, but it isn't. One might think, at first blush, that the Chicago Tribune really knew all about our city plan, more in fact than we knew ourselves, but a careful read- ing of the article discloses the sinple fact that it is an article devoid of 024.30“ Club Celebrates Anniversary.

The fact is that out city plan has not yet been made known to the public. When it is, it will contain some large and unique plans, something distinctive in north shore town planning, something that will differentiate Highland Park from other cities ofAits kind.
