It is argued by a number of perâ€" sons opposing the bond iqaue that Highland Park should get state aid on these bridges, as Glencoe has done, but the state highways department points out in a telegram to the mayâ€" or that in Lake county this cannot be done under the law. It appears that because of its large population Cook county towns have an advantage in this respect. The telegrams of the mayor to the State Division of Highâ€" ways and the reply of ChieflEhgimér Sheets are given herewith: f Mayor‘s Telegram â€" Following is, Mayorâ€"Hastings‘ wire to State Highway |Engineer Sheets: Ts Aug. 5, 1926 To J.

SAMUEL M. HASTINGS, Mayor. City of Highland Park. s State Engineer‘s Reply And here is the State Highway Enâ€" gineer Sheets‘ reply, showing the fuâ€" tility of hoping that state mid can be obtained: i Is Only Way Feasible ‘It may further be stated here that several times in recent years the mayâ€" or and commissioners haye been in touch with the ‘state highway officials with a view tb securing te aid in this matter, but always without sucâ€" cess, and State Engineer Sheets‘ telâ€" egram is the final word the matâ€" ter. Hence, as the city has no money ‘ its treasury for bridgefiuilding, A bond issue is the only pogsible alterâ€" native. It is pointed out by city offiâ€" cials that several city ad inistrations in the past have endeavored to solve this problem without a d issue, as the city was at that time| not in conâ€" dition financially to float| such an is sue, but they were unable to find a way, and it is regarded especially fortunate now that the ci'iy;l financial state is such that the necessary bond issue can easily be made without imâ€" pairing the city‘s credit any way. The report made to the city counâ€" cil by Engineer Fyfe on the: condi« tion of the two bridges on North Sheridan road is given |below. He finds the one bridge wholly unsafe and the other, though ible of reâ€" . pairs, scarcely wortk, the . expense.
