E., LodgeNo. 1362, held a special meeting which was exceptionâ€" ally well attended on Tuesday eveâ€" ning at which it was decided to hold a carnival. The date for this affair will be set at the regular meeting toâ€" morrow night. Plans will be discussed and committees appointed. The celeâ€" bration will be either a street carnival or will be held atâ€"Sunset Park and the decision on whichâ€"this big day shall be will be made tomorrow night. The members present Tuesday eveâ€" ning practically decided to give away ten one hundred dollar prizes instead ‘of giving away an automobile. A large attendance is expected at the regular meeting tomorrow eveâ€" With the prospect of another effort being made to secure apâ€" proval of a bond issue to build bridges on Sheridan road and to provide necessary funds for other municipal improvements, there is contiderable discussion of the proposition, especially with refâ€" erence to the replacing of the bridges. Everybody realizes that something must be done to reopen Sheridan road at this point, and since an expert bridge engineer has said that the bridges are unsafe and dangerous, no time should be lost in arriving at a decision in the matter. The bond issue has been defeated, but that does not provide for the bridges or a substitute plan, . In this connection it might be worth while to give serious conâ€" sideration to the plan suggested in a letter printed in last week‘s Press regarding the filling. in of the ravines, with culverts and retaining walls, etc., to take care ofâ€" water and other elements. Here is a plan that might be followed at less cost, and it is at least worthy of consideration. : The city might get the letter writer, or some contractor or engineer to submit definite figures as to what the filling:in plan would cost; and if it would mean a worthâ€"while saving, other things being equal, it might prove the solution of the difficulty.. The voters who defeatéd the bond issue realize that some plan must be adopted to take care of the matter, but they did object to the spending of so much money for bridges, if the problem can be solved at less expense, Everybody might be able to agree on the fillâ€"in plan, if it is shown to be feasible and less expensivé; if not then the bridges must be built. The law does not permit the state to give towns of more than 2,500 population any aid in bridge building outside of Cook counâ€" ty. Hence Glencoe got state aid, and Highland Park cannot get it. This city must solve this problem for itself, and some plan should be evolved on which ‘all can agree for the. sake* of harâ€" mony, so that Sheridan road may be reopened as soon as possible.

Gail regarding the Sheriâ€" dan road bridge problem is selfâ€"exâ€" planatory and is printed without furâ€" ther comment: j Highland Park Press, Gentlemen: The suggestion in your last issue is a timely solution of the bridge question if the state does not build the bridges and thus made Route No. 42 continuous as contemplated by the statutes when it designated this route in the Sixty Million Dollar bond isâ€" sue and also in the One Hundred Milâ€" lion Dollar bond issue as a part of the State Highway System.

Sam says that some one slipped him a lot of old balls and that they all refused to go over. Never mind, Sam; just remember we all of us have a few balls at the botâ€" tom of the same, lake, including the mayor of our city, who managed to sink a few himself about a week ago.
