Deerfield C. of C. Proposes Election For Park Board The proposal of the Deerfield Chamber of Commerce that an elecâ€" tion be held in November next to determine whether Deerfield shall have a park district has met with enthusiastic . approval. . Forward looking citizens are agreed that the time is opportune to establish a purkdhtrkt.inhet'mmlhn inquired why such action was not taken long ago. An election in November can be held with a minimum of expense and the fact that both state and federal representatives are to be selected at that time makes it reasonably cerâ€" tain that the result will be a clear eut expression of opinion, The work of preparing the petiâ€" tion for the park district and the petitions for the proposedâ€" candiâ€" dates for park commissioners is beâ€" ing pushed forward under the diâ€" rection of W. R. Mitchell and his Chamber of Commerce committee. The committee consists of Edward H. Selig, Clarence Schmidt, Edward F. Segert and Raymond Meyer and Burton B. McRoy is sitting in as honorary legal adviser. Voters are urged to come forward with suggestions both mss to the terâ€" ritory which should be taken into a park district and s candiâ€" dates for the first vg;:‘nifih- ers. More than one opinion x‘ beenexpmudflutwk,_ j trict should not run furthéi -11 than the county line and that it should be limited to areas within the West Deerfield Township. Inâ€" asmuch as a majority of the votes in each township is required to esâ€" tablish a park district which inâ€" eludes land in more than one townâ€" ship, it would appear advisable not to take in too much territory at the first step. Additional areas can alâ€" ways be taken in later by annexaâ€" tion proceedings which call for two elections, one in the then park disâ€" trict and one in the territory proâ€" posed to be added. Affirmative reâ€" sults in both elections are required for the addition to become effective.

HIGHLAND PARK, ILLINOI8, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1938 tayern in Highwood, and while Enrollment Shows In Local Schools «. Yesterday (Wednesday) nearly 8,000 children joined the annual "back to school" brigade in Highâ€" land Park. In the grade schools, little outside of the usual routine enrollment was accomplished, while at the high school the upper classâ€" men received assignments and outâ€" lined their semester‘s classes. The freshmen were enrolled Tuesday . Only tentative enrollment figures gould be obtained due to the fact that many families have not returnâ€" ed from summer vacations. °A full mecount may not be available for mnother week. At the high school 316 freshman were registered on Tuesday, but it is felt by those in charge that this number will be increased before the end of the week. ‘The total enrollâ€" ment including freshman was 1151, which compares to a great extent to last year‘s figures. In District 108, which includes Ravinia, Lincoln, Braeside and Ridge schools, the first day‘s regisâ€" tration fell short a little of last years. ‘Three hundred and fortyâ€" eight pupils were recorded at Linâ€" coln against 358 in 1937; Rld;e‘ school enrolled 66, an increase over last year‘s 57. Ravinia fell short with 395 as compared to 1987 figâ€" ures of 401. Braeside showed conâ€" siderable increase, 179 against last year‘s 153. The Braeside district has been rapidly developing duflu‘ the past two years, due to an exâ€" tensive building program, many new homes being constructed in the south end of Highland Park. It is quite likely that final records will show a vast change in the next two weeks. In District 107, Elm Place school enrolled 547 children the opening day, while the Green Bay school listed 179 pupils. This is approxiâ€" mately the same as last year‘s enâ€" ‘rollment, although there may be ‘soimme increase as soon as the famâ€" fhes return from summer vacations. Fortyâ€"six new families were recordâ€" ed in the district, not including the first graders never before enrolled.
